Although these four maids don't have many scenes, their names are not simple and contain shocking secrets.
Yuan Chun's maid can play the piano. Yuan Chun's maid once held a piano in Yuan Chun's mother's house. She was a maid who served Yuan Chun at home, and then she was taken into the palace when she entered the palace.
The name Bao Qin has three meanings. One is to hint at the characteristics of Yuan Chun. She is good at playing the piano, just like welcoming and cherishing Sanchun. The names of the four spring girls are combined into "Chyi Chin Calligraphy and Painting", which implies that the four girls have their own specialties.
The second meaning is to pay attention to the deconstruction of the word "Qin". There are two kings above and one now below. We know that Yuan Chun later chose Fengzao Palace to seal a virtuous princess and become a noble princess. The two kings seem to imply that Yuan Chun sealed a princess.
The third meaning, holding the piano, homophonic "sudden sleep", that is, sudden death, implies the final outcome of Yuan Chun. According to the plot and foreshadowing of the first eighty chapters of the original book, Yuan Chun's final death must be very strange. Judging from his judgment that "the tiger met a dream", it seems that his death hides some kind of danger.
Yingchun's maid plays chess. Siqi, one of the maids in April, once made a scene in the kitchen and was called "Deputy Miss" by Zhou Rui's family, which shows her position in front of the cowardly Spring Festival. After all, she is also the granddaughter of Mrs. Xing's confidant Wang Shanbao.
In the name of thinking chess, the first floor represents the specialty of Yingchun, that is, playing chess. Zhou Rui's family once sent palace flowers, and Yingchun was playing chess with Tanchun. After Yingchun got married, Baoyu also wrote poems to commemorate her. There are two lines in the poem: I don't see the sound of chess all day, and the mud is a little dirty, so I know that it is good to welcome the spring.
The second meaning, chess, storytelling, word interpretation is, from wood. The sound of it. Moreover, in the past, chess pieces were mostly made of wood, which seemed to imply the character of Yingchun. She is weak by nature and is called "Ermu". She didn't even know ouch when she poked the needle.
The third meaning, Siqi, means "dead chess", implying that Yingchun's life is a dead chess game. She grew up without a mother, her father Jia She ignored her, her stepmother Mrs. Xing didn't ask her, and her elder sister-in-law didn't even care about her. Finally, she was sold by her father to Sun Shaozu, the Zhongshan Wolf. No matter how hard she struggled, there was no way out of life, and finally "went to the Huang family for a while."
Tanchun's servant girl waits on books. In April, Tanchun's fate was similar to Yuan Chun's, that is, according to the suggestion, although she finally married to a distant place, as a princess, she served Tanchun's pretty maid and followed Tanchun as a maid, just like holding a piano.
Shi Shu's most wonderful appearance was when he visited the Grand View Garden. Wang Shanbao's wife was slapped by Tan Chun. She was unconvinced and complained a few words. Uncle Shi fought back strongly. Feng said, "Like master, like servant."
The name of the stone book on the first floor represents Tan Chun's specialty, and Tan Chun is good at calligraphy. It was Tanchun who was ordered to do copying work when he visited his mother in Yuan Chun. When Grandma Liu visited Tan Chun's room in Guo Rongfu for the second time, "there were various celebrities Mo Bao, dozens of expensive inkstones, various pen containers and pens inserted in the pen sea, like trees." It can be seen that Tan Chun is good at calligraphy.
The second layer means serving a book, which means "losing". Although Tan Chun is "smart and ambitious", she was "born in the last days" and a young lady. Wang Xifeng once said: "Now there is a frivolous person. First of all, we must find out whether a girl is an unmarried woman. " In other words, Tanchun is good at everything, but lost in the situation.
In some versions, "poetry book" is called "Dai Shu", but there is only one difference between "Dai Shu" and "Dai Shu", which may be a clerical error caused by copying in the past. Judging from the deep meaning of the name, it is more likely to be "Shi Shu", while "Dai Shu" cannot be explained.
In the painting, there is a servant girl who cherishes spring. The maid who plays chess shows the picture, and the biggest handwriting is also in the copy book of Daguan Garden. Because she gave something privately, Xi Chun, who was lonely and lonely, took it out and insisted that You Shi bring it into the painting.
Painting, as the name implies, implies Xichun's painting specialty. Granny Liu entered, and Grandmother Jia took her to visit the Grand View Garden. Grandma Liu opened her eyes wide and thought that someone could draw a picture of the Grand View Garden and take it back to the villagers to see. Grandmother Jia pointed to Xichun and said to Grandma Liu, "Look at my little granddaughter, who can draw. How about letting him draw one tomorrow? " I know Xichun is good at painting.
Cao Gong made the Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting of Jia's master exactly the same, and used it to hide the names of their four maids, which can be described as well-intentioned.
Painting has another meaning. The homonym "becoming a monk" seems to imply the end of Xi Chun's becoming a monk, that is, meditation. Xichun became a monk before and after the downfall of Jiafu, and the ancient Buddha accompanied her all her life, which also reflected what she said in her judgment: "The poor embroiderer waits for the door girl and lies alone beside Deng Qing's ancient Buddha."
To sum up, Yuan Ying's exploration of the name "Four Spring Maid" is not simple, which not only implies what everyone is good at, but also covers up their respective personalities and destinies.
