In 'Dream of the Red Chamber', the scene where Granny Liu made everyone laugh was extremely meaningful and artistic. Judging from the setting of the plot, it happened when Granny Liu entered Rong Mansion for the second time. Wang Xifeng and Yuanyang had discussed in advance that they would make fun of Granny Liu to please Grandmother Jia. Therefore, at the banquet, Granny Liu followed their hints and said," Old Liu, Old Liu, your appetite is as big as a cow. You won't look up when you eat an old sow." It was accompanied by funny actions such as puffing up your cheeks and looking straight at her. This plot displayed the different reactions and personalities of everyone in the Jia family. In terms of character modeling, the smiles of different characters reflected their unique character. Shi Xiangyun smiled openly and generously. She was a bold and forthright person, and this kind of smile was in line with her straightforward personality. Lin Daiyu's smile was happy but painful. She was physically weak, had been taking medicine for a long time, and was mentally depressed. Although she had the care of Grandmother Jia and Baoyu in the Jia residence, she also suffered from the cold eyes and ridicule of others. When she laughed, she felt uncomfortable and her smile contained the pain of long-term repression in her heart. Xue Baochai, on the other hand, smiled quietly. She had been strictly trained in feudal etiquette and was ready to enter the palace at any time. She had developed the ability to control her emotions and performance, so she smiled subtly. From the perspective of the theme, this plot reflected the living conditions of the people in the Jia family as well as the social relationships under the feudal hierarchy. Everyone in the Jia family lived in luxury. Facing an old lady from the countryside like Granny Liu, who came from the bottom, they showed a sense of superiority in Granny Liu's teasing. Granny Liu seemed to be the object of entertainment for others, but she knew her situation well. For the sake of her family's livelihood, she put down her self-esteem to play such a role. This also hinted at the huge social class differences in feudal society and the helplessness of the people at the bottom of the society. At the same time, behind the laughter in the entire scene was the usual sadness of 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. The laughter was only on the surface. The decline of the Jia family and the tragic ending of everyone had long been buried in this seemingly relaxed and happy plot. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
