Teahouse Qin Zhongyi and Eunuch Pang s reaction to the Wuxu Change

"Teahouse" is a famous drama by Mr. Lao She, in which Qin Zhongyi and Eunuch Pang are two representative characters. In the play, their reactions to the Wuxu change method are significantly different.

Qin Zhongyi was a businessman with strong patriotic feelings, who saw the difficulties faced by the country and had a positive attitude towards the emergence of the Wuxu Reform Law. He once said: "If the law is not changed, there is no hope for a strong country." His words expressed support for the reform of the law and hope for the future of the country.

Eunuch Pang had a different attitude, although he also had certain political ambitions, but he did not approve of the Wuxu Reform. He believed that changing the law would undermine the status quo, cause chaos, and make the country more unstable. He once said: "Changing the law is rebellion, and I can't agree to it!" ”

The different attitudes of the two characters reflected the different views and positions of the society at that time on the Wuxu Reform Law. Through their rich character images and in-depth historical background, Mr. Lao She has made "Teahouse" a work of great historical significance and high literary value.

The contradictions of conflicting and opposing characters reveal the fate of the times.

Reading through "The Teahouse", we can find that the dialogues of the various characters in the teahouse are often due to the contradictions of some opposing and conflicting characters. For example, the conflict scene between Song Erye, Chang Siye, and Erdezi in the first act. Although it is only one page long, the character traits of the characters, their psychological activities with each other, and the resulting dramatic conflict are described by the author in a vivid way.

Such scenes can be seen everywhere in "Teahouse". For example, in the first act, the scene of the conflict between Qin Zhongyi and Eunuch Pang; The scene of Wang Lifa and Cui Jiufeng talking in the second act, the scene of Xiao Liu Mazi deceiving Wang Lifa in the third act, and so on. Although these are small contradictions and conflicts among the people at the bottom, they represent the formation and development of the characters' thoughts in the overall social background at that time, as well as the consequential impact of their language and behavior.

Although the Teahouse is very short, it is only 50,000 words, and it is divided into three acts. However, it has successfully created dozens of characters with distinctive personality traits. Scenes of dramatic conflict run through the half-century-long history of China, and also reveal the distorted life of the old Chinese people under semi-colonialism and semi-feudalism.

The theme of "Teahouse" is to bury the old era, but at the same time it also predicts the birth of a new era. It takes the conflict between the fate of ordinary people and old China as its program, and in each act it takes the conflict of characters in the social background of the time as the commonality of tragic characters. Through "Teahouse", we can find that Mr. Lao She has a deep understanding of the old China under the semi-colonial and half-closed society, and also has a deep understanding and sympathy for the fate of the people who are struggling at the bottom of the society.

On this basis, Mr. incorporated his own correct values and social outlook, which increased the overall connotation of the play.
