Judge Hu's Secret:An Analysis of The Peony Pavilion Centering on The Judgment in The Hell
In The Peony Pavilion,Tang Xianzu constructed a dramatic structure centered around the individual ethical situation of Du Liniang.Du Liniang's dream of wandering in the garden and her death due to admiration for beauty is a direct result of her ethical identity crisis.As a supporter of individual ethical comedy and a variant of confucian philosopher's image,Chen Zuiliang understood this and helped to bring about Du Liniang's backyard trip.The backyard is a free kingdom jointly maintained by the Flower God and Judge Hu.In the backyard of"de ethicalization",with the revival of the feeling of life,Du Liniang completed the transition from"ethical individu-al"to"individual ethics".The death of Du Liniang was the terrible news of"death from original sin"passed from the Flower Kingdom,which led Judge Hu to personally destroy the appearance of the"Free Kingdom"he es-tablished and maintained in The Judgment in The Hell.Judge Hu declared the end of the dream and started Du Liniang's difficult journey back to the universal ethical world.With Du Liniang's resurrection,"the big dream of human world"in Tang Xianzu's writing has just begun.
