The religious activities described in Jin Ping Mei CI Hua are mainly Buddhist activities and Taoist activities.Buddhist activities mainly include the activities of preaching,sutras and confessions,pilgrimage and almsgiving,while Taoist activities mainly include the activities of fasting and Jiao,the activities of Fangshu,the activities of Taoist medicine,etc.The religious activities of Jin Ping Mei CI Hua are mainly related to the daily life of the citizens.Religious people include the three religions and the nine classes,and they actively participate in the life of the citizens.The writing of religious activities has historical and cultural value.Literary works are produced in a specific era and environment,which will reflect a certain social situation.Jin Ping Mei CI Hua describes various religious activities in detail,which is closely related to the secularization of religion in the late Ming Dynasty.At the same time,when describing religious activities,Jin Ping Mei CI Hua describes the mixed thoughts of Confucianism,Buddhism and Taoism among the citizens,and the mixed thoughts of Buddhism and Taoism among the citizens when holding activities,which reflects the historical reality of the unity of the three religions in the late Ming Dynasty.Secondly,as a realistic novel,the religious activities described in Jin Ping Mei CI Hua such as xuanjuan,are rarely recorded in history.Jin Ping Mei CI Hua records a complete volume of content,which can supplement the lack of historical records and has a high literature value.In a sense,Chinese religion is a folk religion.The writing of religious activities has the value of folklore and reflects the specific content of religious activities in the late Ming Dynasty.Finally,the religious activities in Jin Ping Mei CI Hua have rich ideological connotation,and the concept of color void in the novel can be better expressed through religious activities.The religious activities also strengthen the concept of enlightenment in the novel.Religious activity writing has unique literary value.First of all,the writing of religious activities can better shape the image of the characters.When describing religious activities,it will inevitably involve the characters in the activities.The Buddhists and Taoists in Jin Ping Mei CI Hua are greedy or lecherous in religious activities,and the citizens are not afraid of sex in religious activities,which all dispel the sanctity of religious activities.Pan Jinlian in the secular life is romantic or ugly,but she shows her despair for the future and shows her characters' multifaceted nature.Secondly,the writing of religious activities can promote the plot,which can be promoted to the end of the death of Jinlian,the death of the official brother and the birth of the filial brother.Thirdly,the description of religious activities makes the structure of Jin Ping Mei CI Hua more rigorous.The description of the confessional rites starts with Wu Dalang,and ends with Ximen Qing through the "King Kong Branch",Guan Ge'er and Li Ping'er.The holding of the confessional rites changes from simple to prosperous and then to simple,which shows the process of Ximen Qing family from prosperity to decline.Thirdly,the use of irony in the writing of religious activities shows the author's cynical attitude towards the secularization of religion.Finally,the writing of religious activities has important narrative significance.The writing of religious activities expands the narrative space of Jin Ping Mei CI Hua.The novels of the world are usually concentrated in the family space and the extended social space.The addition of religious activities adds the mysteriousdark space and the sacred belief space to the novels.The writing of religious activities embodies superb narrative techniques.The use of zero degree narrative shows the writer's cold-sighted writing attitude;the description of religious activities such as propaganda and face-to-face shows the function of pre narration;meanwhile,religious activities write the differences between characters,and different characters write different language styles.The writing of religious activities increases the narrative density of the novel,and the author controls the narrative rhythm by describing religious activities in detail or in brief.The writing of religious activities enhances the ironic meaning of the novel.Through the description of different behaviors of people in religion,the author reflects his attitude and plays an ironic role.
