通过对刘姥姥一进荣国府时"打抽丰"(荣府富贵豪华),二进荣国府时送礼物报恩、逗众人乐(荣府由盛转衰),三进容国府时真心关心认识的人(荣府近乎衰败),四进荣国府时救了巧姐(荣府已然衰败)种种言行的分析,展现了村妇淳朴善良、知恩图报等的品行品性,与贵族的阿谀奉承、奢侈享乐形成了鲜明的对比。借助村妇的一双真实的眼睛,展现贾府的兴衰。

When Liu Laolao served at the Rongguo Mansion at the first time, she ＂hit Choufeng＂ ; at the second time, she presented girls to repay obligations; at the third time, she took care about those she met; at the fourth time, she saved the girl Qiao. Through analyzing the behaviors of Liu Laolao at four different periods from her first arrival to her saving of the girl Qiao at the Ronguo Mansion, this paper shows the characters of Liu Laolao, who was a typical village woman, unsophisticated, kind and ready to repay any obligation. Such characters are quite different from those of the upper class at that time, which are snobbish and dissolute. The paper aims at demonstrating the rise and decline of the Jia Mansion from the eyes of the village woman.
