大智若愚隐真性——论婴宁之“美人心计”

Great Wisdom Appearing Slow-witted——On Ying Ning's “Scheming Beauty”

婴宁是蒲松龄《聊斋志异》卷二婴宁篇的女主人公,被赞为"蒲松龄笔下最美的女性"。众多研究者认为婴宁浑沌未开、憨痴喜笑、天真烂漫、清纯可人,然若细察之,却发现婴宁城府极深、善用心计、钩心摄魄、笑里藏针。婴宁大智若愚的本性主要表现在"非为婴儿""笑乃工具""以静制动"等三个方面。

Ying Ning is a heroine in Volume II of Liao zhai zhi yi by Pu Songling, who is praised as ＂the most beautiful women under the pen of Pu Songling＇. Many researchers believe that Ying Ning is pre- liminary, idiotic, naive and pure. But if you have a serious consideration, you will find Ying Ning is deep, scheming, charming and smiling with vicious intent. Ying Ning＇s hidden wisdom is mainly manifested in three aspects, they are ＂not a baby＂, ＂laughing as a tool＂ and ＂quietly waiting others out＂.
