I still have memories... of happy days there. As long as Nezuko and I are alive, they will never disappear. So I must go back.
πππ
i am 100% convinced that wei wuxianβs bad memory is a defense mechanism.
he remembers little of his mother, but one of the things from her he does remember is this saying: βremember all the good others have done you, and forget all the good youβve done others.β
memory is repetition. each time you remember something, you are repeating the experience as well as re-writing it. memory is constant alteration. the only reason wei wuxian would have remembered this lesson from his mother so clearly is that throughout his childhood, he revisited it time and time again, until it is ingrained in his being and has become the foundation of his personality.
the implicit message within that lesson is βforget all the bad in life, and remember only the good.β and a young, orphaned wei wuxian took that and turned it into a crutch by which he survived to become the young teenager who is able to smile at jiang fengmian even when he is fighting for scraps with the dogs in the street, when he looked through trash piles for nourishment each day.
he forgets. he forgets so that he can survive. this is why wei wuxian has a terrible memory, and the more unpleasant an experience is, the more quickly he forgets about it (i.e. represses it); this is why he remembers little of the later part of his first life; this is why wei wuxian finds it difficult to accept a simple βthank youβ, yet says βthank yousβ constantly to others (esp. lan zhan).
though his terrible memory is often played for gags in the novel, the more you think about it, the sadder it becomes how little wei wuxian remembers of his own life - both its beginnings and its end.
this is the reason why, even after everything, wei ying is able to joke and smile like nothing has happened, a quirk that many take to be vapid levity and insensitivity and annoys them, but those who know him well (lan zhan) will know is nothing but surface appearance.
(in light of this, itβs even more significant the way wei wuxian remembers every single encounter heβs had with lan wangji in his first life, all the details he is able to recall, before he lost his mind completely.)
contrarily, jiang cheng is someone who remembers, and who remembers too much. the reason why his sword is called βthree poisonsβ, a fundamental vice in buddhist ideology and a name that has come to be one of his monikers as well, is that jiang cheng is everything buddhism stands against. (note that the jiang family crest is a nine-petaled lotus - the lotus being a central symbol in buddhism and often represents it in various contexts.)
jiang chengβs sword is called sandu because the emotions that fuel him, the sources of his fierceness, determination, and power, are all negative. the more he uses that power, the more he remembers; the more he remembers, the more powerful and spiteful he becomes. (this is not entirely his fault, per se, but an unfortunate consequence of his upbringing and everything that follows after.)
jiang cheng remembers too much, holds onto too much; he has too much baggage, he is incapable of letting go. unlike the lotus his family is known for, he cannot break through the mud of material existence and reach up into the clean air. he is mired instead in past pains, past regrets, past grudges. he remembers too much until the memories poison him: endlessly mourning everything he has lost leads to greed; ruminating on the blame of everyone involved in his familyβs deaths leads to resentment; the bias of his own memories and limited perspective leads to ignorance. thus βthe three poisonsβ.
when he and wei wuxian confront each other for the last time in the novel in chapter 103, what wei wuxian says is:
βForget it. Itβs all in the past now. Letβs not mention it any longer.β
while jiang cheng lists every important person heβs ever lost throughout the years, counting his memories like gems. this is why, when everything he once thought he knew about wei wuxian is turned on its head, jiang cheng almost goes mad from it - jiang cheng is nothing if not the sum of his memories, and wen ning has just upturned almost everything he βknewβ about himself, wei wuxian, and the order of the world.
wei wuxian lets go. jiang cheng holds on. wei wuxian forgets. jiang cheng remembers. this is the fundamental difference between them, and the ultimate reason behind their various disagreements, the reason their relationship eventually broke down beyond repair.
on a side note, itβs also interesting to think about: 1. the buddhist undertones in wei wuxianβs life philosophy, the fact that various characters throughout the novel refers to him as the true inheritor of the yunmeng-jiang spirit, and 2. how that relates to his later relationship with lan wangji, whose whole family is descended from a buddhist monk and who is pretty much the embodiment of buddhist detachment (and who later loses that detachment because of wei wuxian.)
lan wangji, the name of whose sword means βthe avoidance of worldly mattersβ, and who wades into the muck of the world repeatedly, in order to find even a shred of wei wuxianβs existence.
I love this analysis β finally someone points out the Buddhist undertones in mdzs. Iβm not an expert in Buddhist scriptures but I always wondered why mxtx chose δΈζ― (sandu) for JCβs sword and ε离 (yanli) for shijieβs name, both of which are Buddhist terms. I wish someone whoβs done their research on this could write a longer post on it.
On a side note, this analysis also reminds me of a famous quote from the Qing dynasty artist and literati Zheng Banqiao: ιΎεΎη³ζΆ (literally meaning βignorance is hard to come byβ, which can be interpreted as βignorance is bliss: itβs foolish to be wiseβ). I think WWX is a master of this β he doesnβt torment himself by regret or dwelling on negative thoughts; he lives in the present and looks forward. The only time we witness signs of remorse was when he was at his breaking point. Rest of the time he was still working on his inventions and cultivating to be a revered master.
Iβve been reading Western and Chinese scholarsβ analysis of the Buddhist teachings on happiness recently, which also surrounds on the attenuation of the βselfβ, reconciling oneself to negative emotions and re-examination of what it means to be happy from a unique personal perspective. The sustained state of this self-awareness and oneβs search of the path to happiness IS the Buddhist way. I found JC incapable of doing so, at least in the novel. WWX on the other hand has been actively practising these methods his entire life(s). The fact that WWX ends up happier than JC even after he has DIED once really rather beautifully presents the difference between the two and makes the entire story so interesting.
