Who was Jia Baoyu's past life in a dream of red mansions? Is it a waiter or a stone?

Shen Ying, a waiter in heaven, watered the wild plant Azolla. "This crimson pearl grass for a long time" is equivalent to saving lives. In order to repay the kindness, the crimson pearl grass, which has been cultivated into a female body, took advantage of the opportunity of Shen Ying's "descent into nature" and decided to follow him and "return all my tears to him" to repay the kindness of nectar irrigation. At the same time, the stubborn stone abandoned by Nu Wa in Gengqingfeng was turned into a psychic Baoyu by two immortals, monks and Taoists, and also came to the mortal world.

Next, we saw Jia Baoyu who was born with jade and Lin Daiyu who died in tears for Jia Baoyu. It is easy to identify Jia Baoyu as Shen Ying and Lin Daiyu as crimson pearl grass. However, the author of A Dream of Red Mansions clearly tells us that it is a major feature of the book that it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Judging from Jia Baoyu's stubbornness, he is more like the embodiment of a stubborn stone.

This inevitably makes people wonder: Who was Jia Baoyu's previous life? Is it a waiter or a stone?

Yes, in addition to "when it is false, it is true and false", there is also "truth is hidden and false language exists". It is always necessary to distinguish between true and false, and "the truth is hidden and the false words exist" is the method. What impresses us at first sight and draws a conclusion is actually an illusion. The author concealed the truth, but left some clues. Jia Baoyu, in his previous life, looked like a god, but he was a stubborn stone. The author left us at least four clues.

Clue 1: Jia Baoyu is a fake Baoyu, not a god. The word "Ying" means beautiful jade, and with the word "Shen", the beautiful jade in the sky and the beautiful jade in the fairy are more textured than ordinary beautiful jade.

But Jia Baoyu's "Jia" is a homonym of "false". This is not playing homophonic. In the red chamber, homophonic is also a major feature. For example, Zhen Xuan's "pity" is "true pity", Jiao Xing is "good fortune", Zhen Yinshi is "the truth is hidden" and Jia Yu Village is "the existence of false words". The author clearly tells us that Jia Baoyu is a fake Baoyu, and he is not a God Ying.

Clue 2: The verdict tells us that Jia Baoyu is a stone in jade. It is also a major feature of the red chamber to locate the character and destiny of the main characters with judgments. The author not only wrote judgments to all women in the form of bad luck books, but also wrote judgments to Jia Baoyu in two poems, Xijiang Moon. The verdict tells us that Jia Baoyu is a stone in jade: "Even if he was born in a good skin, his stomach would have been rough."

Born in a good skin, Jia Baoyu has the radiant appearance of Shen Ying, but not the texture of Shen Ying as a beautiful jade, and his abdomen is rough.

This is just a cover-up for fairy tales: in order to attract the crimson pearl back to tears and satisfy the stubborn stone's wish of "going to the world to enjoy this splendor", she combined Shen Ying with the stubborn stone and took the shape of Shen Ying. At the same time, she divided the stone into two parts, one part turned into Jia Baoyu's mind and the other part into psychic Baoyu. In other words, psychic Baoyu is a stubborn stone, and Jia Baoyu is also a stubborn stone, which is why Jia Baoyu and psychic Baoyu are inseparable.

Clue 3: When Jia Baoyu was demonized, he diverted Baoyu's exorcism. The psychic Baoyu has the function of ward off evil spirits, but how to ward off evil spirits has not been fulfilled. Until the 25th time, Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu were enchanted by Ma Daopo, and Taoist priests and immortals appeared, using psychic Baoyu to eliminate evil spirits and saved the lives of the two brothers and sisters.

Why can psychic Baoyu ward off evil spirits? A poem sung by a monk immortal gives the answer:

Keywords powder stain, oil stain, baoguang,

I was trapped in a mandarin duck day and night.

A deep dream must wake up,

The mistake has been paid off and the party is over!

The psychic Baoyu, who was originally crystal clear, lost his luster and original exercise spirit because he was lingering in love between men and women day and night, stained by powder stains and oil stains. So, the monk fairy "wiped" the psychic Baoyu once, wiped off the stains on it and made it glow again, so that it could save its life.

This wiping process is what Zen says, "Never wipe it off, never make dust", which is the way to keep a clear head.

A piece of jade decorated with ornaments, how can it be "stained with powder, fat and precious light, and sleepy day and night?" It shows that this jade is Jia Baoyu's mind, and Jia Baoyu can be possessed by demons because his mind is polluted. It can be seen that psychic Baoyu is Jia Baoyu's heart and his essence.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu came from a hard stone, but borrowed the shape of Shen Ying.

Clue 4. The alliance between wood and stone is a Covenant reached by crimson beads and stubborn stones through vigilance and Buddhism. Few readers are willing to delve into the relationship between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu. Jiang Zhu wants to repay her kindness with tears. Shen Ying doesn't know, and she doesn't agree. Where does the alliance come from This is only a unilateral act of crimson beads, not an alliance.

However, Stone knew the reason and result that Zhu Jiang wanted to repay her tears. Just as it was being carried by two immortals, I heard the conversation between the two immortals. When it became Jia Baoyu and the object of tears, it naturally accepted this Covenant and reached a wood-stone alliance.

Normal people will not accept Lacrimosa's strange practice, which has only disadvantages and no benefits, not to mention the mighty eagle in heaven. But the hard stone is acceptable, because the thinking of the hard stone is as strange as that of the crimson pearl. This is what Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu have in common. They don't have normal human thinking. One is made of stone, and the other is made of vegetation. That's why there is an alliance between wood and stone.

The above are four clues left by the author in the book, telling us that Jia Baoyu's previous life was a hard stone rather than heroic spirit.
