A Dream of Red Mansions Baoyu's Zodiac

I. Reasons

The only person who clearly indicates the zodiac in the book is Qiu Tong, the rabbit of Qiu Tong, who found in chapter 69 of the book:

"Jia She ... a girl named Qiu Tong, who is 17 years old in the room, was rewarded as a concubine ... because she called people out to tell fortune. The fortuneteller came back and said, "It's a Yin who belongs to the rabbit. "Everyone will get up, only Qiu Tong is a rabbit, saying that he is rushing." From this, we can get the following information: On the day of Jia Jing's funeral, Jia Lian secretly married Second Sister You. This year, Qiu Tong was seventeen years old and was a rabbit. So, how old is Baoyu in the same year? Let's go back to the forty-fifth reading. During this time, Daiyu herself said, "I am fifteen years older this year." If Daiyu is fifteen, Baoyu is sixteen and Baochai is eighteen. Because Baoyu is one year older than Daiyu, see the third time in the book, Daiyu said: "

At home, I often hear my mother say that this brother is one year older than me and nicknamed Baoyu "; Baochai is two years older than Baoyu because Baochai and Aaron are the same age. See Chapter 6: "Let's count, Xiangling, Qingwen and Baochai are all the same age as him", and Aaron is two years older than Baoyu. See Chapter 6: "Aaron is a smart woman, two years older than Baoyu".

The next plot has developed to the fifty-second time, which happened in the same year. Fifty-third time: On New Year's Eve, Ningguo Mansion offered sacrifices to ancestors, and Guo Rongfu gave a banquet at Yuanxiao. Just tell everyone that after this year is the year after next, then Baoyu will be seventeen. This time lasted until the 69th time, all in the same year.

Life, of which the fifty-third time is the first month, and the sixty-third time Baoyu's birthday is June of the same year.

In the same month, Jia Jing died, and then Jia Lian secretly married the filial second sister. By the 69th time,

Jia forgave you. Second Sister You swallowed gold in the twelfth lunar month of the same year. Therefore, by the sixty-ninth time,

Baoyu happens to be the same age as Qiu Tong, both of whom are seventeen years old. It can be concluded that Baoyu is also a rabbit. Then, Daiyu, who is one year old with little Baoyu, is naturally a dragon, and Baochai, who is two years old with big Baoyu, is definitely a cow.

Second, the profile of the characters.

Jia Baoyu is the protagonist in China's classic Dream of Red Mansions. He was reincarnated as a waiter in Shen Ying, and was born with a jade, which was the last unused stone in Goddess of Mending Heaven. Jia Zheng's second son, Mrs. Wang, is in the house, and Jia's house is called Bao Gong. Born of jade, he is the grandson of Jia Fuyu, hence his name Jia Baoyu. Since I was a child, I have been deeply loved by my grandmother Jia Mu, and I live in Jia Mu Hospital. When I was twelve or thirteen years old, I moved into Hongyi Garden in Grand View Garden at the behest of Princess Yuan. He and his cousin Lin Daiyu are soul mates, and gradually develop from love to love. However, Daiyu died in tears and later married her cousin Xue Baochai. After marriage, I never forgot Daiyu, and finally chose to become a monk and return to Gengqingfeng.

The love story of Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai (marriage of wood and stone, marriage of gold and jade) is one of the three main lines of A Dream of Red Mansions. Jia Baoyu's image has the color of Cao Xueqin's autobiography, but it is essentially an artistic fiction. It is a typical image created by the author consciously, which combines three virtues, good and evil. This is very innovative in the history of world literature.
