Is the Cao family mapped by Jia Fu in A Dream of Red Mansions? Who is Fu Peng?

A Dream of Red Mansions is a classic work that reflects the concept of family in feudal society, the social outlook under the whole feudal rule and the sufferings of the people. Cao Xueqin, the author, not only mentioned his own family, Cao Shi, but also mentioned some families associated with Cao Shi, and family was one of them. Fu Peng is one of the iron hat kings, and also has something to do with the Cao family. The Jia family described in A Dream of Red Mansions has many images of Fu Peng's family.

Nowadays, many people think that the prototype of the Cao Shi family is actually more inclined to the family, which can be seen from the comparison of the status and experience between the two families and the Jia family. First of all, in A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Fu was set up to block the family business that was taken away by him, that is to say, his ancestors should be military commanders and Manchu. Cao Jiazu, a Han Chinese, was promoted because he was appreciated after being captured. Fu Peng was born in a prominent family and a descendant of Daishan, and his position was honored as the king of iron hats. At this point, the Fu Peng family is indeed more appropriate.

Cao Jiahe Fu Peng's family is a marriage relationship. Fu Peng's mother Cao Jiashi is Cao Yin's daughter and Cao Yin is Cao Xueqin's grandfather. Although Cao Jia was a Han Chinese, he was also highly valued by the emperor. Thanks to the emperor's instructions, Cao Jiashi was able to marry into the Fu Peng family. At first, there was no intermarriage between Manchu and Han. This shows that the emperor loved the Cao family at that time. But in the Qing Dynasty, the Han people could never really become aristocrats, so there was still a clear gap between the Chiang family in Cao Jiahe.

Fu Peng himself inherited the status of the Iron Hat King, and he was also an excellent general, which won the appreciation of Qianlong. Growing up with emperor Qianlong, I have deep feelings. After Qianlong ascended the throne, Fu Peng was also reused. However, at that time, in order to avoid suspicion, Qianlong did not let Fu Peng enter the real central organization. Nevertheless, the relationship between Gan Long and Fu Peng has always been very good. He often asks Fu Peng to play chess and write poems privately. Fu Peng also prefaced the emperor's poems, which can be said to be like brothers.
