Analysis of Xue Baochai's Character Image

Xue Baochai's family was superior, and her Xue family was one of the four big families at that time. "Heavy snow in good years, pearls as gold as iron" is a poem used by Cao Xueqin to describe the Xue family, which makes people know its wealth at a glance.

It stands to reason that Xue Baochai should be a lady who lives a leisurely life without any troubles. And Xue Baochai is a woman who dresses simply and doesn't pay attention to wealth and leisure makeup. She doesn't like extravagance and waste, and she never smokes incense on her clothes. Born rich, but not addicted to wealth, exudes a different personality charm.

Extended information Peony is known as the "national beauty and fragrance", which is graceful and full of vitality when it is in full bloom, and is also known as the "flower king". Comparing Baochai to a peony is a great compliment to Baochai. Yan Guan Fang Qun is Cao Xueqin's highest evaluation of his daughter Baochai in the Grand View Garden. She is superior to other daughters in appearance, character and thought.

In the Grand View Garden, almost only Baochai is dull every day. He said: "I am most afraid of fragrance, good clothes and smoke." He commented that "Miss Baochai never loved these flowers and pink flowers." For Baochai's simplicity, Zhi Yanzhai can't help but admire "it's really a curse."
