The alliance between wood and stone: Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu

Introduction to the protagonist:

First, Jia Baoyu

Jia Baoyu, the hero, is a strange and vulgar figure. The main feature of his character is rebellion. His behavior is "remote and perverse" and he is a rebel in feudal society. He despises fame and fortune and is unwilling to take the official career of "learning to be excellent and becoming an official". He hates stereotyped writing, insults the "traitors" who study and are officials, and is too lazy to meet them.

He doesn't like so-called "serious books", but prefers "miscellaneous books" and loves Peony Pavilion and The West Chamber. He also boldly questioned Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism, thinking that "there are too many fabrications except the Four Books", which fully shows that he is the "rebellious son and two ministers" of the feudal monarchy.

He believes that "the beauty of mountains, rivers, the sun and the moon is only for daughters, and men with beards are just scum." Under the guidance of this shocking thought, Baoyu "wandered around at home" all day long, cherishing girls, their beauty, purity, exuberance and intelligence, their unfortunate experiences, their marriage to smelly men and the loss of their holy beauty. Jia Baoyu said that women were pearls before marriage, but after marriage, they lost their light and became dead pearls. If she is old, she will walk with a dirty man and become a dead fish eye. He even felt irreparable regret for having a man.

In his life, the most important thing is undoubtedly his love with Lin Daiyu. This love, on the one hand, began with rebellious character, on the other hand, it promoted the final formation of his rebellious character. This is the biggest and most important treason in his life history. In love, Bao and Dai both demanded the autonomy of marriage and deviated from the lifestyle of feudal society. They went further and further on the road of rebellion, which eventually led to their tragic ending.

Second, Lin Daiyu

Lin Daiyu is a talented and aloof woman. "It's a pity to stop, but it's a pity to praise." The jade belt hangs down the forest, and the golden hairpin buries the snow. Jade belt hanging in the forest "is her portrayal. She lost her parents when she was a child and lived in a mansion in Guo Rong. Although the grandmother loves her, she is often sad because of her lofty personality and self-esteem.

She is sentimental and often tears for small things that others don't pay attention to. The scene of "Daiyu burying flowers" described in the novel highlights this point. Flowers bloom and fall, which is a natural scene, but she thinks of vicissitudes and impermanence of gathering and dispersing. She sighed for the fallen flowers. She took Baoyu as her confidant, watched The West Chamber together, and pinned all her hopes for life on Baoyu. She loves Baoyu deeply, but she can't get what she wants. So, because she tried to fight for her position but failed many times, she felt sorry for herself and sobbed where no one was there.

Her inner world seems elusive, but it is often exposed. If Baoyu "offended" her, she would be angry, shed tears and even get sick for him. On the surface, in fact, I still miss him very much and find an excuse to see him. When Baoyu was ill, she was very sad and cried for it. However, due to the shackles of feudal ethics, she could not express herself or help herself. In the end, she died of depression on the day Baochai got married and failed to do so.

Third, Wang Fengjie

There is another unusual person in Fu Rong, and she is Wang Xifeng. Everyone knows Wang Xifeng's malice. As the "general manager" of Fu Rong, she plays politics. She killed Jia Rui with a poisonous trick and plotted to force Second Sister You to death. She was mean by nature and finally killed the whole family. Her character is fierce, and I don't forget to point this out everywhere in my article, just like when she had a big fight with that whore on her birthday and asked the old lady for help, which was enough to see. But after all, she is very capable and smart. She has the final say in all the affairs of Rongfu, and she is good at catering to it, which won the favor of the old lady. And envy it.

Fourth, tanchun

Jia Tanchun, Jia Zheng's daughter, is not as delicate and pitiful as Daiyu, clever and clever as Baochai, and lively and cheerful as Xiangyun, but she has Zhuo Chao's talent, extraordinary wisdom, profound knowledge and far-sighted vision, all of which have been vividly displayed in the 56th chapter "Being sensitive to spring to promote advantages and eliminate disadvantages, and being virtuous and Baochai to show small profits".

Wang Xifeng was bedridden due to illness, so Tan Chun, Baochai, Li Zhi and others took charge of the housework. During this period, Tan Chun looked at the accounts at home and found that the money allocated to each room overlapped with the money allocated to the comprador, so he came up with a way to kill two birds with one stone and discussed it with Baochai and others. "I went to Lai everyone in that year and chatted with the girls there, only to know that the fish and shrimp they ate were packed for one year, and there were 200 at the end of the year." It has long been a disadvantage for the Jia family to pay monthly money, and no one in the garden can point it out. Tanchun was inspired by Lai's family and finally put forward a good solution according to his own situation. Isn't it enough to see her ability and ability to handle affairs? In the present words, it is to analyze the quality of comprehensive problem solving. Who blames Baochai for saying, "Well said! Although you are a daughter, you don't know these things. " Baochai said with a smile, "You've only been working for two days, and you're insatiable, and you're betting on Zhu. Going out again to see such advantages and disadvantages, even Confucius is becoming more and more vain. " Tan Chun listened, but solemnly replied, "You are an ordinary person, but you haven't seen Ji Zishu. On the same day, Ji Ziyun said: "Those who climb the land of wealth are not good at words and recite the way of Confucius and Mencius in the land of luck ..." Is it an ordinary daughter who can say such brilliant words? She must have a political vision!

In episode 56, Tanchun showed her talent in Zhuo Chao with her determination and skills, but Baochai's joking words led to her political remarks, which really left people with endless memories and were amazing!

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Xue Baochai

One of the twelve women in Jinling, the daughter of Aunt Xue. She is beautiful, with smooth muscles and bones and refined manners. On the surface, she seems to be a model of an orthodox lady at that time, but in fact she has a cynical personality factor in her bones and a strong critical spirit to the society at that time. For example, in the thirty-eighth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, she wrote Ode to a Crab, which made a sharp satire on Jia Yucun and other lawless officialdom figures. And her own favorite lyrics, in fact, is also a richest man with loneliness, anger and rebellion. Parasitic grass! Because of being misled by Cheng Gaoben, the understanding of Xue Baochai's thought and character in the red chamber has long deviated from reality. For example, the traditional view is that Xue Baochai is "smart, can win the hearts of the people and is praised by the Jia family." "But the fact is that under Cao Xueqin's pen, Baochai offended her parents just because of her personality! For example, in the twenty-second novel, Baochai once wrote a poem "More Fragrant Mystery", which made Jia Zheng disappointed and thought that it was "a villain who made this expression, which made him feel even more ominous, and none of them lived forever". On the 40th trip, when Grandmother Jia visited the Grand View Garden with Granny Liu, the interior furnishings of Baochai Garden were simple, which caused great dissatisfaction of Grandmother Jia, who thought it was a disgrace to her relatives. For Baochai, Grandmother Jia said "Stop it", "Stop it", "Don't be too detached" and "Our old lady is going to live in the stable more and more". -All negative comments. Later, at the "Rongguofu Lantern Festival Banquet", Grandmother Jia ordered her beloved Baoqin, Xiangyun, Daiyu and Baoyu to sit with her at the main table, only pushing Baochai out of the main table and sitting with Li Qi. Undoubtedly, these are all important signs that Baochai changed from "favored" to "out of favor" in front of Grandmother Jia. If Baochai is really "shrewd and can win people's hearts", why did she end up like this? It can be seen that in Cao Xueqin's original work, Baochai is just a person who disdains to play with any "talent" to please his parents! Coincidentally, Zhi Yanzhai's evaluation of Chai and Dai's poems is also: "I don't care, Dai Qing doesn't do it. "Really sympathize with the weak, but disdain the powerful, this is the tone of Baochai's behavior.

The other view is equally wrong. In other words, Baochai is "keen on official career economy" and will only "talk about official career economy". On the contrary, Baochai, like Baoyu, hated the officialdom at that time and the officialdom figures represented by Jia Yucun! Baochai advised Baoyu to study and be an official, just hoping that Baoyu could take power and destroy those "deer" As she said in "crab fu", "chrysanthemum is also used for wine, and ginger is needed for cold storage." Because of Baochai's outspoken advice to Baoyu, her words once caused Baoyu's misunderstanding and thought it was so-called "bullshit." But misunderstanding is misunderstanding after all. Later, when Baoyu read Baochai's Crab Fu, he couldn't help applauding Baochai's cynicism and shouting "Happy Writing"! For this kind of situation in the book, Cao Xueqin's former confidant and close friend, Zhi Yanzhai, is even more ignorant. He (she) has long pointed out that in the choice of these outlook on life and values, "Chai and Yu are closer than anyone else in appearance, and ... they are far away and close. As close as Baoyu, as far as Baoyu. " "Chai and Yu are far apart and close to COSCO. They are two important stocks and cannot be taken lightly." ! Therefore, Baoyu and Daiyu seem to have the same interests, but in fact their ideological positions are diametrically opposite; Baoyu and Baochai seem to have different ideals and interests, but in fact their choices are the same! -all based on the extreme dislike of the society at that time!

Therefore, the author arranged a "golden wedding" for Baoyu and Baochai with the help of his incarnations-lame monks and Taoist priests. The purpose of this marriage is to use Baochai's "knowledge" in Laozi, Zhuangzi, Zen and other "born" philosophies to guide Baoyu to "realize Tao", and finally push him to become a monk, so that the stubborn stone addicted to the world of mortals can return to the barren hills as soon as possible. In fact, in Cao Xueqin's original work, Baoyu's first "meditation" was the song "Mountain Gate" recommended by Baochai. Parasitic grass. " This is called "listening to Qu Wenbao and realizing Zen". After commenting on the last thirty drafts, Baoyu finally became a monk under the guidance of Baochai. Baochai sacrificed the happiness of the world and paid the price of being lonely for half a life. But she didn't complain, because it was her life's mission to help her relatives get rid of mental pain. This is what the fat criticism implies: "You know the joys and sorrows through the cold, and you can feel at ease even if you leave, so it is called Lengxiang Pill. It is also said that incense can be cold, and everything in the world cannot be cold. "
