Psychic Treasure Jade? Passing on the national jade seal? Jia Baoyu, who was born as a nobleman, was in the Grand View Garden, and even if he was foolish and willful and naughty, he was still held in his hands and in his heart. According to Jia Mu's words, he is the treasure of the family. Coupled with the fact that he was born with the Psychic Treasure Jade, everyone said that he was the reincarnation of the immortals, which was simply a great auspicious sign for Jia Fu.
Even if he had such a good time in the Grand View Garden and caused trouble, there was no problem. According to Jia Mu's wishes, when he reaches the age of talking about marriage, he should grow up.
Some people say that his life has been full of ups and downs, and perhaps only every time he recalls the beauty of his childhood, can he summon up the courage to give the world a good expectation. In the early days, he was a luminous jade in warm water, enjoying the blessings of the world, and the more women were better off. What kind of environment gives birth to what kind of person, so it is inevitable that he will be a little feminine, even if it is a man made of mud, he will be indecisive.
But people must firmly remember that life is full of hardships and that things are always impermanent. The fate of the fate is ever-changing, and eventually the rich Jia Fu will inevitably decline. Yes, just like the old and new dynasties, the times are different, and it doesn't always favor that person.
Since he was a divine attendant, he also had to go through the tempering of the years. Yes, he is a small child in the eyes of others, and only after experiencing the tempering of the fire, Jia Baoyu, who has not grown up, will transform.
But why, in "Dream of the Red Chamber", people just always call him a nickname - Baoyu, never call him a big name, and I don't know what mystery is implied in this? Why does the author Cao Xueqin always write his nickname? What exactly is hidden in "Dream of the Red Chamber"? What exactly is Jia Baoyu's name? This has aroused a lot of speculation.
In the period when Rong Guofu was still rich, the story underwent two twists, which is also the main line of the plot. According to the development of the plot, the wayward Baoyu lost his psychic Baoyu and fell into madness, which is the first turn; for the crazy he lost his lover Lin Daiyu, and also fell into madness, which is the second turn.
After this, Rong Mansion began to decline, and he also received guidance from high-ranking people, as if he had opened his mind, began to study the scriptures, and after returning for a few years, he cultivated positive results, and even participated in the imperial examination that he hated, and won the meritorious name in the Golden Ruan Hall. So, how many storms has he experienced? Why did he fall to the bottom of the valley and be willing to turn back? It also has to do with his name.
Many people know that the people of Jia Fu call him Baoyu, and Baoyu is a treasure between heaven and earth, but his name has a Jia character, which makes people can't help but delve deeply and pursue its meaning. So, his nickname is so, the big name must be more absolute, but it is not mentioned in "Dream of the Red Chamber". Here, it is time to test the reader's eyesight.
Give the reader a hint and read the names of these three people together. Jia Fu's family, to Baoyu's generation, their names are next to the wang character: Jia Zhu, Jia Lian, Jia Huan, then Jia Baoyu's name must also have the wang character next to it. In the prince's house, the rich and noble can be seen from the name, giving full expectations.
First, Jia Ying
As a waiter of the gods, it is normal for the name to contain a ying! Plus Ying represents the brilliance of jade. And Jia Zi shows that Jia Baoyu is not a real jade, he is just a stone. But what kind of light does he emit? How to shine? It also requires people to use their brains.
Jia Baoyu harmonized with "false baoyu", he was supposed to be a god in the heavens, and finally entered the mortal world. The flesh of the mortal fetus can not let him shine the light of the past, as if Jia Mu has always called him a nickname - Baoyu, there is still a little expectation in his heartache, hoping that he has matured and become a good jade, but the good jade needs to be slowly carved.
In their eyes, he was a child who had not grown up, fooling around. Until Jia Mu died, he obtained a meritorious name, and "Dream of the Red Chamber" did not mention his name. If you say that the treasure jade in Jia Fu is a stubborn stone, it has no luster and needs to be polished. So why didn't he tell the world his name now, after experiencing hardships and tasting the hardships of the world?
It was a nostalgia, and he wanted to go back in time and be a mere teenager. Baoyu needs to be polished to shine, and the big name of Jia Ying is snubbed.
Second, Jia Jie
"On the throne of the pearls and the sun and the moon" This is the couplet that Rong Guofu pasted on the wall. The meaning has been made very clear, the people of Jia Fuzhong have deep expectations for the two brothers, hoping that the eldest brother Jia Zhu will become the sun in the sky, and Bao Yu is Jia Jie to become the moon in the sky. The sun refers to the king, the moon refers to the queen, and they cover the sky with their hands. Maybe the name was too big, Jia Zhu couldn't become the sun and left early.
Jia Mu still wants Jia Baoyu to become the moon, but Jia Jie, that is, Jia Baoyu is young and ignorant, does not like to read, it can be said that his achievements are very limited, and the moon on the day is estimated to become impossible. However, why didn't Jia Jie, that is, Jia Baoyu, leave early? It is estimated that it is an allusion to the fact that there is still a princess in the palace, and Jia Fu still has hope of survival.
Perhaps it was this couplet that became the fuse of Jia Fu's ruin. How could a king give gifts at will? Jia Zhu left early, perhaps to imply that Jia Fu was too ambitious. And Baoyu lives in a pile of women, how can it be perfect? The jade needs to go through the tumbling of the river to be smooth; perhaps Jia Mu is too spoiled for Jia Baoyu and does not give a decent wind and rain, so that he wastes his youth.
However, Jia Jie was indeed born extraordinary this month, or was admitted to the meritorious name, giving Jia Fu vitality and giving them new hope. Jia Jie, chance? It can also be understood as vitality, but it is false, and the glory of Jha Fu is no longer there. The moon did not come to fruition, and the name Jia Jie was also controversial.
Third, Jia Jue
As early as when Wang Mang usurped the throne, the officers and soldiers killed four or five hundred people of the Liu family. However, the Western Han Dynasty empress dowager Wang Zhengjun was angry, but in order to avoid the jade seal falling into wang Mang's hands, she broke the jade seal in a rage, and the jade seal was missing a horn from then on. Wang Mang summoned skilled craftsmen to inlay the jade seal with gold characters, and the gold inlaid national jade seal was thus derived.
So, what does this have to do with Jia Baoyu? Jia Jue, with a jade character in his name, and the head king of the ministry is only missing a little bit of the king, that is, a corner is missing. Later, Jia Baoyu married Xue Baochao, Xue Baochao, Jin Bao, that is, the Chuanguo Jade Seal was supplemented by the golden character, and Jia Baoyu also completely lost Lin Daiyu.
Although the side of the wang character represents the perfection of jade, jin yu liangyuan still defeats the wooden stone heart edge, proving that the king lacks a little is to lose his love. The character Jue represents the same heart of Ishikimoto, but it is a pity that there is no reason.
Some people also understand it this way: Jue, can be seen as two jades, although unique, but implied that "Dream of the Red Chamber" tells the story of two pieces of jade: Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. In the past life, Jia Baoyu has always provided Lin Daiyu with nutrition, and in this life, Lin Daiyu came to repay the favor, which is the good and the good reward!
Some people have dug out another saying: "Zhu Lian Jie" These four words must be understood by everyone. For several generations, there is no rich life, which can be seen from the names of the men in Jia Province: Jia Zhu, Jia Lian, Jia Jue, Jia Huan. We don't know whether the author deliberately named it or had another meaning, we don't know.
Fourth, how many mysteries are hidden in "Dream of the Red Chamber"?
First of all, the character modeling of the author Cao Xueqin is very perfect, which is a must. Various background descriptions, plot descriptions are very detailed and picture-like, really admirable, worthy of being one of the four masterpieces. Many scholars study it, love it, and then explore it. Yes, it's a cross-era classic. The ancients loved it, and modern people loved it!
The use of names to imply the life of a character is a common tactic used by authors. The author likes to use names to express a person's character, and future experiences and developments. For example, Zhen Shiyin, the harmonic pronunciation of "true things hidden", buries the story in his heart, makes himself a hermit, and forgets everything. That is to say, there are some in the book that "because I have experienced a dream, I will hide the real thing."
Therefore, Jia Baoyu's name must also have connotations. There are other Qin Keqing, the harmonic sounds "love can be poured", "love can be light". It can be seen that she was a favored woman in the early stages, but she did not clean herself. Also a so-called promiscuous person, she had inexplicable relationships with multiple men and finally committed suicide. It's over, and then it's lighter.
There are also Jia Yuanchun, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun, the words in their names can be understood as "should have sighed", writing regret and sad feelings. This is true of women, but what about men? Therefore, "plants and eunuchs" is by no means an empty whim.
Whether it is a literal name, a hint of tragedy, or a story of gold and jade seals, the word "Jue" has been pushed in front of the public. Jia Jue is estimated to be Jia Baoyu's name.
V. There is no need to over-interpret "Dream of the Red Chamber"
Many people learn from other people's models and forget about themselves. In fact, Cao Xueqin just happened to think of a few words, combined into a name by the way, and then continued to write, and did not think so much. Why do future generations have to understand it throughout the whole text? It's not good to see too thoroughly.
Since ancient times, it has been a hazy appearance is the most beautiful, because it is impossible to see through, it cannot be touched, and distance produces beauty. That is to say, some story writers write thoroughly that we understand thoroughly, but it is not good.
6. Jia Baoyu and Zhen Baoyu
Fake jade, originally stone, Lin Daiyu is originally a flower, stone with flowers and trees as if it has a home, this is the taste of lovers. So, Jia Baoyu can be said to be a tragedy, why did the author write it? It turned out that there was zhen baoyu, and he gave zhen baoyu all his good expectations, and Jia baoyu was just a shadow of zhen baoyu.
"Dream of the Red Chamber" has a tortuous plot and profound content, which makes people want to watch it again after watching it. How many literati want to read through, but Cao Xueqin has too many foreshadowings, so that people dare not speculate deeply. But he is also a person, fake or real, the original intention of the work is to give a few points of light when understanding the injustices of life.
7. Pay homage to the classics
Cao Xueqin is a great literary hero, and his "Dream of the Red Chamber" tells too many classic stories, which are endlessly evocative. But I think that people have limited energy, it is impossible to do everything, perfect, there is no need to care too much about the name of a plot character.
Respect Cao Xueqin's voice, understand more and understand what Cao Gong really wants to tell us, and really want us to understand and read. After all, Cao Gong had been working hard for decades, and it had only been completed after reading five times in ten years of additions and deletions. Tribute to Cao Gong, tribute to the classics!
