Dream of the Red Chamber: After Lin Daiyu's death, will Jia Yuanchun send someone home to pay tribute?

There are many unsolved mysteries in "Dream of the Red Chamber", among which Lin Daiyu's death, whether Jia Yuanchun will send someone to pay tribute is one of them.

Lin Daiyu has a special status, after her death, relatives and friends will come to pay tribute to express their sorrow for the deceased and their condolences to the living; everyone in Jia Fu will appear and borrow Daiyu's spiritual hall to cry their own trepidation.

So, will Jia Yuanchun, who is in the harem, send someone home to pay tribute?

The answer is yes! There are at least two reasons:

The first reason: After Lin Daiyu's death, Jia Yuanchun sent people home to pay tribute.

Whenever things are done, people tend to do things according to existing practices or previous practices.

After the death of an important person in Jia Province, the palace usually sent people to it.

The most obvious details appear in the story after Qin Keqing's death. The original text reads as follows:

On the fourth day of the first seven days, the Daming Palace was already in charge of the palace's ministerial power, and first prepared a sacrifice ceremony to send people to come, and then sat in a large car, beat an umbrella and a gong, and invited to the sacrifice. (Dream of the Red Chamber, the thirteenth time)

In the feudal dynasty, eunuchs would not go out without permission; if they went in and out because of personal relations, they would not play umbrellas and gongs and sit in a large car, and behind Dai Quan's high-profile appearance, he must be allowed or instructed by the royal family.

After Jia Jing's death, the palace did not send anyone to Jia Province.

However, this behavior of not sending people indirectly proves that after Lin Daiyu's death, Jia Yuanchun will send people home to pay tribute.

Jia Jing, as the "helmsman" of Ning Guofu, did not love mortal dust, and was bent on cultivating into an immortal, and eventually took dan medicine by mistake and died.

The news of the death spread, and the Rebbe considered the current Long Dun filial brother, so he had this request.

The Emperor issued a decree allowing people below the princely level to pay homage to jia fu. On the fourth day of the first month, when the coffin entered the city, the funeral ceremony Kun Yao, the guests were like clouds, from the Iron Sill Temple to the Ningguo Mansion, and tens of thousands of people were seen on the road.

Why did the emperor order the people who would enter jia province to pay homage?

Because at this time, an old lady in the palace had just died, during the sacrifice, people with heads and faces had to enter the palace to accompany the sacrifice, and there was no time to send people to participate.

Therefore, from the situation that the eunuch Dai Quan went to the door to pay homage to Qin Keqing's deceased spirit and the emperor ordered people to participate in Jia Jing's funeral, it is speculated that after Lin Daiyu's death, Jia Yuanchun must have sent someone home to pay tribute.

The second reason: After Lin Daiyu's death, Jia Yuanchun sent people home to pay tribute to maintain the prestige of the family

As a virtuous concubine, Jia Yuanchun is not only the hope of the Jia family, but also the hope of the four major families, and the hope of the interest groups behind the four major families.

The raid on the Zhen family in Jiangnan implies that the Jia family is also in danger, and if Jia Yuanchun wants to help the Jia family stabilize the situation, he needs to show his ability and status on important occasions and in a specific period to boost the confidence of all parties.

Lin Daiyu's parents died, and she lived in Rongguo Mansion for a long time, and the family regarded her as her own girl, and relatives and friends also regarded her as a member of the Jia family.

After Lin Daiyu's death, the Jia family is responsible for the aftermath, and stakeholders or asylum recipients will definitely take this opportunity to visit the Jia family to understand the situation of the Jia family and spy on the wishes of others.

At this special time, Jia Yuanchun used to send people home to pay tribute to Lin Daiyu, declare his existence, and highlight the prestige of the Jia family, which was feasible and effective.

Ending: Jia Yuanchun's approach brought dissatisfaction to the emperor.

There are pros and cons to everything.

Jia Yuanchun's approach, while bringing benefits to the Jia family, left a huge hidden danger and became the beginning of her anger.

As we all know, the timing of doing things is different, the situation is different, and the consequences are completely different.

At this time, the Jia family is no longer suitable for publicity, and the Raid of the Zhen family in Jiangnan is a signal.

The Zhen family in Jiangnan took over the family four times, but at this time they were escorted to Beijing to be punished.

For the Jia family, this is actually a warning.

Because the Jia family and the Zhen family are a large family that has been friends for generations and have close exchanges with each other, the Jia family should do things in a low-key manner at this time.

Jia Yuanchun's move, the method is correct, but the timing is not right, the result is naturally not good.

In addition, more importantly: different identities, different backgrounds, and different family origins determine a person's previous affairs and also determine a person's posthumous affairs.

Lin Daiyu's identity is special, Jia Yuanchun province kissed that night, changed "red fragrant green jade" to "Yi red fast green", omitted the name of "fragrant jade", in fact, secretly pointed out lin Daiyu's identity.

Lin Daiyu, whose original name was Li Xiangyu, was originally the granddaughter of Li Xu, a weaver in Suzhou, and her father was Li Ding, who was the brother of Cao Xueqin's grandmother. After the death of Li Ding and his wife, Li Xu was dismissed from his post and raided his home because he was implicated in a court struggle, and died of illness shortly after. Therefore, Lin Daiyu is the daughter of a sinner.

Because of this heavy identity, Lin Daiyu could not marry Baoyu; similarly, because of this heavy identity, after Lin Daiyu died, Jia Yuanchun should not send someone home to pay tribute.

Conclusions and enlightenment: In life, individuals are in different positions, cognitive dimensions are different, and their perception of people and things is also different.

In Jia Yuanchun's vision, she pays attention to family affairs and the prestige of the four major families.

In the emperor's vision, the focus was on the entire imperial court, the supreme authority.

Different patterns and different cognitions eventually led to the emperor's dissatisfaction with Jia Yuanchun's approach.

Of course, the emperor would not punish Jia Yuanchun for sending someone home to pay tribute to Jia Yuanchun. However, Jia Yuanchun's practice deeply planted a "thorn" in the emperor's heart, and after this "thorn" was planted, Jia Yuanchun gradually fell out of favor with the advent of the end of the world, and finally ushered in death, becoming a poor person who cried in Qianhong and was sad with Wan Yan.
