The love between Jia Qiang and Ling Guan in the dream of the Red Chamber is a most special existence, which is more profound and touching than the love between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. Because their feelings crossed the strictest class hierarchy of their time. If you really take a closer look at the situation of the two of them, you will find that their union is more difficult than the love of Prince and Cinderella, and it is almost impossible to actually be together.
Jia Qiang is the great-great-grandson of the Ningfu sect, a descendant of the Duke of Zheng'er Bajing, and a descendant of a famous family. And Ling Guan was the lowest-level drama of that era, subordinate to the ninth rank. I have heard a saying of the lower nine streams: one witch, two prostitutes, three gods, four bangs, five shaved heads, six blowing hands, seven plays, eight calling streets, and nine selling sugar. The nine professions mentioned here were the most despised in that era, and the drama to which Ling Guan belonged ranked seventh among the nine lowest professions, which shows how low the drama was at that time, even inferior to prostitutes.
In the thirtieth dream of the Red Mansion, Jia Baoyu saw Ling Guan drawing rose characters under the rose frame, and drew dozens of them in a row, this idiot girl was in tears, thinking of her sweetheart, unable to tell, and could only use this way to resolve her emotions.
While thinking, I looked again, and I saw that the girl was still drawing there, drawing and drawing, and it was still a "rose" character. Look again, it's still a "rose" character. The original inside has long been foolish, after painting one after another, there are already thousands of "roses".
At this time, Ling Guan has been deeply trapped in the vortex of love and cannot extricate herself, she has been writing this word, several times, dozens of times, hundreds and thousands of times, knowing that it is impossible, there is no result, and she wants to forget but can't forget. This kind of pain and torture she couldn't let go of but couldn't extricate herself, so there was a classic scene of painting roses under the rose frame.
At this point, many people may feel that the love between Jia Qiang and Ling Guan is very great, Ling Guan dares to love, and Jia Qiang does not care about the rank and humility and pays her heart. After all, in the first eighty times, Jia Qiang has always been like Jia Baoyu, carefully caring for Ling Guan, no matter how small and sentimental Ling Guan is, Jia Qiang guards her meticulously.
But this relationship is unlikely to last. After seeing the family of gold fans, the combination of Jin Yanxi and Leng Qingqiu can know that different people will not be together. Even if they are together, it is only a temporary novelty, like a blip. To really live together, the background of the growth of two people is too important.
Leng Qingqiu was very clear at the beginning: "We are different people, we can't be together, just like can lilies bloom on my family's vines." At this time, Jin Yanxi naively thought: "As long as there is love, two different people can also be together."
At this time, both of them are in love, and I believe that they are also true love, but the result? Is it certain to be together if there is true love? Even if they overcome all the obstacles and really get together, what will be the result? In the original work, Jin Yanxi never looked back after separating from Leng Qingqiu, and also attributed many faults to Leng Qingqiu. What a sad thing this is.
Is Jia Qiang and Ling Guan really together, can they escape this tragic ending? I think it is roughly the same as the ending of Jin Yanxi and Leng Qingqiu, even if the Jia family really loses, they can't be together, and even if they are really together, it is difficult to escape the tragic end of Playboy abandoning his infatuated daughter.
I've seen the stone notes of Lu Youben, and although it feels a bit ghostly, the ending is still very reasonable. Lu Youbenli said that after Jia Qiang lived with Ling Guan for a period of time, she gradually began to get tired of Ling Guan, couldn't stand the same sentimentality as Lin Daiyu, and began to feel that Ling Guan was pretentious, so she abandoned Ling Guan and entered the bandit category. Ling Guan hated Jia Rong for abandoning herself, so she asked Fang Guan, who also joined the bandits, to trick Jia Qiang out, and then whipped Jia Qiang with a branch with a branch with eleven other girls who were singing.
Although this plot is very ghostly and strange, it echoes the thirty middle-aged officials using branches to draw roses in the ground. When in love, use a branch to write the name of your sweetheart to express your love, and when you hate, the branch whips your sweetheart to express your hatred. Although the plot of Lu Youben is very controversial, I think that it is very realistic that Jia Qiang will abandon Ling Guan.
Don't say it's Jia Qiang, what about even Jia Baoyu, who has deep affection? With the ivory tower of love in the Grand View Garden, they can talk about love without worry, once there is no shelter, like ordinary people, return to the life of firewood, rice, oil and salt, how many days can they live? So in fact, the preservation of love is very costly, and the people who can really live together still have to be the same type of talent.
People like Jia Qiang and Ling Guan, who have a huge difference in status and status, even if the Jia family is not defeated, they cannot live together for a long time, and sooner or later Jia Qiang and Ling Guan will have a day when they "turn against each other for concubines and maids". After Jiafu's defeat, they are even less likely to be together. Ling Guan is a doppelganger of Daiyu, she is only suitable for falling in love, and the nature of Jia Qiang's children cannot always be so tolerant and accommodating to her.
To borrow a phrase from the gold fan family, "a cold place, the most afraid is to have the prosperity of the past to contrast." That's right, after the defeat of Jia Fu, for Jia Qiang and Ling Guan, the contrast between reality and the past was more cruel, and the test was not only the cruelty of human nature, but also the sadness of this emotion.
But what I want to say is that although this is a love tragedy and fits the routine of many playboys abandoning infatuated women, there is definitely love. It's just that different people can only keep love for a while, but they can't afford to pay a high price to keep this love fresh. Just as the golden swallow West Africa has to let the lilies bloom on the grape rack, the result is only brilliant for a while, and after a long time, the lilies will still wither from the grape rack.
