Sending Jia Yun away, Baoyu was lazy and crooked on the bed, listless, didn't know what to do, couldn't read a book, felt bored drinking tea, and was a little bored and had to sleep. Hazy, drowsy, sleepy, sleepy. In fact, not only Baoyu, but also the young men and women in the Grand View Garden are lazy, and there is a feeling of spring sleepiness. The attacker walked up and pushed him, why do you want to sleep again, you feel very stuffy, so you go out for a walk. The assailant said as he pulled him up. The attacker said that the more you are like this, the more annoyed you become. Where is Baoyu going? He's played everything he should have played, and there's nothing to be curious about. I thought that Jia Yun would be able to play with him and relieve his worries, but he was not satisfied. Attacking people, you are so delicate, and you are getting more and more annoyed. Wei Rui was originally used to describe the appearance of wilting plants, and was rarely used to describe people, but here it is to say that Baoyu is languishing.
Many people in the world envy Baoyu's life, just as people now envy the rich second generation. However, what is the joy of life? is to fulfill one's desires and pursuits. When a person thinks that money is everything, and he happens to have enough money, it is often the saddest time for him.
Baoyu shoe shook out of the door, played with the finches in the corridor, and watched the goldfish in Qinfangxi for a while. Still find it boring. Brother Gongzi's mood was still annoyed at this time, and he didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, I saw two deer running over on the hillside, and it turned out that Jia Lan was chasing them with a bow and arrow. As soon as Jia Lan saw Baoyu, he stopped. Speak respectfully to your uncle. Jia Lan said that Baoyu criticized him for being naughty. Baoyu blamed him for not shooting a deer and told him to be careful. In Baoyu's view, Jia Lan is playing naughty. Jia Lan smiled and said that he would not study at this time, and he would practice riding and shooting.
Mounted archery was a characteristic of the aristocratic families of the bannermen of the Qing Dynasty. Unlike ordinary people. The children of the Manchu nobles in the Qing Dynasty had to learn to ride horses and shoot arrows in addition to reading and writing. The Manchurian bannermen used to be a people on horseback. The Qing Dynasty stipulated that Prince Baylor and below could only be exempted from riding and archery practice if he was at least 16 years old. In addition to the Pope's study, the palace also taught riding and archery. The Manchus had only a few hundred thousand people when they entered the customs, and they were easily assimilated by the Han culture. In order to preserve the identity of their own people, they attached great importance to Manchu language and horse archery education. The ancestors of Jiafu, the Duke of Ningguo and Duke Rongguo, were both dukes by virtue of their military exploits, and they should practice riding and archery after the gate.
The nobility of the Qing Dynasty paid attention to both civil and military affairs. In the early days of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court had to arrange time to hunt every year, and "Dream of Red Mansions" was written in the background of the Yongzheng Qianlong Dynasty, so there was a fashion of martial arts. Baoyu is not only like an elder teaching a lesson, but also a little childlike.
The scene is a bit comical: a small kid with a bow in his hand chasing two fawns. The Jia family is a family of Wuyin and a family of soldiers. From elementary school, he studied martial arts, and grew up to serve the country. Practicing riding and archery after reading is beyond reproach. But Jia Baoyu was quite unimpressed: Jia Baoyu teased him: I won't act until I plant my teeth.
This family is not as good as the next generation. In the 75th time, Jia Jing died, and Jia Zhen couldn't engage in entertainment activities because of his mourning. It was extremely boring, so he used the practice of shooting as an excuse to invite the brothers of the family and wealthy relatives and friends to compare the shooting. As a result, it didn't take long for the comparison to evolve into gambling plus eating, drinking and having fun, openly fighting leaves and rolling dice, and gambling on the opening night.
The author may have another meaning when he writes about Jia Lan shooting deer. Baoyu's reproach to Jia Lan is actually unreasonable, Jia Fu's ancestor Shang Ning Rong was born in the army, and made a fortune by military exploits, Jia Lan's practice of riding and archery can be regarded as a pursuit of progress in both civil and military affairs. And Baoyu said that Jia Lan shouldn't shoot it, but Baoyu's words were not without care and love for his nephew.
Some people say that the author is using Jia Lan to shoot deer to practice riding and shooting, hinting at the ending of Jia Lan's fate: Jia Lan was killed as a general, and finally his fate returned to Huangquan. Not necessarily, in my opinion.
