According to Jia Baoyu in "Dream of the Red Chamber", the analysis is everywhere - Brother Bao is after all one of the most complex character images in the entire Red Chamber.
As soon as Jia Baoyu appeared, he put forward the deviant theory that "daughters are flesh and bones made of water, men are flesh and bones made of mud", in the feudal society under man-orientedism, he can give respect and love to girls, which is extremely rare, and even from this point of view, Jia Baoyu seems to be a temperamental person, and has always been interpreted as such!
The author does not dare to agree with this, Jia Baoyu's amorous nature is ruthless, if the kings can tear apart Baoyu's behavior patterns and look at its essence, then we know that what the author said is not false.
Does Jia Baoyu really respect girls? No, this is just a small branch of his worldly aversion to the world, don't you see that Jia Baoyu once had a high theory of "fish eyes":
A girl who is not married is a priceless jewel; when she is married, she somehow conjures up many bad problems, although it is a bead, it has no glorious treasure color, it is a dead pearl; when she is old, it becomes not a bead, but a fish eye. How can you make three things out of a clear person? - 59th
Have you ever wondered why Jia Baoyu would classify women into ranks: unmarried girls—married daughters-in-law—old mothers-in-law? In Baoyu's view, only an unmarried girl can be called a jewel, and the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law are all unsightly, why?
In addition to the appearance has changed with age, there is a more important reason: unmarried girls can maintain their own innocence and purity, do not have to be contaminated with worldly filth; and once married, they need to calculate for chai rice oil and salt every day, the eyes in their hearts are all money, and slowly they have entered the vulgar realm, so in Jia Baoyu's eyes, these daughters-in-law and mother-in-law are contaminated with "manhood", from the "jewel" of the year to the "fish eyes".
Therefore, it seems that Jia Baoyu respects girls, but this does not mean that Jia Baoyu has an advanced sense of equality, he is just implementing his own deviant principles, and incidentally carrying the behavior model of "respecting girls".
We can combine the specific plot in "Dream of the Red Chamber" and take Qingwen's death as an example to carry out a broken-up and kneading analysis to help the princes understand the character of Jia Baoyu more deeply.
"Dream of the Red Chamber" 77th time "Pretty Lady Hugging Qu Yu Wind Flow, Mei Youling Cut Love Back to Water Moon", Lady Wang listened to the rumors of her mother-in-law and forcibly threw Qingwen, who was seriously ill, out of the Grand View Garden, although Jia Baoyu was distressed about Qingwen, but in the end did not dare to go against her mother's wishes, only dared to secretly go to see Qingwen, and in the process of visiting Qingwen, Jia Baoyu had many inexplicable actions.
At that time, Jia Baoyu visited Qingwen, Qingwen was lying alone in the kang, half a day did not drink water, so he asked Jia Baoyu to pour a cup of tea for her, and looking at Qingwen holding a cup of inferior tea like drinking manna, the normal person's reaction should be sad and sympathetic, but Jia Baoyu thought so in his heart:
(Jia Baoyu) Fang Xie and Qingwen. Only to see that Qingwen was like getting nectar, and she poured it down in one breath. Bao Yu secretly said in his heart, "Usually such a good tea, she still has some unsatisfactory points." From this point of view today, we can see that the ancients said, 'Full of food, hungry and rotten'. And the road is 'rice full of porridge', which can be seen to be good. --77th
Through the following text, we know that Qingwen did not even last the next day, Jia Baoyu visited Qingwen, and Qingwen died of a miserable illness that night, which shows that At that time, Qingwen was dying, weak to what extent, and even did not have the strength to get up and pour a cup of tea.
But looking at such a poor Qingwen, Jia Baoyu's subconscious was still "cold-eyed bystander", he calmly looked at Qingwen's posture of drinking water, and rationally analyzed the ancient and modern truths hidden behind this behavior! This is not the end, Jia Baoyu has another classic move next:
Bao Yu took her (Qingwen's) hand, only to feel as thin as dry wood. With four silver bracelets on his wrist, Indra said, "And unload this, and put it on when you are ready." "As with her unloaded, tucked under the pillow. He also said, "Unfortunately, these two nails have easily grown two inches long." This illness is better, and the damage is better. --77th
Why did Jia Baoyu care so much about Qingwen's silver bracelets and nails? Because these four silver bracelets, two-inch nails as long as onion tubes, are beautiful things, in line with Jia Baoyu's aesthetic taste, Jia Baoyu has always only paid attention to beautiful things, which is a very terrible thinking logic.
Not only Qingwen, Jia Baoyu did the same to Jin Jun. The 32nd time in "Dream of the Red Chamber", because Jia Baoyu flirted with Jin Ju, Jin Ju also returned a few words with a hippie smile, just happened to be heard by Madame Wang, Dengshi slapped Jin Ju and threw him out, after which Jin Ju was not willing to be humiliated, and finally chose to jump into the well and commit suicide.
What did Jia Baoyu do after Jin Jun committed suicide? He rode to the outskirts with a small cigarette, one man and one horse, and found a nunnery with all the wells, and burned incense to pay tribute. Because in Jia Baoyu's subconscious, the memorial in front of the well is a very beautiful and elegant thing, quite meaningful.
More interesting is another detail, that is, Jia Baoyu repeatedly asked Qingwen if there were any last words left:
[Jia Baoyu] thought, while shedding tears, asked, "What do you say?" While no one was telling me. Qingwen whimpered, "What is there to say!" But a moment is a moment, a day is a day. I also know that the horizontal and vertical are not more than three or five days. --77th
Asking the last words is one of Jia Baoyu's behavior patterns, don't you see the 16th "Qin Whale Qing died huangquan road", before Qin Zhonglin's death, Jia Baoyu also asked him in this way:
Bao Yu hurriedly joined hands and said with tears: "If there is anything to say, leave two sentences." Qin Zhong said, "There is no other word." Before, you and I saw ourselves as superior to the world, but today I know that I am wrong. In the future, we should also aspire to make a name for ourselves, and take glory as our righteousness. After saying this, he sighed and passed away. - 16th
Did Jia Baoyu really want to hear his last words? No, he just subconsciously felt that the dying instruction was a very meaningful thing. As it is written in many novels: a pair of close friends who live and die, and there are last words before death - what a beautiful image!
And before Qin Zhong died, he advised Jia Baoyu to "aspire to a meritorious name and show glory as a thing", Jia Baoyu did not listen to a word, once Qin Zhong died, he mixed in the pile of daughters as usual, laughing and playing with the Yahuan every day, where is there a hint of listening to advice?
And the most chilling thing is Jia Baoyu's attitude towards Qingwen's death, the 78th time Qingwen died in "Dream of the Red Chamber", according to Xiao Yahuan's description, Qingwen suffered many sins before her death:
The little girl said, "Come back and say that Sister Qingwen came to scream with her neck straight all night, and when she got up early this morning, she closed her eyes and stopped her mouth, and the world didn't know anything, and she couldn't make a sound, only the part of the breath." Bao Yu said busily, "Who is the one who called the night?" The little girl said, "One night only call her mother." Bao Yu wiped his tears, "Who else is she calling?" The little girl said, "I haven't heard anyone else." Bao Yu said, "You are confused, I guess you didn't listen to the truth!" - 78th
Here Jia Baoyu's reaction once again verifies the author's above speculation: Qingwen suffered so much pain before she died, but the point that Jia Baoyu cares about is why Qingwen didn't call my name? Because in Jia Baoyu's heart, he was the most important person in Qingwen, and Qingwen's call before she died, if she had her own name, it should be more intentional.
In the end, a small girl next to me was clever and knew what Jia Baoyu wanted to hear, so she made up a story: Sister Qingwen took my hand and asked "Where is Baoyu", and told me that if there is one less flower god today, the Jade Emperor ordered Sister Qingwen to go to Sizhao...
This story seems to be coaxing children, but when Jia Baoyu heard that Qingwen had asked himself before he died, and heard that Qingwen had gone to heaven as a flower god, he immediately turned from sorrow to pleasure and talked about it:
When Bao Yu heard this, not only did he not think it strange, but he also went to sorrow and joy, but still pointed at Furong and smiled: "This flower must also be managed by such a person." I had expected that a person like her would have a career to do. - 78th
But where did Jia Baoyu know that when he was so imaginative, Qingwen had been pushed by his brother and sister-in-law to the suburban human field and burned into a pile of ashes, just to quickly get the buried money of a mere ten silver.
Therefore, Jia Baoyu seems to be sentimental, but in fact it is the most ruthless, with the foreshadowing of the first 80 times of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Jia Baoyu finally gave up on the cliff after the Jia family raided the home, and ruthlessly abandoned Baochao's wife and musk moon's wife, from this point of view, this is indeed in line with Jia Baoyu's behavior model.
