Notes on the Red Chamber

Grandmother Jia is going to celebrate Baochai's birthday, and Xifeng and Jia Lian are superior to Lin Daiyu in discussing it.

Xifeng said that the old lady's favorite senior official looked like a person, Baochai smiled without saying a word, Baoyu dared not speak, and Xiangyun said that she looked like Daiyu. Xiangyun, Daiyu and Baoyu are in conflict over this matter. Baoyu thinks they have not compromised on entertainment. What do they want in the future? Aroma advised Baoyu to be "easy-going", and Baoyu said that he was "coming and going naked and careless". The pen took up a handful, and I filled in a copy of parasitic grass, complacent. Baochai said that she was the chief culprit of Baoyu's madness.

Princess Yuan sent a lantern fan to guess, but Baochai guessed right, but pretended it was difficult to guess. Grandmother Jia was happy and ordered people to do riddles. Jia said "litchi" (leaving the branch) for Jia Zheng to guess. Jia Zheng saw the ominous mystery of the two sisters, and he was sad.

In this round, "Listening to Qu Wenbao and Wu Yu Zen Machine" is an important chapter in A Dream of Red Mansions, which embodies Baochai's personality, talent and relationship.

First, personality:

1 Jia Baoyu: I can't do everything. Baoyu is very attentive to girls. Although he likes Daiyu best, he still wants to sell well on every girl. It's a pity that sisters have their own tempers, and Baoyu cares about one thing and loses another, which is difficult to be comprehensive.

2. Lin Daiyu: Sensitive and suspicious. Xiangyun said she looked like a little actress. She is unhappy and thinks that everyone makes fun of him. Baoyu hinted that Xiangyun should not say anything, but Daiyu was still unhappy, thinking that Baoyu looked down on Xiangyun, as if Xiangyun could not stand a joke. Anyway, no matter what Baoyu does, Daiyu is unhappy.

3. Xue Baochai: Good at casting people's favor. The lady dowager proposed to celebrate Baochai's birthday, which valued Baochai's stability and understanding. Baochai is also very accommodating. Jia asked her to book a play, but she couldn't get rid of it again and again. After knowing that Jia likes to be lively, she ordered two particularly lively plays, Liu Erdang's clothes and the gate, and Jia was naturally very happy. Apart from anything else, Xue Baochai's personality characteristics, as well as being human, are also very popular in interpersonal communication in modern society.

However, at this time, I have to mention a woman with a distinct personality:

Xiangyun: Frankly speaking. Xifeng said that the little player looked like a person, and everyone thought he looked like Daiyu, but she didn't say anything. Only Xiangyun opened her mouth and said it, causing a small stir. Baoyu hinted that she should not say anything, and Xiangyun was even more ungrateful. She can say whatever she likes, and she is straightforward and unscrupulous. It is hard to imagine a woman whose parents died when she was a child. In such a society, the dust of the years did not annihilate her naive nature, but she still maintained this naive and simple character, which attracted readers at once.

Secondly, in the process of sending love into Zen, Baodai's attitude towards Baoyu's talk about Zen is obviously different, and the relationship between the three people is clearly seen.

1. Look at Baoyu's motivation to talk about Zen;

When Daiyu saw it, she knew it was Baoyu's anger. She didn't find it interesting, so she said to xiren, "it's a gadget, and it doesn't matter." Then go back to your room when you are portable.

Baochai read it and smiled, "This man has come to his senses. It's all my fault. It's all caused by a piece of music I played yesterday. These Taoist Zen machines are the most flexible. Tomorrow, I will seriously say these crazy words, and I have saved this meaning, all from my songs, and I have become the culprit. " As he spoke, he tore it to pieces.

Obviously, Daiyu had a more thorough understanding of the essence of Baoyu's meditation and knew the cause and effect of Baoyu's meditation. It is because of the understanding of Baoyu by Daiyu, a childhood friend in two of a kind. Baochai's joke is obviously ignorant of Baoyu's meditation.

2. Attitude towards Baoyu's meditation:

Daiyu sympathized with Baoyu's meditation. Before that, they also had Baodi discussing the details of Zen in 19. However, Baochai, who is influenced by traditional education, is xenophobic and thinks that these can be more mobile.

3, due to different understanding and attitudes, the handling of songs and poems is also different.

Daiyu and Xiangyun went back to their rooms to watch. I watched it with Baochai the next day. Let's ask Baoyu, let me ask you: the most expensive thing is' treasure', and the most secure thing is' jade'. What's your price? What are your strengths? Trying to take Baoyu out of the Zen realm, he found that Baoyu couldn't answer, so he said, "Your going to the cloud,' no cloud evidence, based on the environment', is good, but in my opinion, it is not perfect. I will continue two more sentences. " Baoyu still didn't answer. Daiyu said, "Stop talking about Zen." She wants to pull Baoyu out of Zen.

Baochai tore it into pieces and handed it to the maids and said, "It's going to burn." While advising Baoyu not to participate in meditation, she seems to dissuade him, but in fact she lacks action. Baoyu didn't say anything, saying, "It's just that we haven't finished all this. Can't you let go? " She just thinks of herself as a bystander.

On the other hand, on this trip, Baoyu participated in Zen because of emotion, and there was "parasitic grass" in his words. From Baochai's mouth, he read: "Tears of heroes leave Chu Shi's house. Thank mercy for shaving under the lotus stage. No edge method can be separated instantly. Naked people come and go and don't care. Where can I ask for a roll of cigarettes and an umbrella? Any one of my shoes is broken! Hearing this, Baoyu clapped his hands and cheered, drawing a circle and being greatly praised. It can be seen that this Zen is very recognized by Baoyu, which also shows that Baoyu has a certain understanding of life. What torments Baoyu's affectionate soul is the emotional tragedy in real life. His love and fraternity have brought him endless troubles, anxiety and powerlessness. Perhaps this Zen mirror can get rid of suffering and finally choose to become a monk.

This comment seems to be idle, but in fact it contains profound meaning, which is actually a foreshadowing for Baoyu to become a monk.
