Why did Jia Baoyu in A Dream of Red Mansions finally choose to become a monk?

Why did Jia Baoyu in A Dream of Red Mansions finally choose to become a monk? According to Cao Xueqin's hints in the first eighty times, Baoyu's final outcome can only be "becoming a monk".

Baoyu's deviant personality, once left the protection of Jia family, is difficult to gain a foothold in society. After Daiyu died, Baoyu married Baochai, and the relationship between wood and stone was exhausted. After this series of changes, Baoyu chose to become a monk.

Baoyu's rebellious character makes it difficult for him to stand on the society. The description of Baoyu in Xijiang Yue, though somewhat playful, shows Baoyu's character from the side. He doesn't follow the usual path and doesn't like reading articles on professional economics, but he respects women and has an advanced understanding of the equality of all beings.

Looking for sadness and hatred for no reason sometimes seems crazy. Even if you are born with good skin, your stomach is rough.

Poor and ignorant, stupid and afraid of reading articles. It is a slander to the world to behave in a remote and perverse way!

Being rich does not know happiness, but being poor is miserable. There is no hope of living up to the good times at home and abroad.

The description of Baoyu in Xijiang Yue, though somewhat playful, shows Baoyu's character from the side. He doesn't follow the usual path and doesn't like reading articles on professional economics, but he respects women and has an advanced understanding of the equality of all beings.

Baoyu thinks that all daughters in the world are lovely and respectable, and others don't understand him. Grandmother Jia joked that she was a servant girl in her last life. Even Baoyu's heart is strict and he doesn't understand Baoyu's mind. He prayed that Baoyu would become a daughter in his next life.

Baochai often advised Baoyu to study and gain fame like an ordinary scholar. Baoyu disagreed. Let's see. What did Baoyu say?

"A clean white daughter, also learn to catch a reputation, became a thief and ghost. This is always causing trouble for no reason, clear pronunciation and mellow voice, which is originally a foolish thing to guide future generations. I don't want to be unlucky. I also caught this wind in Qiongboudoir Embroidery Pavilion, which really bears the virtue of beauty in Zhong Ling!

Baoyu's rebellion is a rebellion against the feudal system. But he's just a boat. He's thrown into the river of society, helpless and without financial resources. Survival is a problem. He "destroyed monks and slandered Taoism", hated reading four books and five classics, despised "economic knowledge", sympathized with the weak, and agreed that "if things are unfair, there will be news". Once such a traitor leaves the Jia family's protection, where can there be a foothold in society?

Baoyu's early meditation was the foreshadowing of his later becoming a monk. According to Cao Xueqin's description, Baoyu believes in Buddhism very much. There is no empty pen in the red chamber, and the pen and ink are all beautiful. For example, on Baochai's birthday, Grandmother Jia personally arranged and invited a troupe to sing. Baochai is very clever and specializes in receiving plays that the old lady likes to listen to. Among them, there is a song "Lu Shenzhi's Wutai Mountain", which is good in singing and lyrics. Baoyu likes it very much. Baochai explained these operas in detail.

Tears of heroes, leaving Chu Shi's home. 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!

Looking at this drama again seems unintentional, but in fact it is very meaningful. Baoyu likes this kind of drama "coming and going naked" very much, and thinks that traveling around the world without worrying about the world is a kind of liberation and a desirable life.

Baoyu was very sad because he didn't want to please both sides by mediating the misunderstanding between Daiyu and Xiangyun. Lost, when he thought of the lyrics, he suddenly had a brainwave and wrote a poem: You testify against me, and your heart proves your meaning. No evidence, but no evidence. There is no cloud proof, it is based on the situation.

Baoyu had a deep understanding of Buddhism at this time. Baochai was so surprised when she saw what Baoyu had written that she even said that she had realized it. Tear up this poem quickly, because she is afraid of becoming a monk with Baoyu's understanding.

Baoyu once told Daiyu twice that if you die, I will become a monk. This seems to be a joke, but it is actually a hint from Cao Xueqin to readers, suggesting the end of Baoyu, fulfilling his original promise and becoming a monk.

Baoyu's choice to become a monk is his deep awakening. Zi Juan tested Baoyu's sincerity and lied that Sister Lin was going back to her hometown in Suzhou. She believed it, and Baoyu was anxious and unconscious, which frightened everyone. Later, Baoyu said to Zijuan, don't worry about it anymore. I only tell you one thing: alive, we live together, not alive, we turn to ashes, how about that?

You see, in Baoyu's heart, Daiyu was the only one from beginning to end. According to Cao Xueqin's original intention, Jia Mu, a supporter of Baoyu and Daiyu, died of illness, and their situation was even more difficult. The death of Daiyu, as written in the funeral song, "the wind and sword are hard to force", is directly related to the environment. Before the wood-stone alliance, the front edge of the crimson pearl fairy grass was gone.

According to the arrangement of Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, Baoyu reluctantly married Baochai. Baoyu respects Baochai, but has no real feelings for her. Even after marriage, it is "I will never forget the lonely forest in the world." Then, Xifeng divorced and found the lost psychic Baoyu while sweeping snow in winter. The Jia family's life became more and more difficult, and they had to start to dismiss the maids. Xiren was one of them. Before leaving, xiren said that at least she kept the musk moon. So the last girl who accompanied Baochai was Musk Moon.

Then, Jia Fu suffered more accidents. After Jia Fu was robbed, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Baoyu and Wang Xifeng were all arrested and imprisoned, and Xifeng died in the rain. Qiaojie was sold to Guazhou by a "cruel uncle and traitor" and became a prostitute. Thanks to grandma Liu's rescue, she was able to escape, and finally married, spinning in the country, and once became a princess, living the life of a poor farmer.

In order to save Baoyu, Miaoyu went south to bury the body, and then Baoyu and Xiangyun were rescued. After being released from prison, Baochai had passed away at this time, and Baoyu and Xiangyun were "bitter in winter and broken in snowy nights" and their lives were difficult. Baoyu, who sees through the world of mortals, has no nostalgia, and is determined to break with the dark secular society and become a monk.

The psychic Baoyu that Baoyu wore with him turned out to be a stubborn stone left by Nu Wa. This contains profound meaning. Baoyu is irreparable in feudal society. The building of feudal society will collapse, and Baoyu's choice to leave is an inevitable choice.
