The love story of marrying overseas ended well, so why was it still listed in the Bad Life Division?

Jia Jiayuan has the most outstanding ability to explore and cherish the four springs. Zhi Yanzhai once commented on Jia Tanchun's kite riddle, Gengchen, written in two lines: This is a prophecy of Tanchun's far-reaching prosperity. If this person does not go far away, if things fail in the future, all his descendants will not be scattered. What a tragedy!

"Far-away" refers to marrying far away. When the Jia family ransacked their homes, if Jia Tanchun had not married far away, he would have united all the Jia family members to overcome the difficulties and avoid "the trees falling and the hozens scattering".

Zhi Yanzhai's commentary compares Tanchun to an existence like Jia's mother, and thinks her ability to lead the Jia family is extremely high. When Tan Chun was not as respected as Jia Mu in terms of status and respect, if Tan Chun could do this, it must be supported by his strong personal ability.

Jia Tanchun's kite riddle, Jinling's twelve hairpins, and the song "Dividing Flesh and Bones" all reflect her prophecy of marrying far away. In particular, the words "dividing flesh and blood" prove that the place where she married is too far away and she cannot return to it in this life.

When a woman in ancient times got married, there was a saying that "a married daughter throws water out of the water." Once married, she belonged to her husband's family, and she should be treated as second-class.

After a woman gets married, the most fortunate thing is that she lives close to her and can "go home often." It is basically a luxury for women who are married far away to return to their natal families.

So, if Jia Min is married to Lin Ruhai and lives in Suzhou and Yangzhou, she cannot return to her natal family in the capital. Jia's mother never saw her daughter until her death, and Lin Daiyu never went to her grandmother's house until she was seven or eight years old.

After Li Wan married into the Jia family from Jinling, she could not return to her parents' home. It was inconvenient for her parents to visit, so Aunt Li often took the opportunity to visit Li Wan when she went to Beijing.

The same is true for Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng. Fortunately, they each have brothers in the capital.

In that era, married daughters were considered unlucky if they were alone in a foreign land. Once you get married and go home to visit relatives, it depends on your husband's family's attitude. Marrying away and returning home is just a dream. Especially for those in high positions, things like Jia Yuanchun's marriage visit did not exist in history and were invented by Cao Xueqin.

Jia Tanchun married into a foreign country and became a princess, and his desire to have relatives involves diplomacy between countries. In that era when traffic, information and social interaction were inconvenient, there was no possibility.

[Dividing flesh and blood] said, "Tell your parents, don't worry about your son. Since ancient times, poverty and communication have all been determined. How can separation and reunion be missed? From now on, we are divided into two places, each keeping safe. If you go as a slave, don't get involved." "? Once you go, you can't come back. You have to accept the reality, so "sue your parents... don't get involved."

The reason why Jia Tanchun suffered a bad fate was because of his status as a commoner and the helplessness of marrying in a foreign country. It is not that the ending must be tragic. On the contrary, Tanchun's ending was very good.

As for the destination of Tanchun's distant marriage, I wrote an article before and analyzed that it was the "Zhenzhen Country", which is located on the coast of the West Sea, which is now Sri Lanka. It was called Ceylon in ancient times. ?

Cao Xueqin set two fates in "A Dream of Red Mansions".

A kind of "Lian Ming" headed by Lin Daiyu, Zhen Yinglian, and Qingwen are all pitiful;?

A kind of "Xingming" headed by Jia Tanchun, Li Wan, and Jiao Xing "Fate", it's all a fluke. ?

Jiao Xing was originally a girl. After being spotted by Jia Yucun, she regained her freedom and took her as his concubine. Soon after giving birth to a son, Yucun's legitimate wife died again, so Jiao Xing was raised up and became the imperial wife.

Jiao Xing’s experience is the best foreshadowing of Jia Tanchun’s ending after marrying far away. As for the consequences of Jia Tanchun's marriage, the furnishings in her room in Chapter 40 are the best allusion. (Chapter 40) There is a big cauldron on the case. On the red sandalwood shelf on the left is a large plate from Daguan kiln, which contains dozens of delicate yellow and exquisite large Buddha hands. There is a white jade chime hanging on the foreign paint shelf on the right, and a small hammer hangs next to it.

Every furnishing in Jia Tanchun’s room has an auspicious meaning. One, the big tripod. ?

The tripod is an important inheritance weapon of the country. The nine tripods cast by Dayu are the inheritance of China. The tripod represents the inheritance of imperial power.

There is a tripod in Jia Tanchun's room, which implies that after she became a princess, she gave birth to a son like Jiao Xing. The prince also inherited the throne when he grew up. Tanchun was "lucky" that her mother became the queen mother of a country because of her son. The status of the Queen Mother is certainly more noble than that of Jia Yuanchun's concubine.

Among the individual rooms in "A Dream of Red Mansions", only Tanchun's room depicts a tripod. Second, Daguan Kiln.

The word "Grand View" points out the origin of Grand View Garden. "Daguan" is the reign name of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Daguan kiln is the royal kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The "Daguan Kiln" plate in Tanchun's room is different from the furnishings in Qin Keqing's room, which allude to the Twelve Hairpins of Jinling, indicating her future status as a princess. Three, Buddha's hand.

The Buddha's hand is a mascot. It is used to support Buddhist rituals and represents merit and wealth.

Buddha's hand is a variant of citron, but citron has a bitter heart and no merit.

Jia Tanchun has a Buddha's hand, which represents her many merits. Able to give birth to a prince through an ordinary concubine to inherit the throne and become the queen mother.

Jia Yuanchun has no Buddha's hand but only citron, which proves that she has no merit. Although she was a virtuous concubine, she was ungrateful and unfavored. In the end, she was sentenced to death miserably, and she even talked about having children.

In addition, in the entire "Dream of Red Mansions", only Jia Tanchun has real Buddha hands. She gave Ban'er a Buddha's hand and gave it to Qiao Jie'er. Sister Qiao is lucky enough to [stay in Yuqing]. Obviously, the merit of the Buddha's hand is an allusion. Fourth, a white jade chime.

The chime is the sound of harmony; the eyes imply the love between husband and wife; the white jade represents status, moral character and nobility.

The white jade chime indicates that after Jia Tanchun married in a foreign country, she "planted red apricots against the clouds". Not only did her life reach its peak, but she also won the king's love for her. She also gave birth to a son to succeed her as king.

Jia Tanchun reached the pinnacle of his life in a foreign country, which is much better than Jia Yuanchun's noble concubine. ?But being a stranger in a foreign land, the loneliness of being far away from your homeland is indescribable. No matter how high Jia Tanchun's status is, he can't escape the bad fate.
