Is Jia Baoyu's feelings for Qin Keqing ethical in A Dream of Red Mansions?

Jia Baoyu's feelings for Qin Keqing are actually understandable.

Modern people think that there will be any ambiguous relationship between Jia Baoyu and Qin Keqing, but they all think too much. The reason may also be the fault of Jiao Dakou's sentence of "raising brother-in-law, raising brother-in-law".

Modern people's understanding of ancient Chinese has gradually forgotten. Seeing the word "brother-in-law" on the surface, I got in touch with Jia Baoyu, who is Qin Keqing's little uncle. So, I think there will be some shady relationship between Qin Keqing and Jia Baoyu.

Going back, Jia Baoyu heard the news of Qin Keqing's death at night, and his first reaction was "vomiting blood".

Some people think that if there is innocence between Jia Baoyu and Qin Keqing, what does Jia Baoyu mean by vomiting blood? This is a symptom that only occurs when you are extremely sad.

In fact, these are all caused by the differences in understanding between ancient and modern languages.

The "brother-in-law" in Jiao Dakou actually refers to the relationship between father-in-law and daughter-in-law. The relationship between father-in-law, daughter-in-law and younger son. The appellation of the ancients was: As the daughter-in-law of a sister-in-law, when addressing her husband's brother, in order to show courtesy and respect, she would be called "uncle" according to her son's seniority.

If the daughter-in-law marries her father-in-law, this "brother-in-law" becomes the younger generation of her sister-in-law. That's why there is such a joke as "raising a brother-in-law".

If you think that "foster brother-in-law" in Jiao Dakou refers to Qin Keqing and Jia Baoyu, you should confuse Qin Keqing with Jia Zheng. Excuse me, is this possible? Obviously not.

What's more, in terms of seniority, Qin Keqing is Jia Baoyu's niece. Therefore, there is nothing against human etiquette between Qin Keqing and Jia Baoyu.

Hearing the news of Qin Keqing's death, Jia Baoyu's first reaction was vomiting blood. This problem is not as simple as it seems.

The original work is written like this: Baoyu stayed alone because of Lin Daiyu's recent return and did not play with others. Every night, he falls asleep. Now I hear from my dream that Qin is dead, so I quickly turn over. I feel like I've been stabbed in the heart, and I can't bear to scream and bleed.

It can be seen that Jia Baoyu's vomiting blood was induced by the news of Qin Keqing's sudden death, but the reason was still on Dai Yu, because Lin Daiyu had recently returned, and Dai Yu was left alone.

This is what we often call "missing too much". After Daiyu left, Jia Baoyu, who was very playful, was very unhappy. This has become what we often call "qi stagnation", or depression syndrome.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the difference between Bao and Dai is the reason why Jia Baoyu is unhappy. The depression of Baoyu is the qi of the whole body.

This kind of depression is actually a big or small problem. If the time is not long, it may be vented by an accidental factor and disappear in an instant. After a long time, qi stagnation leads to blood stasis, but it is also the most difficult problem to regulate.

Qin Keqing in Jia Baoyu's eyes is the beauty of "both Daiyu's romance and Baochai's fullness". It is human nature that Jia Baoyu of Descendants has a favorable impression on Qin Keqing.

At first, I heard the news of Qin Keqing's death at a young age, and naturally I was reluctant to give up. But this reluctance has nothing to do with the love between men and women. It is more of a good feeling, and at most it is a man's reluctance to be virtuous to the opposite sex.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu's feelings for Qin Keqing are pure and human, and he has not cheated. There is no doubt about it.
