Why did the Jia family finally decline? Does this have anything to do with their luxurious life before?

Looking through the entertainment items in the book: watching a play, listening to songs, reciting poems and painting, enjoying lanterns and gardens, enjoying tea and flowers, fishing and fighting grass, solve riddles on the lanterns, drinking games, playing dominoes, telling jokes, flying kites, setting off fireworks, weaving flower baskets, playing football and archery, hunting and fighting cocks. All kinds of entertainment methods are full of the daily life of aristocratic families.

Among them, the leisure activities of aristocratic adult men reflect vulgar and depraved tastes:

Jia Zheng is the only Chinese character generation in the Jia family. He spends all his time reading or playing chess with diners. Besides playing with women, Xie Jia also likes to collect antiques-fans; And Jia Jing only burned Dan and refined mercury, and didn't even go home.

Under the guidance of this family culture, the "Jade Girl" generation did not even study it: Jia Zhen always enjoyed it, Jia Lian was eager to fill the vacancy, and Baoyu liked to hang out with others, which was a typical school of rich and idle people. The pampered living environment of these rich children lacks the edification and restraint of poetry, books, rituals and music, and they gradually embark on the road of no return, no matter today or tomorrow. This is what Leng Zixing said: "No one is going to paint."

In addition to these men named Jia, we should also add Xue Pan, an idiot. Jia's dandy habits make him ten times worse than before. He fights for wine today, looks at flowers tomorrow and even gambles and whores. Most of this behavior has Jia Zhen as the head of the family, fooling around with his head.

And Baoyu is a bit out of place among these sons.

After all, he has some aura, intelligence, erudition and delicate mind, all of which are above the clan men: Baoyu reads some idle books, not the prodigal son mentioned by Zheng Gonggong, but he doesn't seek official fortune. In the Grand View Garden, Baoyu tried to check the quantity, which fully showed his intelligence.

On one occasion, Feng Ziying invited Baoyu, Xue Pan, son of general Feng Tang, family friends of Jia family and dramatist to drink. Because of Baoyu's outstanding personality, a new order was issued, which gave the banquet a taste of learning: the words "sadness, sorrow, joy and joy" should be presented to the daughter, and because of these four words, the wine noodles should sing fresh and fashionable songs and the bottom of the wine should be borrowed.

It is difficult for Xue Pan, who is stupid and dull, to show his vulgar origins to everyone for his daughter's pleasure, and Baoyu's red bean Qu is the most profound and graceful love story except Furong's daughter.
