Liu Xinwu reveals the reason for Yuan Chun’s death

Jia Yuanchun, she is the only imperial concubine from the Jia family. She has a noble status. Many readers have expressed doubts about the cause of her death. How did Jia Yuanchun die? Next, join me to learn about the reasons for Yuanchun's death. Welcome to read!

How did Jia Yuanchun die?

In Gao E The continuation of "A Dream of Red Mansions" tells the cause of Jia Yuanchun's death. The book mentions that a fortune teller mentioned that the Mao month of the Yin year was Jia Yuanchun's death. Later, Jia Yuanchun died of phlegm syndrome due to physical gain and fatigue in daily life.

If you want to solve the mystery of Jia Yuanchun’s death, you need to start with Jia Yuanchun’s identity and background. As we all know, Jia Yuanchun is the "Concubine Yuan" who entered the harem. She is in the harem and represents the interests of the family. From Concubine Yuan's cry to Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, we can know that Jia Yuanchun entered the harem not out of her own will. As a child of the Jia family, she shoulders the responsibility of safeguarding the interests of the Jia family. There are so many concubines in the harem, and if Jia Yuanchun wants to have a place, he needs to work hard on his own. It can be inferred from this that Jia Yuanchun was involved in the harem battle, and then the emperor liked the new and disliked the old, and gradually lost interest in Jia Yuanchun. At this time, Jia Yuanchun lost his favor and lived a lonely and helpless life as if he had been relegated to the cold palace. Jia Yuanchun lived deep in the harem, unable to see his relatives and friends, let alone confide his sorrows to his family, and finally died in depression.

There is another speculation about the mystery of Jia Yuanchun’s death, that is, Jia Yuanchun was murdered. It can be known from Jia Yuanchun's verdict that Jia Yuanchun was pregnant before his death. At that time, the Jia family was the leader of the four major forces in the DPRK. If Jia Yuanchun had given birth to a child in his belly, it would undoubtedly stabilize and enhance the power of the Jia family. To be on the safe side, the ruler might kill Jia Yuanchun, so Jia Yuanchun did not give birth to his son in the end.

Who is the historical prototype of Jia Yuanchun?

In "A Dream of Red Mansions", the story of "Concubine Yuan's visit to the bride" left a deep impression on readers. So, who did Cao Xueqin use as the prototype when he created the character of Jia Yuanchun? Although "A Dream of Red Mansions" describes the story of an official's family in the feudal period, it does not indicate who the emperor was. This is a good way to analyze the prototype of Jia Yuanchun. The mystery leaves many obstacles behind.

According to historical records, Cao Xueqin’s grandfather Cao Yin had two daughters, and both of them entered the palace to accompany Emperor Kangxi. However, the two daughters of Cao Xueqin's ancestors only married princes and became princesses, instead of marrying emperors and becoming princesses. Perhaps Cao Xueqin changed the status of the princess to an imperial concubine for literary and artistic needs, so Jia Yuanchun became the Yuanfei. In the 63rd chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions", the sisters celebrated Jia Baoyu's birthday, and everyone drank and had fun in Yihongyuan. During this period, they played a game called "Lottery". Each lot had a poem on it, and the person who won the poem would hint at his or her subsequent fate. Later, Tanchun drew a lottery ticket, which said "Red apricots planted by the sun and leaning against the clouds". So everyone started joking with Tan Chun and said: "Our family already has a princess, are you also a princess?" From this joke, we can learn that Jia Yuanchun was not a princess at first, but a princess. .

As mentioned above, Cao Xueqin’s ancestors had two daughters who became princesses, one of whom was Princess Pingjun. Princess Pingjun was granted a marriage by Emperor Kangxi, and her seniority was much higher than that of the original Jia Yuanchun. Since Cao Xueqin tells many stories about women of his generation in "A Dream of Red Mansions", it is speculated that Jia Yuanchun's prototype should be one of Cao Xueqin's sisters.

Why Yuanchun doesn’t like Lin Daiyu

In fact, whether Yuanchun likes Lin Daiyu has always been one of the arguments in the red academic circle. Some people think that Yuanchun does not like Lin Daiyu.

First, Yuanchun changed the word "red fragrant and green jade" in Baoyu's poems to "red fragrant and fast green", and the green color is the same as the color of Daiyu, so some people inferred that Yuanchun didn't like it. Daiyu’s. Second, when Yuanchun was evaluating poems, he ranked Xue Baochai's works first. Although Lin Daiyu's poems were superior, Xue Baochai was ranked first. From this, it can be seen that she was partial to Xue Baochai.

Third, when Yuanchun gave gifts to Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai after meeting the family, Yuanchun gave the same thing to Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai. They were both red musk strings, and the red musk strings also symbolized red threads. Some people think that Yuanchun was doing this. Matching the two people, hoping that Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai can become a family.
