On the Implication of Names in a Dream of Red Mansions

At first, the stories of the four families were told from far and near, from outside to inside, through Granny Liu in Leng Zixing, Jia Yucun, Zhen Shiyin. No matter whether the Jia family or the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River, the stories told by these four people were "true (Zhen) fake (Jia) difficult (cold) to stay (Liu)", which meant the tragic end of the four families' crushing defeat.

1. Jia Baoyu: "Fake Baoyu" is a "real stone" with rebellious spirit.

2. Zhen Shiyin, Jia Yucun: The truth is hidden, but the false words remain.

3. Miaoyu: The jade in the "temple" was originally a monk.

4. Four sisters: Yuanchun, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun: "They should sigh" and lament their short youth. Some people interpret these four words as "analysis of reasons".

5. Wang Xifeng: It means that Xifeng is like a man with outstanding talents and sharp edges. It is also homophonic "waste is a phoenix". Although the talent is outstanding, it is inevitable that the fragrance will disappear and the jade will die. When the straw mat is wrapped in the wilderness, the daughter will almost be sold.

6. Hua Xiren: The flowers are beautiful and fragrant, but they give you a gentle knife in the back. It also shows that Xiren is a "person" of "Xi" Zi (Jiang Yuhan).

7. Qin Keqing: You can be affectionate and promiscuous, and you can have an affair with anyone close to you.

8. Qingwen: Clouds on sunny days are just "colorful clouds are easy to disperse"; It is also said that it is "love."

9. Jia Zheng is a hypocrite who is hypocritical, stupid, prude and full of benevolence and morality.

1. Jia She: Supposedly, he said that he was not favored by Jia Fu.

11, Jia Rong: Rong, "tolerance" to the point where his wife commits adultery with his father and seduces his brother-in-law.

Main figure

1. Jia Baoyu, the son of Rong Guofu who was born with a jade, was really a waiter in Chixia Palace in his previous life and the second son of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang in his present life.

As a direct descendant of Rong Guo Fu, he was born with extraordinary intelligence, and was regarded as the apple of his eye by his family. He had high hopes for him, but he embarked on the road of rebellion, hated stereotyped writing, criticized Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism, and named those who studied and became officials "the traitor Lu Kun".

He doesn't like serious books, but prefers miscellaneous books such as Peony Pavilion and The West Chamber. He hangs out with the girls at home all day, loves their beauty and purity, and mourns their tragic fate. Jia Baoyu is an imaginary novel character and a reflection of the writer's mind.

2. Lin Daiyu is the crown of twelve women in Jinling. Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's daughter, Baoyu's aunt and cousin, lived in Rongguo Mansion. She is aloof, unsociable, disdainful of all kinds of popular ways of dealing with people, sentimental and quick-witted. She and Baoyu really love each other, which is Baoyu's alliance against feudal ethics and is a firm pursuer of free love. She is a tragic image with poetic beauty and ideal color in the book.

Her beauty makes people feel distressed and pitied sincerely, and what is more artistic is her unparalleled rich and beautiful spiritual world. She is well-read, knowledgeable and talented in many aspects, and she also shines with the brilliance of simple democratic thought of pursuing personality liberation and striving for freedom of marriage.

3. Xue Baochai, the crown of twelve women in Jinling (tied with Daiyu), comes from the Xue family of four big families, the daughter of Aunt Xue, and Baoyu's aunt and cousin. She is a complex body of contradictions. She is generous and elegant, with graceful manners, which not only has the excellent temperament of a good family, but also has a quiet, indifferent, gentle and peaceful character, as well as a bold and generous hidden in her heart. She hated the darkness of officialdom, but she still advised Baoyu to study and be an official.

4. Wang Xifeng-from the royal family of four big families, Mrs. Wang's niece and Jia Lian's wife, namely cousin Baoyu and cousin-in-law. Her young and beautiful figure reveals dignity, slim figure, coquettish physique and undiscovered prestige, which seems gratifying, but it is awesome. She is smart and capable, won the trust of the grandmother Jia and Mrs. Wang, and is in an important position in the Rong Guo mansion. She is the actual housekeeper. She is tactful and considerate, and she has done many things for money and life.

5. Grandmother Jia, that is, Shi Taijun, is a historian from four big families, the old lady of Jiafu and the grandmother of Baoyu. In the Jia family, I started with my great-grandchildren's daughter-in-law until I had my great-grandchildren's daughter-in-law. With her shrewdness and ability, she held the position of the Jia family's parents and presided over the housekeeping of Rongguo House. Until she was old, she gradually ignored things and handed them over to Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng. She is a representative figure of the nobility, enjoying a lifetime of prosperity.

6. Qingwen-the maid of Rongguo Mansion. She is handsome and clever, articulate and good at needlework. She is the most rebellious, despising the small favors that Mrs. Wang has given to win over my little girl, mocking the attackers who please their masters, and publicly scolding Wang Shan for protecting his family when she raided the Grand View Garden. Her resistance was brutally retaliated and she was thrown out of Jia's house when she was seriously ill. Baoyu secretly went to visit. She was deeply moved and died tragically that night.
