Eighty Red Theory: Between Father and Son

The contradiction between Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu should first stem from the regret in Jia Zheng's heart, that is, Jia Zheng is an official and not from the imperial examination. In the past, in addition to the rank www.biquge.info and official position, officials in the officialdom had to look at whether they were born in the imperial examination, which is the same as whether they have a Peking University Tsinghua degree in modern times. Then Jia Zheng said in the second episode of "Dream of Red Mansions" "Leng Zixing's Speech on Rongguo Mansion", "I originally wanted to be born in Kejia, but when Dai Shan was dying, the emperor immediately ordered his eldest son to attack the official, asked how many sons there were, and immediately introduced him, so he gave this political father an additional title of director, so that he entered the ministry to study, and now he has been promoted to a foreign officer." This is to say that Jia Zheng has the ability to take the first rank in the imperial examination, but due to the emperor's summons, he directly gave the official to enter the official career; At that time, Jia Zheng reflected his ability to give officials for the emperor's appreciation in the Q&A room and in the conversation, and it was a good thing to have less time to struggle, but there was a disadvantage in the officialdom. Therefore, Jia Zheng hopes that his children can continue his dream of entering politics through the imperial examination. Jia Zheng "Mrs. Wang, the firstborn son, named Jia Zhu, entered school at the age of fourteen, married a wife and gave birth to a child before the age of twenty, and died of illness." Jia Zhu "went to school" and took the Xiucai exam, which shows that Jia Zheng's poetry and books are heirlooms, and the descendants have no problems in family skills, but Jia Zhu died early, leaving behind the widow Li Kun and the orphan Jia Lan.

Jia Baoyu is the second son of Mrs. Jia Zheng's wife Wang's third child, "as soon as the fetus falls, a piece of colorful and crystalline jade is placed in his mouth, and there are many handwriting on it, so he is named Baoyu." Jia Baoyu was born because of the title of jade, and the world is rumored to be a strange thing, so it is naturally easy to be accused of being a god, so "grandmother loves like a treasure first". When he was one year old, Father Zheng wanted to try his future ambitions, so he put countless things in the world and grabbed them with him. Who knew that he didn't take anything, and only reached out and grabbed some fat powder hairpin rings. The old man was furious, and said, 'In the future, the drunken ears of the vain! Therefore they were displeased. Duna Shi Lao Taijun is still the same as the root of life. "It's a bit nonsense to look at innate temperament within 1 year old. However, there is a saying in China since ancient times: "3 years old is old, 7 years old is old", which simply and clearly summarizes the general law of children's psychological development. From the psychological characteristics and personality tendencies of a 3-year-old child, we can see the prototype of the child's psychological and personality image in his adolescence; And from the 7-year-old child, you can see his achievements and achievements after middle age. The age of 3 and 7 years was only an estimated range in ancient times, but it has been proven by modern technology to be very reasonable. Jia Baoyu "is now seven or eight years old, although he is naughty, but his intelligence and well-behaved are not as good as his one", Jia Yucun said that Baoyu was born from innate spirit and evil and his innate wisdom is no problem, and there is a deviation in the cultivation of the day after tomorrow, and it is determined that he must not "follow the rules of the teacher" and "cannot keep the foundation of his grandfather".

There are three kinds of situations in life in material desires: receiving, giving, and obtaining. Jia Baoyu has no problem in obtaining and paying due to the cultivation environment, but there is a different ambiguity in material acquisition. Everything in the world can only be obtained by exchange or competition, and Baoyu is somewhat out of step with the world in this regard. All the fame, fortune, affection, and desires of Baoyu Environment are obtained for nothing, but whether it has stepped out of its materialistic circulation environment has caused it to be unwilling to grow. Jia Baoyu has always been loving and enjoying in the family, needless to say that Shi Taijun does not need to say, and the same is true between sisters; But his mother, Mrs. Wang, has a section on mother-son affection in the twenty-fifth chapter, and it should be seen that there was a rift between Jin Chuan's mother and son, which can be seen from the description of Mrs. Wang's Spring and Autumn brushwork, but her Jiazhu Ben Fat Yan Zhai criticism has successively "a few of the remaining crying out of their voices", "the whole world has lost their mothers to cry together", "the mother and Jiao'er have written everything", this is probably Cao Xueqin's own conscience, which shows how great Mrs. Wang's mother has contributed in her career. Jia Baoyu has been living in the inner house of Jiafu and has not moved to the outer study for a few days; Jiafu's inner house is a woman's world, and the material circulation is controlled by women, so she is naturally influenced by it, and his remarks can also say that "men and women are equal" and "feminist" tendencies; He doesn't care about where the material things expressed in glory and wealth come from, although the thirty-second chapter mentions that Baochai has repeatedly reminded and Xiangyun also has words, but he thinks that "the knowledge of official career economy" is "bastard talk", so the material acquisition of Jiafu is always something outside of Jia Baoyu's thoughts; Note here that Jia Baoyu is not a very gentleman, but he is also a "pseudo-gentleman" here; At least at that time, Jia Baoyu was a typical aristocratic child who worked hard but did not get anything. Cao Xueqin wrote at the beginning of "Dream of Red Mansions": "At this time, I want to write an episode of the grace of my father and brother's education, the virtue of the discipline of my teachers and friends, and the crime of being unsuccessful and half-life-like to tell the world." My sins are inevitable, but there are people in the boudoir who have never been in the past, and they must not be wiped out because of my misdeeds", and from then on, it is impossible for him to reflect on his own inability to help in the destruction of his family. This does not contradict his critique of reality in Dream of Red Mansions. Because there are two sides to any work, the coexistence of critical progress and class limitations is universal in the world. In the old era, literature, philosophy, and all kinds of thinkers were not completely separated from the ruling class, so it is not surprising that there were corresponding one-sided limitations from Confucius down to Wang Yangming.

Jia Zheng has affirmed Baoyu's talent since he was a child, and every intersection between him and Baoyu in the book can reflect this, from the seventeenth chapter of "The Great View Garden Examination Questions to the Correct Amount" to the seventy-eighth chapter of "The Old Bachelor's Idle Expedition to the Concubine", but he was dissatisfied with Baoyu's lack of use for the right path. The thirty-third episode of "all kinds of unscrupulous flogging tarts" broke out once because Baoyu mistook Jin Chuan and Youqi officials, but Jia Zheng knew some details of Baoyu's life. In Jiafu, there are Qingwen from Jia's mother, Qiuwen from Mrs. Wang, and Mingyan and Li Gui from Jia Zheng, although they may be completely detailed, but the details of the guards they pay attention to should not be missed. Therefore, in the seventy-seventh episode, Mrs. Wang said, "My heart, ears, and mind are here all the time", and in the seventy-eighth episode, Jia Mu said, "I am also worried about this, and I always look at him with cold eyes." Only messing with the girls, it must be a big heart, and they know the affairs of men and women, so they love to be close to them. After careful investigation, it is not for this", and Jia Zheng is "Recently, although Baoyu does not read, he can quite understand this, and when he evaluates it carefully, it is not very insulting to the ancestors." As far as the ancestors are concerned, the same is true of each of them, although there are those who have done a deep career, they have never made a trace, and it seems that this is also the number of Jiamen. Besides, his mother doted on him, so she didn't force him to force him with her karma. So this is waiting for him recently", Jia Zheng is afraid that he also understands Baoyu's "circle of friends", like King Beijing, Feng Ziying and others can also help Baoyu if he starts a career in the future.

Therefore, looking at the transformation of Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu's father and son from a strict father in Lei Li to a loving father in singing and harmony, the transition was naturally completed as Jia Baoyu grew older.
