Brief introduction of characters in A Dream of Red Mansions;
1, Jia Baoyu, reincarnated as a waiter in Shen Ying, was born with jade in his mouth. According to legend, when Nu Wa tried to repair the sky by refining stones, she left an unused stone and abandoned it at the foot of Geng Qingfeng, which later became a spirit. When a monk saw it, he carved the words "Don't forget, never die, live in Heng Chang" on the stone.
He was a feudal rebel. He hated the road of being an official in feudal society, and satirized those who were keen on fame as "people seeking fame" and "thieves and ghosts". Contrary to the feudal moral concept of "men are superior to women", he said: "Daughters are made of water and men are made of mud. When I saw my daughters, I felt refreshed; I feel turbid and smelly when I see a man! " Jia Baoyu's rebellious thoughts are of course regarded as "reckless" and "immoral" by feudal orthodox figures.
2. Lin Daiyu, the only daughter of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min. Because her parents died, her grandmother pitied her loneliness and took her to Guo Rong's home to raise her. Although she is an orphan, she is arrogant, naive and straightforward by nature, and she is a feudal rebel with Baoyu. She never advised Baoyu to take the road of feudalism as an official.
She despises fame and fortune. When Jia Baoyu gave her a precious rosary from a saint given by King Jing of Beijing, she said, "I don't want this thing from a smelly man!" " She and Baoyu shared the same ideals and interests, and they really loved each other, but this love was brutally strangled by Jia Mu and others, and Lin Daiyu died in tears.
3. Xue Baochai, one of the twelve women in Jinling, is the daughter of Aunt Xue, with a family fortune of millions. She has a beautiful appearance, smooth muscles and graceful manners. She was keen on "career economy" and advised Baoyu to meet an official and talk about career economy. Baoyu secretly denounced him as an "asshole".
She abides by feudal women's virtue, is quite shrewd, can win the hearts of the people and is praised by the Jia family. She hung a golden lock, which read "Never leave, never leave". Aunt Xue has long said, "Choose jade to match this golden lock." Jia Baoyu was forced to marry Xue Baochai under the single hand of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. Because the two sides had no common ideals and interests, Jia Baoyu could not forget his confidant Lin Daiyu and became a monk soon after marriage. Xue Baochai had to live alone in an empty boudoir and hold a grudge for life.
