Excerpt from the 50th chapter of the Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 65 of 'Dream of the Red Chamber', presented the complicated relationships between the characters and the plot. Jia Lian secretly married Second Sister You behind Wang Xifeng's back. In this process, a series of characters had their own performances. Jia Lian flattered Second Sister You and gave her his savings. He also told her about Sister Feng's behavior and that he would bring Second Sister You in once Sister Feng died. They seemed to be living a good life. There were professionals to serve them and there was a fixed monthly supply. Jia Zhen also had an important role in this film. He went to visit the You sisters, and his interactions with Jia Lian, Second Sister You, and the others reflected the complicated family relationship between them. His conversation with Bao Er also showed his status in the family and his control over the servants. Second Sister You was gentle and obedient, and she was in a weak position when she got along with Jia Lian. Old Lady You was satisfied with her daughter's current situation. Although Third Sister You had joked with Jia Zhen before, she was not as easy-going as her sister. She had her own attitude when facing Jia Zhen's covetous desire. In terms of the plot, this story was filled with emotional entanglements within the family, power relations, and the fate of the characters under feudal ethics. It showed the profound description of human nature and feudal family relations in Dream of the Red Chamber. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The following are some of the chapters of 'Dream of the Red Chamber': - "Once spring is over, the beauty will be old, and the flowers will fall and the people will die." This sentence seemed to point out the theme of the book. The women in the Grand View Garden were as beautiful as spring flowers, blooming their youth in the environment of the Jia residence. However, after the "spring" passed, the Jia family declined and the women's fate was tragic. Some died and some scattered. This sentence vividly compared the fate of women with the withering of spring flowers. - "Understanding the world is knowledge, understanding human feelings is an article": Baochai could be said to be this kind of person who was experienced in human feelings. From how she thought, dealt with problems, treated others, herself, her family, her elders, friends, servants, and maids, she reflected her "capable and capable". - ** Judgment: "It is a pity to stop the machine, and it is a pity to chant the talent." The jade belt hung in the forest, and the golden hairpin was buried in the jade. Because of the emphasis on "the hairpin and the Dai match", this judgment was both Daiyu's and Baochai's. This was also the reason why there were only eleven judgments in the twelve golden hairpins. The first two sentences affirmed the two people's different talents, while the last two sentences coincided with their names and revealed their sad fates. In the book, chapters such as the second chapter of Baoyu's capture of Zhou, the third chapter of Lin Daiyu's entry into the Jia family, the sixth chapter of Granny Liu's entry into the Grand View Garden, the fifteenth chapter of Wang Xifeng's power in Tieshan Temple, the eighteenth chapter of Yuanchun's visit, the twenty-seventh chapter of Daiyu's burial of flowers, the thirty-third to thirty-fourth chapters of Baoyu's beating, the forty-eighth chapter of Xiangling's learning of poetry, the fifty-sixth chapter of Tanchun's brave battle with Lady Zhao, and the seventy-seventh chapter of Qingwen's death were more important and often examined. These chapters could also be extracted and commented on. For example, the chapter of Daiyu's burial of flowers reflected Lin Daiyu's sentimentality, regret for the disappearance of beautiful things, and her aloof and self-proclaimed personality characteristics. The chapter of Baoyu being beaten reveals the contradictions and conflicts within the feudal family, the strictness of etiquette, and the huge contrast between Baoyu's character and the expectations of the feudal parents. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The following are some good passages from the twenty-first chapter of 'Dream of the Red Chamber': 1. "That Lin Daiyu was tightly wrapped in an apricot red silk quilt, sleeping soundly with her eyes closed. Shi Xiangyun, on the other hand, had her long black hair draped over her pillow, and her quilt was only at her chest. Her snow-white arms were hanging out of the quilt, and she was wearing two gold bracelets." Through the description of Lin and Shi's sleeping posture, this paragraph shows the different personalities and physical conditions of the two people. Daiyu's well-behaved behavior implies that her physique is weak, her sleep is shallow and she is afraid of cold. Xiangyun's wild sleeping posture reflects her strong body and deep sleep. 2. " Xian Xiren coquettishly admonished Baoyu; Pretty Ping 'er coyly saved Jia Lian." This sentence summarized the two main plot clues of this chapter. Xian Xiren was dissatisfied with Baoyu's behavior and coquettishly advised him. Qiao Pinger used soft words to save Jia Lian from being known by Feng sister. 3. "The burning of flowers and the scattering of deer, the boudoir began to contain its advice, the destruction of Baochai's immortal appearance, the gray jade's spiritual orifices, the loss of affection, and the beauty and evil of the boudoir began to be similar. If they accept his advice, they will have no worries about participating in business, damage their immortal appearance, lose the heart of love, destroy their spiritual orifices, and lose the feeling of talent and thought. Those hairpins, jade ornaments, flowers, and musks are all used to confuse and entangle the world." This passage was full of meaning. It explored the relationship and emotional content of the characters in the book from a unique perspective. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

In the seventeenth chapter of "Dream of the Red Chamber," Jia Zheng took Baoyu to visit the Grand View Garden with many Qing guests to answer questions. This time, the Jia family's extravagance, character, and talent were fully displayed. From this, one could realize the complexity of the feudal family relationship, such as the contradiction between Jia Zheng and Baoyu. Moreover, Baoyu's brilliant talent conflicted with Jia Zheng's ideas, which also hinted at Baoyu's confusion in life. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The following is a good quote from the twenty-sixth chapter of 'Dream of the Red Chamber': 1. There was no banquet that did not end. 2. There were a few mountain rocks in the courtyard, planted with banana trees, and two cranes plucking their feathers under the pine trees. There were all kinds of cages and birds hanging in the corridor. 3. Every day I feel sleepy thinking of home. 4. If I share your affectionate young lady's tent, how can I bear to fold the quilt and make the bed? 5. The flower soul was silent and emotionless, and the bird dream was crazy. 6. The child's talent and appearance should be rare in the world, only holding Youfang out of the embroidered boudoir. 7. A whimper was still heard, and the birds on the ground were startled. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The plot of this episode contained many intertwined clues. Firstly, Xiao Hong was in a trance. After dreaming of Jia Yun, she did not sleep the whole night. The next day, she cleaned the house without dressing up. Baoyu also paid attention to her but did not call her directly because he was worried. Little Red was sent by Xiren to borrow a watering can from Xiaoxiang Restaurant. On the way, she saw Jia Yun supervising the work and came back listless. Second, on the birthday of Mrs. Wang Ziteng, Aunt Xue, Feng Jie, the three sisters of the Jia family, Baochai and Baoyu went to congratulate her and did not return until late at night. Third, after Jia Huan left school, he was ordered by Madam Wang to copy the Diamond Sutra Mantra. He held a wooden stick on the kang and shouted at the servant girls. Only Cai Xia still got along with him and advised him to behave. Jia Huan misunderstood Cai Xia and Baoyu and ignored him. As the two were talking, Feng Jie and Baoyu came one after another. Baoyu was very intimate after seeing Madam Wang and acted coquettishly in Madam Wang's arms. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The following is the wonderful analysis of the thirty-eighth chapter of 'Dream of the Red Chamber': ** I. The interpersonal relationship and profound meaning behind Grandmother Jia's "survival"** 1. ** The relationship between Lady Jia and Lady Xing ** - In this chapter, Grandmother Jia did not bring Lady Xing with her when she went to admire the osmanthus flowers, and Lady Xing often followed Grandmother Jia when Lin Daiyu entered the Jia residence. This implied that Grandmother Jia and Lady Xing did not have a good relationship, which foreshadowed Grandmother Jia's reprimand of Lady Xing when Jia She asked to marry Yuanyang. 2. ** The mystery of Grandmother Jia's recollection of the past ** - Grandmother Jia recalled that she had almost drowned when she lost her footing in the Shi family's "Pillow Xia Pavilion" when she was young, leaving a scar on her head. This not only led to the origin of Xiangyun's nickname "Zhenxia Old Friend", but also reflected the deep meaning of Grandmother Jia's words. She had experienced many storms in the Jia family. These words might be to tell Aunt Xue, who might have lost her husband early, that it was not easy for her to be in the Jia family. Perhaps it was also to hint that Aunt Xue should take good care of the Xue siblings because Aunt Xue would become the ancestor of the Xue family in the future. ** 2. Interpersonal relationships and social class reflected by the seating arrangement of the party ** 1. ** Master's Seat ** - At the first table sat Grandmother Jia, Aunt Xue, Baochai, Daiyu, and Baoyu. Here were the key figures of the " Golden Fate " and " Wood and Stone Alliance ". Grandmother Jia supported Bao Dai's marriage, and Aunt Xue supported Baoyu and Baochai's marriage. - At the second table were Shi Xiangyun, Mrs. Wang, Ying, Tan and Xi. Mrs. Wang, Shi Xiangyun and Sanchun sat at the same table. It was intriguing. - At the third table, Li Wan and Feng Jie were the daughters-in-law of Jia She and Jia Zheng. As they were servants, they did not dare to sit in empty seats. They only served at the two tables of Grandmother Jia and Lady Wang. 2. ** Servant maid seating arrangement ** - The first table was filled with Grandmother Jia, Madam Wang, and the maids beside Sister Feng, such as Yuanyang, Hupo, Caixia, Caiyun, and Pinger. They had the highest monthly salary and sat together in line with their status. - The second table was for Baoyu and the maidservants of the young ladies. Xiren was in the first place. At that time, she was the future aunt. - The third table was for the old woman and the little servant girl. Their status was lower than the servant girls at the first two tables, reflecting that the servants of the Jia family were also divided into three, six, and nine grades, reflecting the social hierarchy at that time. ** 3. The significance of Daiyu's poem winning the first place and the author's arrangement ** 1. ** Poem Plot Description ** - Lin Daiyu didn't eat much wine and crabs. She leaned against the railing and sat fishing. Baochai played with osmanthus flowers and threw the osmanthus petals to attract fish. Xiangyun called everyone to eat crabs and other different performances, creating an atmosphere of activity. 2. ** The rationality of Daiyu winning the championship ** - Everyone wrote chrysanthemum poems, and Lin Daiyu's "Ode to Chrysanthemum" and other three poems were rated as the best. The author didn't let Daiyu win the first place purely because of her poetic talent, but because Daiyu's life experience and temperament matched the quality of chrysanthemum's "proud frost branch". She could express her thoughts and feelings more fully, truthfully and naturally than others. At the same time, Xiangyun's "overwhelming the crowd" when chanting the white begonia, and Baochai's "swan song" when satirizing the crab, it can be seen that the author's intention to recite the characters according to the quality of the objects in different plots. 3. ** Poetry Creation and Plot Structure ** - The theme of this chapter was poetry. At the beginning, it was written that Grandmother Jia and her party went to Lotus Fragrance Pavilion to admire osmanthus and eat crabs, creating a lively atmosphere for poetry. Among them, the plot of Sister Feng joking in front of Grandmother Jia was vivid and interesting. It not only described the harmonious and happy relationship between the master and the slave, but also complied with the logic of the plot development. As the fat review said,"heavy writing and light erasing", it seemed difficult to get into the topic, but it naturally transitioned to the poetic plot. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Chapter 40 to 80 of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' showed the complicated interpersonal relationships of a feudal family and the signs of gradual decline. In this part, Bao Dai's love developed further. The feelings between them were sincere but full of helplessness. Daiyu's sensitivity and thoughtfulness stemmed from the situation of living under someone else's roof. Her love for Baoyu was pure, but the shackles of feudal ethics made this love full of ups and downs. Baoyu was in it, and although he had feelings for Daiyu, he couldn't be completely independent. Xue Baochai's image was even more voluptuous, and her tactful behavior was in stark contrast to Daiyu's aloofness. Her ability maintained the balance of family relations to a certain extent, but her marriage also became a victim of feudal arranged marriages. At the same time, the internal conflicts within the family gradually intensified. Wang Xifeng managed the family affairs, but she also faced many thorny problems. Under the prosperity of the Jia Clan on the surface, problems such as financial deficit and unworthy children were constantly exposed, laying the foreshadowing for the decline of the clan. This part of the plot was filled with a deep insight into the feudal social system, ethics, and human nature. The fate of the characters rose and fell in the big net of family and society, which made people sigh with emotion. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The following are some of the highlights from 'Dream of the Red Chamber': - When Grandmother Jia saw Daiyu, she " hugged her " and " cried her heart out " before she began to talk. This description sincerely expressed the complex feelings of Grandmother Jia for Daiyu, such as the longing for her daughter who died early and the love for Daiyu. The way of crying first and then saying made the feelings more sincere. - When Wang Xifeng appeared, she shouted in the backyard," I'm late. I didn't welcome the guests from afar!" First hear the voice, then see the person. Her appearance was brilliant and her appearance was described in detail."Her pink face was full of spring power, and her red lips were not open to smile." She wrote her personality with her body and spirit. The actions and words that followed after taking Daiyu up and down and sending her back to Grandmother Jia vividly reflected her personality characteristics. Her interaction with Grandmother Jia and Lady Wang also showed her status as a housekeeper. - When Baoyu and Daiyu met, Daiyu thought that Baoyu was a mischievous character and an ignorant child before she saw him. However, she was shocked when she saw him." It's so strange. It's as if I've seen him somewhere before. How familiar!" Baoyu also said," I've seen this sister before." Their psychological activities echoed each other, showing that they hit it off at first sight and that they were innocent. It also coincided with their fate in their previous lives. After that, Baoyu asked Daiyu,"Is there jade too?" She had provoked Baoyu to throw the Psychic Baoyu, so Daiyu felt guilty and started the "Return Tears Theory". - The scene of Daiyu feeding Baoyu wine, the way she looked up, the way Baoyu reached out to stop the wine, and the way he gently tilted his head to avoid touching her hand. Such behavior was very out of line at the banquet in the feudal era, full of ambiguous feelings. - "Aunt doesn't know," said Daiyu with a smile. Fortunately, it was aunt's house. If it was someone else's house, wouldn't they be angry? It was easy to say that he did not even have a hand stove and had to send one from home. Not to mention that the servant maids are too careful, they think that I am used to being frivolous." "You're so paranoid. If you think that way, I don't have that kind of heart," Aunt Xue said. - When Huo Qi, a servant of Zhen Shiyin's family, took Yinglian to see the social fire lantern, Huo Qi placed Yinglian on the threshold because he urinated. After returning, Yinglian disappeared. He was so anxious that he searched for her until midnight. He did not dare to come back and fled to another place. After Zhen Shiyin and his wife lost their daughter, they cried day and night, almost ignoring their lives. - Jia Yucun and Jiao Xing met. Jia Yucun was discussing literature in Zhen Shiyin's study. Because Zhen Shiyin had not returned from a meeting for a long time, he got up and left. At this time, he met Jiao Xing, the servant girl of the Zhen family. Jiao Xing looked back. This plot was foreshadowed for the later chapters. - When Wang Xifeng took Jia Baoyu to Ningguo Mansion to play, she saw Qin Zhong. Wang Xifeng said that Qin Zhong was better than Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong hit it off at first sight in Ningguo Mansion and wanted to go to school together. Wang Xifeng helped to make it happen. After the admission procedures were completed, Qin Zhong invited Jia Baoyu to school. Jia Baoyu took him to see Grandmother Jia. Grandmother Jia especially liked Qin Zhong because of Jia Baoyu. - Because of Qin Keqing's death, Jia Zhen wanted to make the funeral grand. Seeing that Jia Rong's official position was low, he wanted to donate a future for him. When the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace arrived, Jia Zhen expressed his thoughts to him. The eunuch said that although someone greeted him, he could give priority to Jia Zhen. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
