The Jia family was an important aristocratic family in 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. The Jia family was divided into Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion. The Duke of Ningguo Jia Yan and the Duke of Rongguo Jia Yuan were brothers, and the Duke of Ningguo was the elder, so the Ningguo Mansion had a higher status than the Rongguo Mansion. Jia Jing of the Ningguo Manor left his residence to live in a Taoist temple outside the capital. He only had one son, Jia Zhen, and Jia Zhen also had one son, Jia Rong. There were two sons, Jia She and Jia Zheng, under Grandmother Jia of Rong Mansion. Jia She was the eldest son, but he did not live in Rong Mansion. The one who lived in Rong Mansion was Jia Zheng. The relationship between the Jia family members was complicated, and the management of the family affairs also reflected many forms. Madam Wang was an important figure in the Wang family who married into the Jia family. Although she did not have many butlers on the surface, she actually controlled the hearts of the people, power, and resources. As Lady Wang's niece, Wang Xifeng managed the affairs of the Jia family in various ways. The rise and fall of the Jia family was related to many factors. The Yuanchun visit was considered the beginning of the Jia family's decline. The emperor's arrangement of the Yuanchun visit and the way he treated the Jia family hinted at the crisis the Jia family was facing. The actions of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong of the Ningguo Mansion were seen as the culprits of the Jia family's shakedown. They were involved in the " rebellion " case of the Dragon Guard, which led to the decline of the Jia family. However, there was still a possibility of a revival of Rong Mansion after its decline. Jia Zheng's grandson, Jia Lan, was expected to regain his freedom after the Jia family was raided for several years. He would be able to take part in the imperial examinations and become a champion, allowing the Jia family to prosper again. However, this was already Jia Lan's era and was different from the Jia family that was blessed by Duke Ning Rong. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The Jia family's income mainly came from land rent and other income. Land rent was the main source of income for the Jia family. The head of Black Mountain Village, Wu Jinxiao, paid rent to Jia Zhen, which was about 2500 taels of silver a year.

All of this income added up to about six to seven thousand taels of silver a year. However, with the increase in the population of the Jia family and the emphasis on extravagance, the financial pressure gradually increased.

However, the income was far from enough to meet these needs. The economic situation of the Jia family gradually deteriorated, leading to the decline of the family.

They tried to solve the financial imbalance by means of usury, but they did not fundamentally solve the financial problem. The decline of the Jia family was a gradual process. It was affected by internal and external factors and eventually collapsed. In general, the income and expenditure situation of the Jia family was that the income was not enough to meet the needs of the expenditure, which led to the gradual deterioration of the economic situation and ultimately led to the decline of the family.
The costumes of the Jia family in Dream of the Red Chamber had rich meanings. Judging from Wang Xifeng's clothes, when she first appeared, she wore a narrow jacket made of golden butterflies and red satin, a jade crepe skirt, and a five-colored silver-green coat. "Narrow jacket" had narrow seams under the armpits, fitting the body and accentuating the curves. This style was popular in the late Qing Dynasty. The embroidery of "a hundred butterflies wearing flowers" on the jacket was exquisite, showing its noble status, because this complicated embroidery pattern was usually used by noble women. The 'crepe' of the 'emerald crepe skirt' was made of light, soft, and elastic silk fabric with floral patterns scattered around it. It was very stylish. In the "Five-colored Silk-carved Shiqing Silver Rat Gown","Shiqing" was the exclusive color of nobles. The outer cover of this coat could suppress the bright skirt and highlight their status. When Lin Daiyu visited her mother, she was dressed in a more luxurious way. Her pink coat was embroidered with plum blossoms and bamboo, and she wore a phoenix hairpin on her head. This design was exquisite, grand, elegant, and noble. She was still dressed in her last moments of life, similar to the way Concubine Yuan dressed when she visited her relatives. However, the decoration on her head was simple, and only a large pink flower was more eye-catching. Its classic outfit was a white and red dress, with white earrings embellished with red flowers, symbolizing purity and passion. Tanchun and Daiyu were the daughters of officials, so the hairpins on their foreheads were five pearls, while Baochai was a merchant with three pearls. In 'Dream of the Red Chamber', the clothing of a character symbolized their identity, reflected their personality, and also showed the difference in social class.

In 'Dream of the Red Chamber', the ranking of the Jia family was as follows: - In terms of title, Duke Rong was one rank higher than Duke Ning.

In the Rongguo Mansion, Jia She inherited the title of first-class general. If Jia Lian inherited the title, he would be a second-class general.

There were many reasons why the Jia family was raided in 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. - ** Political aspects **: - Yuan Chun lost power: Although Jia Yuanchun's consort title had brought the Jia family's power to its peak, after the Jia family lost the protection of the royal family, it was very likely that Yuan Chun lost power in the palace and the royal family changed their attitude towards the Jia family. This was an important political factor in the decline of the Jia family. - Political Selections: Some people think that the Jia family has made a mistake in taking sides in a similar struggle for the throne. For example, in the relationship between the Retired Emperor and the Emperor, the Jia family's position may anger the Emperor and lead to being targeted. - [Relationship with Prince Beijing: Prince Beijing's appearance at Qin Keqing's funeral and his close relationship with the Jia family caused the Emperor to be wary.] The Prince of Beijing had given the prayer beads to Jia Baoyu, claimed to be favored by celebrities, and was suspected of raising scholars, which made the Emperor suspicious of the alliance between the Jia family and the Prince of Beijing. And after the Jia family was promoted to Consort Xiande in Yuan Chun, they did not draw a clear line with Prince Beijing and still had close relations. This was a potential political hidden danger of being raided. - ** In terms of economy **: The internal economy of the Jia family has declined, and it is unable to make ends meet. The property that Daiyu brought to the Jia family was swallowed up, reflecting the economic predicament of the Jia family. The economic problem was also a factor in the looting. - ** Family internal affairs **: - ** Family Decay **: The descendants of the Jia family are foppish, there are no decent people, the family management is not good, and the internal corruption is unbearable. - ** Family disputes **: There are internal disputes in the family. As implied by the saying,"All unworthy people are born with glory, and the beginning of trouble lies in peace", internal conflicts in the family are also one of the reasons for the decline. - [In terms of etiquette, there is a serious problem with etiquette at Qin Keqing's funeral.] Qin Keqing was only the daughter-in-law of a great-grandson. The funeral cost a lot and took a long time. The coffin was made of the emperor's wood. The number of people attending the funeral was too high. Prince Beijing's attendance was not approved by the emperor. These actions showed that the Jia family lacked respect for the royal family. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
