The eighth chapter of 'Dream of the Red Chamber', had many important points to appreciate: * * I. Character relationships and the faces of all living beings in the Jia family ** 1. * * The flattery of the guests and servants ** - Baoyu's actions in the Jia residence revealed the complex interpersonal relationships within the Jia residence. He was afraid of meeting Jia Zheng and took a detour. On the way, he met Zhan Guang and Shan Pinren, the two gentlemen of Qingke. The names of these two people were homophonic. When they saw Baoyu, one of them hugged his waist and the other held his hand. Their behavior was very flattering. There were also Wu Xindeng, the head of the silver warehouse, Dai Liang, the head of the warehouse, Qian Hua, the comprador, and other stewards. Qian Hua flattered Baoyu and said that he saw that Baoyu's Doufanger calligraphy was getting better and better, so he wanted to put up some posters. These descriptions reflected the style of flattery in the Jia residence, from the guests to the servants. This style penetrated deep into the Jia residence, implying that the corruption of the Jia residence had penetrated into all levels, which was also a factor in the decline of the Jia residence. 2. * * Nanny Baoyu's old age ** - Baoyu's wet nurse, Granny Li, showed the characteristic of taking advantage of her seniority this time. When Baoyu wanted to drink at Aunt Xue's place, Granny Li first stopped him on the grounds that he would be reprimanded if he drank outside. Later, she used Jia Zheng's possible questions at home to stop Baoyu from drinking. She even drank the maple dew tea that Baoyu brewed, causing Baoyu to be furious and want to kick her out. Nanny Li interfered too much with Baoyu's behavior because she had fed him before. This reflected her special mentality in the Jia residence and also reflected Baoyu's living conditions in the Jia residence. Although he had a noble status, he was also subject to many restrictions. 3. * * Daiyu's Wisdom and Jealousy ** - While Baoyu and Baochai were looking at each other, Daiyu's arrival interrupted them. Daiyu's words were full of sarcasm and jealousy, which showed her special feelings for Baoyu. When Baoyu was stopped by Nanny Li from drinking, Daiyu stood by Baoyu's side and mocked Nanny Li. Her words were sharp and showed her intelligence. These performances of Daiyu enriched her character and also reflected the complicated emotional entanglement between Bao, Dai and Chai. * * 2. Symbolism of "Psychic Jade" and "Golden Lock"** 1. * * Origins and Prophecies ** - In the poem, it was mentioned that "Nüwa's stone refinement was already absurd, but she also acted out the great wilderness to the absurd." Losing the True Spectre Realm, Illusion came to kiss and become a stinky skin. I know that luck is not good, gold is not colorful, can only sigh that the time is not good, jade is not good. White bones like a mountain, forgetting the surname, nothing more than young master and Hongzhuang." This poem introduced the origins of the Psychic Jade, and at the same time hinted at the Jia family's defeat. On the front side of the Psychic Jade was written,"Psychic Jade-Don't lose it, don't forget it, live forever." On the back side was,"Exterminate evil, cure injustice, and know fortune." On the other side of the golden lock was,"Never leave, never abandon, forever." Ying 'er said that the golden lock was given by the monk and had to be carved on the gold ware. This coincided with the existence of the psychic jade. Although this time, the two of them looked at each other and hinted at a marriage, from the expressions such as "good luck is lost, gold is not colorful, and the good jade is not good", this marriage was not a happy ending. 2. * * Fate's hint ** - Baoyu smelled the fragrance of Baochai's "Cold Fragrance Pill" and still wanted to eat it. This scene not only reflected Baoyu's childishness, but also hinted at his fate with Baochai. After the eightieth chapter, there are plots such as the psychic jade being "stolen by mistake","Feng Jie sweeping the snow and picking up the jade","Zhen Baoyu giving the jade", etc. These all indicate that the "don't lose it, don't forget it" on the jade has a connection with the second half of the plot; Baoyu finally left home and abandoned the hairpin to become a monk, which also echoes the words "never leave, never abandon" on the golden lock. The description of these objects foreshadows the development of the character's fate and the family's fate. * * 3. The arrangement of the plot structure ** 1. * * Balance the description of the hairpin ** - In the first chapter, there was a description of the first meeting between Baoyu and Baochai. In the eighth chapter, there was a detailed description of the meeting between Baoyu and Baochai. The two balanced each other. When describing the two treasures meeting and looking at each other's psychic jade and golden lock, the plot arrangement was very appropriate, because it was related to their fate of "golden and jade marriage". 2. * * The connection between the plot ** - In this chapter, Baoyu was drunk and chased after Qianxue (although it was not explicitly mentioned in the chapter, it was added later). This plot was related to the second half of the plot. From the comments,"The Prison God Temple has a large text of Scarlet Snow and Red Jade" and "The main text of the Prison God Temple is presented only after Scarlet Snow arrives", it can be seen that the plot development of the novel is coherent and unexpected. The plot of this chapter laid the foundation for the subsequent story development. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
