I think we can think from the following points:
1. corresponds to the role.
In fact, Lin Daiyu has a name called "Rose Girl". Jia Baoyu once gave her the word "pin", but her elders didn't call her. However, Lin Daiyu is obviously not good at courtship in this grounded way, so she has always been called by Jia Fu. This is also the difference between Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.
(5) "I don't want to see a Xue Baochai suddenly coming. Although she is not old, she is square and beautiful, and many people are far behind Dai Yu. Moreover, Baochai's behavior is enlightened and keeps up with the times. She is not as arrogant as Daiyu, so she is more popular than Daiyu. Even those little girls are so happy to be with Baochai. "
Write the difference between Miss Lin and Miss Bao in the fifth paragraph. "Therefore, it is bigger than Daiyu and won the heart of servants." "There are more people than Daiyu." "Win people's hearts" and "Many people call" are obviously emphasizing "popularity". In other words, when Xue Baochai came, both "meeting" and "popularity" overwhelmed Lin Daiyu. As soon as Baochai entered the Jia family, she was deeply impressed by her kindness of "being open-minded and keeping up with the times" and her typical school of three obedience and four virtues. She is good at calculating and paving the way. She got rid of Shi Xiangyun with a "crab feast" and won the favor of Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang. He also took the initiative to send supplements to Daiyu to remind her of "operas", which eliminated Daiyu's vigilance against her and produced a good impression. Make her in the Jia family, unimpeded, won a wide range of popularity, and even "servant's heart." Daiyu, on the other hand, is aloof, self-abased, suspicious, sarcastic and not good at communicating with others, so her interpersonal relationship will naturally not be very harmonious. At that time, Zhou Rui's wife sent palace flowers to Aunt Xue and to Daiyu. Who did Daiyu ask? Zhou Rui's family said that all girls have them. Daiyu said, it must be for me. The Zhou Rui family left silently, but they actually offended others.
Xue Baochai has no airs. The girls are close to her, and they all call her Miss Bao with the Xue family, but Baochai is willing to bow to her knees and let these people call her Miss Bao. Xue Baochai is handy in secular affairs, but Lin Daiyu is dismissive. It is inevitable for Lin Daiyu to use honorific titles, while Xue Baochai uses nicknames, as you can see at a glance.
2. It conforms to the corresponding relationship between "wood and stone marriage" and "golden jade marriage".
The marriage of gold and jade and the marriage of wood and stone are a set of opposites in A Dream of Red Mansions. One is a golden lock full of wealth and beauty, and the word "treasure" is right, saying that "treasure girl" is a suitable work; One is the alliance of vegetation and rocks in previous lives. The word "forest" is a deduction, which is a clear label. The words "Lin" and "Bao" not only have their own character attributes, but also bury Baochai's love tragedy.
Cao Xueqin changed Daiyu's surname to "Lin" and lived in the light green Xiaoxiang Pavilion, where bamboo was planted and her body exuded a natural fragrance ... This means that her predecessor was a plant. How can people call her "Miss Dai" and "Miss Yu" every day? Only Miss Lin fits her identity. Lin Daiyu is a crimson fairy grass, a person of vegetation, and a person of "forest". She is also called Miss Lin just to get married with Baoyu.
What is a "forest"? Daiyu's predecessor is a "crimson pearl fairy grass" next to the Sansheng stone on the Xiling River. Because she was irrigated with nectar by the "Shen Ying waiter" in Chixia Palace every day, she began to delay the years, shed the embryo of vegetation, and transformed herself into a human body and became a female body. She wandered away from hatred all day, longing for secrets and water. Because the virtue of irrigation is not rewarded, it has a lingering meaning. When Shen Ying, the waiter, came down to earth, the crimson pearl fairy also came down to earth together, and became Lin Daiyu, giving him back all the tears in her life. Therefore, Baodai's fate is "alliance of wood and stone", Daiyu is wood and Baoyu is stone. Shuang Mu is a forest, and the forest is a forest. Calling "Mr. Lin" is constantly strengthening the existence of wood.
The word "treasure" of "Baoyu Girl" has been borrowed from Daiyu in the 22nd meditation, which is the "most precious treasure". Coupled with the fifth judgment of "gold hairpin burying snow", Baochai's word "treasure" is equivalent to the existence of "gold", which happens to form a good marriage with Baoyu.
The Xue family, from the master to the girl, are promoting "golden marriage" intentionally or unintentionally. Baoyu was born with jade, but Baochai was not born with gold. How did the topic of "good marriage" come about? In the eighth episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, Baoyu went to visit Baochai. If you look carefully, you will find that gold and jade are the first topics that Baochai caused. Baochai said first that she wanted to see the jade worn by Baoyu. According to the truth, a young lady like Baochai should not ask for it. Baochai said with a smile, "I want to see this jade. People in Japan say you haven't appreciated it carefully." As he spoke, he came closer. Baochai not only has the desire to see, but also has the corresponding action: to get closer. Baochai had seen Baoyu's jade and looked at it carefully. It stands to reason that this operation should end here. However, this matter is not over yet. After reading it, Baochai looked at it from the front and said, "Don't forget, don't forget, the fairy Heng Chang." After reading it twice, he turned to Yinger and said with a smile, "Why are you still standing here staring blankly?" Yingying giggled and said, "I think these two sentences are a pair with those on the girl's collar." Hearing this, Baoyu quickly smiled and said, "There are eight words on my sister's collar. I also appreciate it. " What is a maid? They are intimate friends of young ladies and know best what young ladies need. The critical moment is also the messenger of matchmaking. For example, The Matchmaker in The West Chamber, Spring Fragrance in Peony Pavilion and, of course, Xue Baochai's Huang. Without them, the play can't go on. From Baoyu's jade to Baochai's gold, this incident is full of deliberate and artificial traces. "Mushi Meng Qian" and "Yu Jin Liang Yuan" are deeply engraved in their names.
In a word, the word "Bao" in "Baoshantou" hides a good marriage, and the word "Lin" in "Miss Lin" represents the former wood-stone alliance. Many people in the Jia family call it that. In fact, Cao Xueqin is constantly hinting at the marriage between Baoyu and Baochai.
3. The difference between distance and closeness.
"Miss Lin" sounds like a sense of respect for people, but "Lin" inevitably emphasizes the special status of Lin Daiyu's granddaughter and implies a sense of identity. And "Miss Bao", who has no surname, is called by her first name, but she seems to be kind and decent, like calling her family.
Jia Mu called Xue Baochai "Miss Xue" or "Miss Bao", Mrs. Wang was both "Miss Bao" and Wang Xifeng called Xue Baochai "Sister Xue". The three appellations represent the closeness of three generations of Jia's daughter-in-law to Xue Baochai. Mrs. Jia called Lin Daiyu "Yuer" or "Miss Lin", while Mrs. Wang called her "Miss Lin". Wang Xifeng seldom uses her own address, but she and Lin Daiyu exchange curses like this. Behind Miss Lin, Jia Fu supported her and agreed to marry Jia Baoyu. Xiao Si Xinger said, "This must be Miss Lin's decision.". Therefore, what Jia said is that "two moons" represent a pair. Wannabe's private thoughts may be more approachable treasure girls. Aroma said Jia Baoyu, "Who wants to separate from this one?" Miss Bao and Baoyu are also a couple. The attitudes of Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng represent the complicated position of Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu in the Jia family.
Mrs. Wang naturally hopes that the next generation will call Lin Daiyu Miss Lin and Xue Baochai Miss Bao, not Miss Xue. This is the difference between her and her address. In a subtle way, it will guide the whole Guo Rong government to treat Sister Lin as a guest and Baochai as a relative, which will pave the way for Baochai to marry Jia Jia and the housekeeper in the future. In addition, Mrs. Wang's attention to these two "Bao Er" shows that she is more supportive of the marriage of gold and jade, which is her intention to lend it to others. In the end, what everyone chose for Jia Baoyu was "golden jade and good marriage".
4. In order to distinguish appellations.
According to statistics, there are more than 400 famous surnames in A Dream of Red Mansions. If everyone simply calls them by their surnames, it will be monotonous and easy to repeat, not to mention the protagonists such as Baochai. One is Alin Daiyu, and the other is Xue Baochai, which reflects each other. If the appellation is still Miss Lin and Miss Xue, it is not smart enough. It would be boring to have another Miss Shi and Miss Xing, but it would be more lively to call Miss Lin and Miss Bao. In fact, Zuo Zongtang also tried his best to give them nicknames, such as Jia Baoyu, which is actually just his nickname. His name should come from the characters beside the jade characters, such as Jia Zhen, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian, all of which are jade characters; As soon as Lin Daiyu entered the Jia family, Baoyu named her "raised eyebrow", followed by "raised eyebrow" and "Miss Lin".
In addition, it is not appropriate to call Lin Daiyu a "jade girl". There are many women named after jade in A Dream of Red Mansions, including Lin Daiyu, Lin Hongyu, Yu Guan, Yu Chuaner, Miao Yu, etc ... So many jade, called "jade girl", obviously can't tell people apart, and I don't know who they are calling. As a verbal address, it is a failure. As feng said, "all this seems to be.
Many people here may ask, since the appellation is different, why didn't Daiyu call her Miss Dai and Xue Baochai called her Miss Xue? This leads to the fifth point.
5. Language habits.
I don't think there is anything wrong with Lin Daiyu's name being Miss Lin. But if you call her "Miss Dai", it sounds like a "dull girl", but it seems that this person is very dull, sounds very unpleasant, and does not conform to Daiyu's temperament, so she is not used to it. It would be even more ridiculous if Baoyu wears a sister on his left and a sister on his right every day. Similarly, if Baochai is called a hairpin girl or a hairpin girl, it sounds uncomfortable and awkward. More importantly, hairpin is a kind of jewelry, which is a bit tacky to call! In the same way, it is no problem for Shi Xiangyun to call Miss Yun, and it is no problem for Xue Baoqin to call Miss Qin. But if Shi Xiangyun is called Miss Hunan and Baoqin is called Miss Bao, it is wrong. One sounds awkward and the other repeats with Baochai.
6. The difference between Manchu and Han.
Manchu people don't give their surnames, but take them as "leaders' names" and those with duplicate names as "leaders' names". At the beginning of A Dream of Red Mansions, it is said that "the dynasty age cannot be tested", but the writing style is full of vulgarity. For example, in A Dream of Red Mansions, Xue Baochai came to Beijing as a candidate, but she did not know that the Manchu flag system had been broken. All the daughters of flag bearers are eligible to be elected as female teachers and become queens, so what is certain is that the Xue family is undoubtedly a flag bearer.
As for the names of people, the address habit of Han people is to take the surname, and the address after the surname depends on the relationship between the two people. It is disrespectful to take a surname. But Manchu people call people "first names", not surnames. Those who have the same name are given one name, such as Lian Sir, Bao Sir, Huan Sir and Rong Grandma. So for Lin Daiyu, it is a habit of Han people to call her "Miss Lin"; For Xue Baochai, it is Manchu custom to call her "Bao Girl". Shi Xiangyun is also called "Miss Yun" and "Miss Shi Da" because, according to Mr. Zhou's research, Jinling historian and Suzhou Weaving Li are Han people who have served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a long time. Therefore, it is a custom of China people to call "Normal University Girl", while "Cloud Girl" is a custom full of people in the inner government.
7. Family factors.
Although the Xue family is an imperial businessman, in the final analysis, they are very rich businessmen, and their political status is the lowest among the four families. As the saying goes, "Don't tell short stories in front of dwarfs", a young lady who has not married into a rich family has unlimited possibilities in her future. Your family name is Jia Fu, and you call her Xue Jia's daughter, whose political status is not as good as yours. Aren't you reminding her of her last name? A little rude. Calling the girl "Bao" completely avoided embarrassment, and both the host and the guest were relieved, which was the result of etiquette.
As mentioned in the second chapter, the Liehou of Lins IV has a deep foundation, and Lin Ruhai was hand-picked by the salt patrol empire. A word "Lin" is a symbol of identity and status. Of course, it is also a respect for his family status. Judging from the content of the story. Lin Daiyu is the daughter of the Hou family, and her rank is similar to that of the Jia family. Besides, her father, Lin Ruhai High School, personally visited the Salt Empire, which was quite remarkable. Besides, Lin Ruhai has only such a baby, and the teachers are all Jinshi'm, which is obvious. Although she is only a girl, she is extremely expensive, talented and distinguished, and she is the darling of the Jia family. Such a girl must be given considerable respect, and calling her by her surname is respect for the Lins.
To sum up, the names and daily addresses of several protagonists are not random, but have great language stress. Different appellations of characters are not only a part of characters' personalities, but also indirectly show the warm and cold attitudes of people around them, showing complex interpersonal relationships. The appellation seems simple, but it conveys a lot of information behind it. There is not only blood relationship, but also inferiority, and there is also a gap between generosity and generosity, which represents human snobbery. Cao Xueqin's greatness is not only reflected in the outstanding structure of macro masterpieces, but also in the ingenious thinking of details.
