But a dream of red mansions is different. A Dream of Red Mansions describes the extravagant life of several families, which is much more wonderful than the extravagant life of Guli in Tiny Times. The background of each character in a dream of red mansions is described, and what patterns are engraved in the room where everyone lives, and what is particular about it. Twelve women in Jinling are very beautiful and read poetry books. In that era when others didn't even have enough to eat, we had a leisurely discussion at home every day about how to write poems. This shows that they are not only more extravagant in material life than others, but more importantly, they are also extravagant in spirit. Maybe some people really don't even know what the book was like, but they can play with it every day.
The four major families in A Dream of Red Mansions are the Xue family, the Wang family, the historian and the Jia family, and each family has its representatives. Xue Family: Xue Baochai and Xue Pan. Xue Baochai, one of the twelve women in Jinling, is brilliant and considerate. He is deeply in love with Jia Baoyu of Jiafu. And Xue Pan, it is said, is a young villain, with a strong flavor and living a luxurious and dissolute life. Wang Jia: Wang Xifeng, who is pungent, is also very ruthless. She is Jia's daughter-in-law, and manages such a big Jia family in an orderly way. Historians: Shi Taijun (Jia Mu) and Shi Xiangyun are both very generous. At that time, women spoke in a low voice, but they laughed as boldly as men and knew how to enjoy material life. A Jia family: Jia Baoyu is the protagonist. He can be said to be the star of the moon, and all the people in his family regard him as a treasure. In that patriarchal society, he has a calm heart. The appearance of each of them can be said to be the best scene to describe extravagance. The relationship between the four families is connected at different levels, and there is marriage between each family.
At that time, people's descriptions of the four families were also extremely extravagant. At that time, people described the four families like this. Xue Jiazhu is as gold as mud: heavy snow in good years, pearls as mud, and gold as iron. The Wangs are rich, which is very important: the East China Sea is short of white jade beds, so they sent someone to invite King Jinling. The stone family has a lot of money: Epang Palace, 3,000 miles away, can't live in Jinling. Position: Jia is real, the golden horse of the Tang Dynasty. Look at what a luxurious material life this is. Although A Dream of Red Mansions describes the luxurious life of four families, it is a microcosm of society at that time. These have far exceeded the small luxury of Coulee in Tiny Times, and the difference between them is hardly a world apart.
