On the first Dragon Boat Festival after Yuan Chun was crowned concubine, she did two things, one was to "send one hundred and twenty taels of silver." It is called to play three days of peace and tranquility from the first day of the first month to the third day of the first month of the Qing Void Temple, and sing the opera to make offerings", and the second is to give the Dragon Boat Festival. Just because the Dragon Boat Festival Baoyu's "same as the treasure girl's", not only the Baoyu in the book does not understand, but the readers outside the book are also talking about it, and the most mainstream voice is "Yuan Chun intends to give marriage, indicating that she supports the marriage of Jin Yu".
The reason why this voice has become the mainstream and widely circulated is because many readers position the main theme of the Red Chamber as a dispute between "wood and stone" and "golden jade", believing that Yuan Chun betrayed her grandmother who had personally raised her and favored her mother, so she took the opportunity to support "golden jade" by giving the Dragon Boat Festival.
Regardless of whether the main theme of the Red Chamber is the dispute between "wood and stone" and "golden jade", judging from the various descriptions of Yuan Chun in the original work, her marriage grant is inconsistent and unreasonable. If you must force an explanation, it can only be explained that she is bullying others.
Yuan Chun has high hopes for Bao Yu, and logically she hopes that Bao Yu can marry a wife with eunuch resources.
Although Yuan Chun and Bao Yu are brothers and sisters, because of the large age difference, the book says that although their names are sisters and brothers, their situation is like mother and son." As the eldest sister of the fourth generation of Jia Fu, Yuan Chun not only grew into a high-quality woman of "virtuous filial piety and virtue" under the education of Shi Li, but also paid attention to the cultivation of her younger brother Baoyu. "Before that Baoyu entered the hall, when he was three or four years old, he was already passed on by Concubine Jia and taught several books and thousands of words in his belly." This Yuan Chun is equivalent to Baoyu's enlightenment teacher.
Yuan Chun's entry into the palace was not her own will, but entirely for the sake of the family. For the sake of the family's future, she had to give up the life of "peace and honor", "go to that place where no one can see", trembling and carefully step by step to the position of imperial princess.
Affected by the current film and television dramas, many readers think that the imperial princess means power and enjoyment, but in fact, on the contrary, the higher the position, the heavier the responsibility. If the previous Yuan Chun was a worried family, then, after becoming an imperial concubine, she became worried about the world.
This can be seen in her performance when she is in the province.
When he was in the province, Yuan Chun originally changed baoyu's proposed "Daoxiang Village" to "Huange Mountain Villa", but because of Daiyu's writing, "A spring leek green, ten miles of rice flowers." There is no hunger in the prosperous world, why should we be busy with farming and weaving", And Yuan Chun changed back to "Daoxiang Village".
This change fully reflects the general pattern of Yuan Chun's worries about the world: as a royal, his responsibility and mission is to create a comfortable environment for the people that "there is no hunger in the prosperous world, why should we cultivate and weave".
Yes, all the years are quiet, and someone is carrying the weight forward. The people's years are quiet, and they are all moving forward with the burden of the government.
Yuan Chun personally taught Baoyu and knew that Baoyu was "smart and wise, and it is slightly promising". Jia Fu can have a hundred years of "hehe Yangyang", it is precisely because the ancestor Ning Rong Ergong was worried about the world and created a prosperous world, so "I still know Li Shu remembers Ning Rong", and the people are grateful to the Ergong. However, the Gentleman's Ze, the third and the decline, the fifth and the beheading, the Yuan Chun Baoyu sister and brother happen to be in the fourth generation, shouldering the historical mission of inheriting the past and the future. That is to say, if the fourth generation does not work hard, then the fifth generation and the beheading is an inevitable fate. If the fourth generation is willing to work hard, then it can also use the shadow of the ancestors to make the family prosper again, so that it can better "assist the country and govern the people".
This is the mission entrusted to Baoyu by history, and he is exceptionally "intelligent and wise" to undertake this mission.
Therefore, when Yuan Chun was in the province, in the case of such a short time, he also had to take a long time to examine Baoyu in person, "so that I had an interview, and Fang did not live up to the painstaking heart of my professor since childhood."
Pay attention to this "painstaking heart of the professor since childhood", it can be seen that Yuan Chun had the heart to educate Bao Yu to become a talent.
At this point, it is not difficult for us to see that Yuan Chun has high hopes for Baoyu.
As mentioned earlier, as the fourth generation of Baoyu, you can use the remnants of the ancestors, and this yuyin includes human resources. That is to say, compared with self-made, Baoyu has a higher starting point and is easier to achieve success, as long as it is good at taking advantage of unique conditions.
Marriage is the most effective way to integrate resources.
We might as well participate in Bao Yu's brother Jia Zhu. From the information revealed in the book, it can be seen that Jia Zhu is also a "smart and wise" person who is expected to assume the responsibility of the ZTE family. Therefore, in terms of marriage, he married Li Feng, who was from the Poetry Book clan, and his father was "once a wine supervisor for the sons of the country", and the young talents were mostly his students. Of course, most of these young talents are also the children of officials and eunuchs. Jia Zhu has this resource, and in the future, he will enter the career path, and there are his own people everywhere, and it is easier to find the same people who "assist the country and govern the people" from it.
Therefore, if Yuan Chun has the opportunity to participate in Baoyu's marriage proposal, she must hope that Baoyu can marry an official lady with very good reputation and resources, and can help Baoyu to the greatest extent.
According to this standard, baochao and daiyu were not considered by Yuan Chun.
If Yuan Chun chooses BaoChao because he gave up Baoyu, he is bullying people.
Yuan Chun gave the Dragon Boat Festival, which occurred in the year of her concubine, just over three months away from the provincial family. The book does not write about the results of Yuanchun's interview with Baoyu when she was in the province, and judging from the follow-up performance, she is likely to see from Baoyu's poems that Baoyu really has no intention of career and only loves to "mix inside", so she completely gave up her expectations for Baoyu. Since he only wants to make a broken jar, let him break it, you can't force it.
It is necessary to emphasize that Yuan Chun's interview with Baoyu can be seen as a temple test in the general sense. Historically, the last procedure of the imperial examination is the palace examination, which is written by the emperor himself, and the candidates answer on the spot. Such an examination is not a examination of literature, but of thinking, especially depending on the governing strategy and ideological realm embodied in the article. People with literary talent do not necessarily know how to govern the country, and people with high talent may not be able to become officials.
The poems written by Bao Yu are full of fat powder, and they are really mud that cannot be supported. Therefore, soon after, Yuan Chun arranged Baoyu into the Grand View Garden, so he let him play as much as he wanted, and did not hold out hope.
In this state of mind, she may retreat to the second place on the issue of Baoyu's marriage match, but if she uses the way of giving gifts to marry, she will be suspected of bullying.
Marriage by imperial power seems to be grace, but in fact it is coercion, that is, it cannot be opposed. Some people will say that the Xue family has always preached the "golden and jade marriage", and has long wanted to fight the idea of Baoyu, Yuan Chun gave marriage, it is right in the middle, it is too late to be happy, which will oppose it?
It seems reasonable, but in fact it doesn't make sense, because it doesn't fit Yuan Chun's style of doing things.
Yes, looking at a person's words and deeds, it is necessary to judge according to his character characteristics and conduct. Yuan Chun had already determined in her heart that Baoyu was a piece of mud that could not be supported by the wall, and with her behavior of worrying about the world, how could she use her power to stuff the mud to others? Even if the other person wants it, it should not be given. This is the bottom line that a principled person should stick to: if you are your business, you use your legitimate channels to obtain, and I cannot help you with privilege.
That is to say, if the Xue family really wanted to marry Baoyu, Yuan Chun would only stay out of the matter and would not participate. Because at this time, she was not only Baoyu's sister, she was also the Imperial Princess. In her heart, she was filled with the people of the world, not a small Jia Fu. Jia Fu's housework, there are grandmothers and parents in the church, where can she allow one of her grandchildren to speak? In addition, from the performance of the provincial relatives, it can be seen that Yuan Chun has always wanted to treat her family with family etiquette, indicating that she does not want to participate in family affairs as an imperial princess.
This is also where we need to pay special attention to when reading the Red Chamber, that is, the transformation of identity and the sense of boundaries. The relationship between Yuan Chun and Jia Fu is both a monarch and a family, when should it appear as a jun, when should it appear as a family member, if Yuan Chun is not clear, it is not "virtuous filial piety". From the perspective of the family, Baoyu's marriage can't be said by her sister. If she must forcibly interfere as a jun at this time, it is to bully others, deprive her parents of their rights, ignore her grandmother's feelings, and even give people a handle, and force the "Chaos Demon King" who knows that he has no appearance to the Xue family who has no father.
Therefore, from any point of view, Yuan Chun will not give marriage in the form of a festival ceremony. In the author's pen, Yuan Chun is a person with a great personality, whether she is the eldest sister or the imperial concubine, she deserves the evaluation of "virtuous filial piety and virtue", and is a model for women in that era. Imposing marriage on her seriously degraded her personality and blasphemy against her.
