1. Jia Baoyu

The protagonist Jia Baoyu is a strange and vulgar character. The main trait that makes up his character is rebellion. His behavior was "remote and eccentric" and he was a rebel in feudal society. He despised fame and wealth, and was unwilling to pursue an official career of "learning and becoming an official." He hated "eight-legged stereotypes" and insulted those who studied and became officials as "national thieves and cowards" and was too lazy to contact and visit them.

He does not like so-called "serious books", but prefers "miscellaneous books", especially "The Peony Pavilion" and "The Romance of the West Chamber". He also boldly questioned Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, believing that "except for the Four Books, there are too many fabrications." This fully demonstrated that he was a "treason" of the feudal monarchy system.

He believed that "the beauty of mountains, rivers, sun and moon is only appreciated by daughters, while men are nothing but dregs and turbidity." Under the guidance of this shocking thought, Baoyu "hangs around in the closet" all day long, and loves and pities girls, loves their beauty, purity, overflowing vitality, extraordinary intelligence, and pities their misfortunes. Having pity on the man who is about to marry into a filthy man has lost their holy beauty. Jia Baoyu said: Before a woman gets married, she is a pearl. After she gets married, she loses her light and becomes a dead pearl. No matter how old she gets, she will join the ranks of dirty men and become a dead fish-eye. He even felt irreparable regret that he was born a man.

In his life, the most important thing was undoubtedly his love with Lin Daiyu. This love, on the one hand, started with his rebellious character, and on the other hand, it contributed to the final formation of his rebellious character. This was the greatest and most important act of rebellion in the history of his life. Bao and Dai not only demanded independence in marriage, but also deviated from the feudal society's way of life in their love. They went further and further on the road of rebellion, which eventually led to their tragic ending.

2. Lin Daiyu

Lin Daiyu is a talented but aloof woman. "It is a pity that she has a virtue of idleness, but she is pitiful for her talents. A jade belt hangs in the forest, and a golden hairpin is buried in the snow." , is her portrayal. She lost her parents when she was a child and lived in Rongguo Mansion. Although Jia Mu loved her very much, she often felt sad because of her aloof and self-respecting personality.

She is sentimental and often sheds tears over small things that others don't notice. As described in the novel, the scene of "Daiyu burying flowers" highlights this point. The blooming and fading of flowers is a natural scene, but it reminded her of the joys and sorrows of life, as well as the impermanence of gatherings and separations. She sighs for the falling flowers, takes Baoyu as her confidant, reads "The Romance of the West Chamber" together, and places all her hopes in life on Baoyu. She loves Baoyu deeply, but finds it difficult to get her wish. As a result, she felt sorry for herself because she tried to fight for her position but failed many times, and cried secretly in a place where no one was around.

Her inner world seems elusive, but she often reveals it to the outside. If Baoyu "offended" her, she would be angry, burst into tears, and even fall ill because of him. It looked like this on the surface, but in fact, she was still thinking about him, so she made an excuse to go see him. When Baoyu became ill, she was sad and cried for him. However, due to the constraints of feudal ethics and ethics, she was not allowed to express her feelings and had no choice but to do so. Eventually, she died of depression on the day Baochai left the cabinet, unable to fulfill her wish.

Cao Xueqin deeply loves Lin Daiyu in his novel, everything about her, her smiles and tears, her joy and sorrow. It is precisely because of this deep-rooted love that he performed Daiyu's infatuation for Baoyu so beautifully and deeply, creating a dazzling character for the world who has "more heart than body" and is anti-feudal ethics. image.

3. Wang Xifeng

There is another unique character in Rong Mansion, she is Wang Xifeng. Everyone knows Wang Xifeng's insidious nature. As the "general manager" of Rong Mansion, she wields power and is duplicitous. She used poisonous tricks to kill Jia Rui, and also conspired to force Sanjie You to death. She had a mean and mean nature, which ended up harming the whole family. She has a fierce personality, and this is clearly pointed out in every part of the article. For example, on her birthday, she fought desperately with the slut and asked the old lady for help, which is enough to show. But after all, she is very capable, and she has the final say in all matters in the Rong Mansion. She is also good at catering to Jia Mu, and is deeply favored by the old lady. And he was jealous because of it.

4. Xue Baochai

Butterflies are flying around the courtyard, fluttering several times in the warm east wind. The shadow of the fan shakes the jade wrist, and the powder traces slantly wet the fragrant cheeks. How can I hide and catch them just for fun in games? It's strange that they have been whispering in the pavilion for a long time, and they suddenly opened the window to prevent anyone from opening it. Xue Baochai plays an important role in "A Dream of Red Mansions". She is the guardian of various feudal rituals and suffers from them herself. She has a good relationship with people at home and is loved by the audience.

Her character includes Wang Xifeng's tact, Lin Daiyu's caution, and her feudal-bound thoughts that are completely opposite to Jia Baoyu. For example, in every forty-eight chapters, Aunt Xue said: "... Ying'er is alone and is not enough to serve you, so don't buy a girl to serve you." Baochai said: "I don't know the details of the purchase. If I am mistaken, I will spend money." No matter how small it is, there is no need to be naughty. I slowly asked around and found out if someone knew the origin, I would just buy it back. 〃This shows her caution in handling things. Another example is when Xiang Ling said to Baochai: "I originally wanted to tell my wife that when I go away, I will go with the girl to accompany you. I also thought that my wife may be too worried and say that I am greedy for playing in the garden. Who knows that you Baochai said with a smile: "I know that you are envious of this garden. It's not just a day or two, but you don't have time..., so I will take advantage of the opportunity to keep you company for more than one year." Yes, it also suits your heart. 〃This shows that Baochai understands the hearts of his family members and is tactful. In short, Xue Baochai was a man deeply bound by feudalism.
