Baochai is sophisticated, cool, and aware of current affairs.

In "A Dream of Red Mansions", Baochai rarely directly promotes and defends feudal ethics, but reflects her true personality through her words and deeds in daily life.

In life, Baochai does not reveal her true feelings like Daiyu, but often hides her secrets. On the surface, she "follows the times", "pretends to be foolish" and "rarely taciturn", and her every move appears to be "dignified and virtuous", completely in line with the feudal "lady" style. But in fact, she hopes that "the good wind will send me to the blue sky with its strength." What is concealed in her gentle and honest manner is the ambition of "wanting to repay the White Emperor." She is well versed in the world and has deep integrity. Although "in the past few years since I came to Jia's Mansion", I have been silent and content on the surface, but in fact I have been "observant". Therefore, even in the complicated and contradictory environment of Rongguo Mansion, I can still live a balanced life, like a fish in water

. Even Aunt Zhao, who had little hatred for anything, praised her: "very generous" and "good at being a good person".

"Knowing how to be a good person" is indeed Xue Baochai's character trait. This, combined with her "gentle and honest" exposed characteristics, makes her praised by everyone. Baochai's principle of "knowing how to be a good person" and "don't speak up when it's no business, shaking her head when asked and not knowing" makes her not like Daiyu who pointed out everything with harsh words, but turned a deaf ear and pretended to be a good person. I can't see it, just because I understand it in my heart. This made those feudal masters who did some shameful things in daily life praise her as "a good person". Baochai's "knowledge of being a good person" is not only reflected in his silent win over the highest ruler of the feudal class, but also in his sale of the oppressed people at the lower level of the feudal class. Jia Mu made a birthday party for her and asked her to do some drama, so she told her according to Jia Mu's usual preferences. He also mentioned the sweet and rotten food that Jia Mu liked to eat as his own favorite food. As a result, "Jia Mu liked it even more." After Mrs. Wang forced Jin Chui'er to death, when she and Xi Renkou heard the news, even Xi Ren, who had always been very servile, shed tears. However, the ruthless nature of the exploiting class made her feel "surprised" and hurriedly Leaving the attacker behind, he ran to Mrs. Wang to comfort her. Attribute all the blame to Jin Chuan'er's "confusion". She also said: "If you give her a few more taels of silver and send her away, you will be fulfilling the love of a master and a servant." In order to win over Mrs. Wang, her future mother-in-law, Baochai behaved very generously. , showing that she was not afraid of giving her own clothes to the dead slave, so she immediately went home and brought some clothes. As for the oppressed lower-level rulers of the feudal class, Baochai used Xing Xiuyan to cover up the fact that he was living in poverty to maintain the status of the feudal ruling class. She also tried to win over Daiyu and sent bird's nests and candy tablets to Daiyu who was ill. Even Aunt Zhao, a woman despised by everyone, sometimes gets a gift from Baochai, which makes her feel flattered. Encountering her talking about official career and economics in front of Baoyu, Baoyu was annoyed and ordered her to be kicked out. Baochai naturally couldn't get angry because he wanted to be "a good person", so he could only bury his efforts deep in his heart, laugh it off, and let Xi People praised her reputation for being a good person. Baochai not only knows how to be a good person, but also often uses the opportunity of "being a good person" to express her talents. Shi Xiangyun wanted to start a poetry club, but had no money, so Baochai took the opportunity to set up a business for her. Baochai told Xiangyun that he would bring things from home to treat everyone, but when he went out and asked a woman to come, he said: "Tomorrow, after dinner, I will invite the old lady and my aunt to enjoy the osmanthus flowers." On the surface, it was a great help to the poor and orphaned girl, but in fact, it was a blow to another "good relationship". She made an excuse to invite everyone, but in fact she wanted to please the feudal patriarch. She is careful in everything and arranges everything to please Jia Mu. This shows how Baochai, who "knows how to be a human being", "knows how to be a human being".

Another main character trait of Baochai is hypocrisy. Although she said that she thought the "gold and jade marriage" mentioned by monks and Taoists was nonsense, and said that wearing a heavy gold lock was boring, but in fact it was not in this way. Baoyu went to see the sick Baochai. Baochai took his jade and "turned it over again to look at it carefully" and "recited it twice". Then he blamed the maid Ying'er for not pouring tea, which made Ying'er laugh and say, "I'm with the girl." The two sentences on the collar are a pair." This just achieves the purpose of attracting Baoyu's attention.

Then he took out the boring gold lock from the big red coat inside. The same is true for Xue Baochai walking through the market with a red musk deer in a cage. Originally she didn't like pollen, wore simple clothes, and didn't like to dress up the most, but the golden lock was waiting for the jade to match, and the red musk string was given to her and Baoyu alone in Yuanchun. They are all signs of destined marriage, so this can prove that only jade can be matched. She is the one who is destined to be worthy of Baoyu. Baochai, who is hypocritical and "good at being a good person", is like this. She uses her "honest and gentle" "lady" status as a cover-up, and uses her hidden scheming to hint and please the parents of Jia's family.

However, in terms of his social status and the praise he received in people's hearts, Baochai was successful in "being a person". From this we may be able to get some inspiration. In today's rapidly changing society, if you want to deal with it smoothly, you may have to learn a few tricks from Baochai. But with every gain comes a loss, and perhaps we push our true nature. But I think that as long as we remove the dross, take the essence, and only learn the good side, it may be very helpful to us.
