1. Jia Baoyu: He was born in a rich and gentle town, but his personality was rebellious. He hangs out with girls all day, respecting and loving every girl; He is full of affection for every girl and everything in nature, that is, "lust" and "affection" He hates the economic knowledge of official career, and calls people who study for official career "Lu Wei"; I despise the eight-part essay and think that it is "just the order for future generations to catch money by bait." He hates Xue Baochai as a person and deeply respects Daiyu's chastity. After his love was shattered, he finally "gave up on the cliff" and became a monk. These reflected the germination of a new ideology in the society at that time.
Jia Baoyu, as a "rich and idle person", lived in a superior environment and refused and alienated the mainstream discourse at that time. He has his own pursuit, but this pursuit is hazy, so his energy and strength are limited. He pursues many places that conform to human nature, and there are also many strange places. Such a complex and mixed image is the unique Jia Baoyu. Just as Zhi Yanzhai commented, Jia Baoyu often said "talk in silence", that is, he often said some inexplicable words.
2. Lin Daiyu: The book shows her talent and beauty, sensitivity and suspicion, aloof and arrogant, as well as aristocratic sentiment and poet temperament.
3. Xue Baochai: She is a standard feudal "lady" who knows the book and is polite, abides by women's virtue and pays attention to family planning. She is generous, knowledgeable, considerate, pragmatic, good at being a person, good at winning people's hearts, and very popular in the Jia family.
4. Wang Xifeng: smart and capable, imposing, witty, provocative and generous, selfish and greedy, sinister and vicious. The author writes about her relationship with Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, which mainly shows that she is pleasing to both sides, so as to win their favor and consolidate her position. It not only highlights her shrewdness and snobbery, but also shows her wit, humor and boldness.
When writing about her relationship with Jia's sisters, sisters-in-law, niece and mother-in-law in Rong Ning's Second Mansion, she took a different attitude towards them, showing her scheming, selfish and deceitful personality. Writing about her relationship with Jia Lian, there are two personalities between husband and wife, namely, the love of fish and water, the change of luck and the pleasing of opportunity, and the separation of appearance and spirit and strange bedfellows. Write about her relationship with Second Sister You, and show her two-sided technique of "being a virtuous person outside, hiding a treacherous person inside". Write about her relationship with the housekeepers, handmaids and servants of the Jia family, and show her ruling means of using and suppressing abuse. Write about her relationship with the outside of Jia's house, showing her bold and reckless character.
5. Jia Mu: This old lady's character image is excellent, and she is a typical representative of China's elderly "strong woman". Mr. Ji Xueyuan called her "the first mother instrument in the history of China literature". Professor Ou Li-chuan of Taiwan Province University, on the other hand, digs out the myth of Nu Wa in the opening of A Dream of Red Mansions and regards Jia Mu as the "big mother god".
