What is the definition of the characters' names in A Dream of Red Mansions?

There are many characters in A Dream of Red Mansions. Cao Xueqin pays great attention to the personality of the characters when he is named, and his words are strange and literal. Some of them are bird names, some are flower names, and some are orbs and jade articles, which are rich and elegant. The names or words of many people, or the names of several people together, are of great significance. Some hint at the fate of the characters, some are metaphors of plot development, some summarize some characteristics of the characters, some are wonderful satires on the characters' behavior, some are some hints of the characters' stories, and so on. At first, the stories of the four families were told from far and near, from outside to inside, through granny Liu in Leng Zixing, Jia Yucun, Zhen Shiyin. No matter whether Jia Jia or Zhen Jia in Jiangnan, the stories told by these four people were "true (Zhen) fake (Jia) difficult (⑴) to stay (Liu)", which meant the tragic end of the four families' crushing defeat. Another example is Baoyu, Daiyu, Baochai and Miaoyu. These are the four main characters in the book, and they have complicated relationships. Cao Xueqin's name is painstaking. Chai and Dai are related to women's dressing, and they represent two different types of feudal girls. The word "Baoyu" is divided into two, and the word "Bao" is connected with "Chai" to become Baochai; The word "jade" is connected with the word "Dai" and becomes Daiyu. This design, to a certain extent, sums up the plot in A Dream of Red Mansions: Baoyu was originally in love with Daiyu, but ended up marrying Baochai. Miaoyu and Baoyu are very similar in thought and character, so both of them have the word "jade", and Miaoyu has become a mirror of Baoyu. The names in A Dream of Red Mansions use a lot of homophones. For example, Zhen Shiyin and Jia Yucun can be understood as "the truth is hidden" and "the village of false words", which is similar to the disclaimer that "this story is pure fiction, and if there is any similarity, it is pure coincidence" in modern novels or TV series. Jia Zheng is a hypocrite who is full of "benevolence, righteousness and morality". Jia Baoyu is a "fake Baoyu" and a "real stone" with rebellious spirit. Jia Lian's name directly exposed its essence of "false honesty" and was a shameless dissolute. Wang Xifeng is a woman who "wastes" for (words and disposition), "rhinoceros" and "front". In addition, some people interpret the first words of the four sisters "Yuan Chun, Ying Chun, Tan Chun and Xi Chun" as "original sighs" and lament their short youth, while others interpret these four words as "analysis of the reasons", which is probably to analyze the reasons for the decline of feudal society until its demise! As for the "Miaoyu" mentioned above, it is the jade in the temple, which shows her identity and was originally a monk. Qin Keqing is "affectionate (affectionate)", Feng Yuan is "aggrieved" and Xiren is the "person" of "Xi" Zi (Jiang Yuhan). Pinger is a vase (decoration), Qin Zhong is also a kind of love, preaching the world is not a person, Zhan Guang is a light, and the place name "Qinggeng Peak" is a peak of love. A Dream of Red Mansions has become a monument in the history of China literature that no one can surpass so far because of its broad and profound content coverage, and only a little interest has been touched. The homophony of characters' names Many characters' names in the book have special meanings, either satire or exclamation, which is one of the arts of a dream of red mansions. The approval of Zhi Yanzhai indicates some hidden meanings. Zhen Shiyin-the real story is hidden (going) to Zhen Yinglian-I really should have pity on Huo Qi-it's a disaster for Jia Yucun-it's a good luck to have a beautiful apricot-it's a good luck for Feng Yuan-it's a pity for Qin Keqing-it's a pity for Qin Zhong-it's a feeling for Zhan Guang-it's a shame for Bo Shiren-it's not a fool-it's a real fool, Yuan Chun, Ying Chun, Tan Chun, Cherish the spring-should sigh Jia Shi Wang Xue-false history waste snow Jia Hua-false single employment-good at deceiving Zhui Er-redundant son Indigo-pad son Dai Quan-powerful Zhang Youshi-Zhang Youshi has something to do with Qin Ye-love evil Jia Zheng, Jia Jing-prude Jia Lian-false honesty Heng Wu Garden-hate missed Jia Yucun Qin Keqing (affectionate) welcomes Yuan to explore and cherish (should sigh) a thousand red caves (cry) Wan Yan Tongbei (sad) Bo Shiren (not human) gourd (confused) litchi (detached) jade belt forest (Lin Daiyu) round (edge) Heng Wu Yuan (hate missed) Qinggeng (emotional root) Shili Street Huo Qi (disaster) Feng Su (custom) Zhang Rugui (Zhang Rugui) Feng Yuan (injustice) Yu Lao (foolish old man) Yu Xin (foolish nature) Qin Zhong (affection) Zhan Guang (exposure) single-handedly hired Ren (cheating) Wu Xindeng (no star) Dai Liang (large amount) Qian Hua (money) If other people's names are carefully considered, many of them indicate the character or fate of the characters. If you consider the homophony of the following names, you can see their fate and character. Yinglian---------it's fate that deserves pity. Jia Yucun's surname is Jia Minghua-that's a lie. When words fly-it really caused a lot of trouble. Zhen Shiyin's family, Huo Qi-not only lost Yinglian, but also caught fire-which made Zhen Shiyin's family burn down. Zhen Shiyin's girl Jiao Xing-really lucky, because I turned around, I became a master. Married to Yucun, Fuzheng soon gave birth to a child. Ningfu and Rongfu are even more restless, and those who are honored are not honored. Feng Yuan is really wronged. He was killed for a girl. A thousand red caves-cry, Wan Yan drinks the same cup-sadness. Qin Zhong is even more of a lover. Zhan Guang is really------it's a good liar to be single-minded. Baoyu can't keep jade, and Daiyu didn't bring jade. The homonym of names in A Dream of Red Mansions-"After ten years of lost textual research, I won the nightmare name of the Red Chamber." There are hidden organs everywhere in A Dream of Red Mansions, which is full of implications and provides the best material for textual research fans. Cao Xueqin wrote A Dream of Red Mansions without clever thinking everywhere. All descriptions start from shaping the characters and even naming them. The names or words of many people, or the names of several people together, are of great significance. Some hint at the fate of the characters, some are metaphors of plot development, some summarize some characteristics of the characters, some are wonderful satires on the characters' behavior, some are some hints of the characters' stories, and so on. It is quite interesting to play it carefully. Shortly after the opening of A Dream of Red Mansions, Cao Xueqin made up a myth about a barren mountain with a ridiculous cliff and a green ridge peak, so that the empty Taoist could see the story of "Brother Shi" who had been brought into the world of mortals for many years. The story of "dynasty age, land and country" was "lost without examination" and "had no interference with the times". This is Mr. Xue Qin's deliberate use of "false village words (Jia Yucun)" to hide the truth (Zhen Shiyin) in order to avoid the literary inquisition. ..... The stories of the four families were told from far and near, from the outside to the inside, through granny Liu of Zhen Shiyin, Jia Yucun and Leng Zixing. Regardless of Jia family or Zhen family in Jiangnan, the stories told by these four people are "true and false", which means that several families are finally defeated. In the dreamland, Fairy Fairy asked Baoyu to drink "a thousand red caves" for tea and "a cup with Wan Yan" for wine. In fact, it means that the Jia family was "as good as eating birds and throwing them into the forest, and the land was so clean"; The whole daughter of the Red Chamber has no happy ending in the end: "A thousand red flowers cry" and "Wan Yan shares the same sorrow"! Zhen Fei, the word Shi Yin. Jiao Xing, the maid of his family, was "a great person because I look back". Yucun became his wife after she made her fortune, and later became the first lady, which was really a "fluke". Shiyin's daughter Yinglian, the apple of Zhen's eye, was held by Huo Qi, a servant, to see the lamp at midnight snack and abducted by a kidnapper. From then on, the house was burned, and Shiyin became a monk. Yinglian was sold to Feng Yuan by a kidnapper when she was 12 or 13 years old, and then to Xue Pan by a kidnapper. One woman and two girls were sold to each other, and Xue Pan killed Feng Yuan. Jia Yucun bent the law and made a random judgment on the case, and Feng Yuan was always "wronged". Yinglian was bought by Xue Pan and became Xue Pan's concubine. Later, she was renamed "Xiangling" and later renamed "Qiuling" by Xia Jingui. With the warm fragrance of the cold autumn, the painting scene of "water dries up and mud dries up, lotus withers and lotus roots fail" in the judgment is completed, and the inevitable tragic ending of "true sympathy" is achieved. Even can't protect his own daughter, Yinglian's father Zhen Fei "really (is) waste (things)". Baoyu's sister, Yuan Chun, went to visit the spring and cherish the spring. Yuan Chun was "in that shady place", and later, "the tiger and rabbit met and dreamed of returning home", and she died when she was young; Only one year after Yingchun married Sun Shaozu, she was humiliated to be "as gorgeous as a willow" and "as obscene as a daughter of a government". Poor Spring Festival "golden boudoir flowers and willow quality, a load to the pipe"; Tanchun only knew people, but later, "a sail with three thousand winds and rains, throwing the home of the same flesh and blood together", shed tears and married far away; Xichun became a nun, because "it didn't last long to discover the three spring scenes, and Ziyidun changed her makeup to the previous year". The fate of the four sisters should sigh! Wang Xifeng helped Granny Liu, whose daughter was named "Qiaojie". After Afeng's defeat, Qiaojie was abducted by her wicked and smoking uncle Wang Ren, who was really "forgetful"! Qiaojie was later redeemed by Grandma Liu, who never forgot Xifeng's kindness. It was really "a coincidence to meet a benefactor." Jia Yucun's name, table words fly. He's ungrateful, when he's down, he's bent the law for favoritism, and it's not an exaggeration to mock his "reality". Birds of a feather flock together. The old employee who was dismissed with Jia Yucun and then reused was named Zhang Rugui ("like a ghost"). Qin Keqing, with a beautiful birth name, has a clear word. Its "beauty" is the beauty of both Daiyu and Baochai. Baochai is harmonious, and Daiyu is aloof; Baochai is broad and flat, and Daiyu is sharp; When Baochai followed her, Daiyu had no dust under her eyes; Treasure chai hides, Dai jade dew; Baochai Qu, Daiyu Zhi; In terms of appearance and manners, Baochai is plump and Daiyu is thin; Baochai is strong and Daiyu is weak; Baochai is steady and Daiyu is graceful. And ke Qing "is bright and charming, and seems to be Baochai;" "It's as charming as Daiyu's." It is ke Qing who can have both the beauty of Bao Dai and Bao Dai. Those who can be dear are also "amiable". Therefore, when the police fantasy sexually enlightened Baoyu, it was to let Ke Qing and Baoyu cooperate as the plum job. Pinger has a smooth personality, balancing between Jia Lian and Xifeng, and at the same time shutting out many contradictions and troubles caused by Lian Feng and skillfully resolving them. Therefore, those who are flat are "flat (balanced)"; If you are flat, you will "stop". Jia Zheng, serious all day, full of benevolence and morality; The incompetence of managing the family led to Jia's defeat; Being an official was also a failure, and he released Jiangxi's route for providing foodstuff, and the next one was Hu Wei. Educating Baoyu was never encouraging, rigid, harsh and unsmiling, and always appeared as strict father. It's just that Baoyu is not good, and he doesn't say a good word when he is good. And he often "sticks out" and "should fight!" "even worse". It is such an embodiment of orthodox feudal ethics, but it happened that he liked Aunt Zhao, who was so vulgar, and even raised a ring that was full of bad things, tricky and dirty. Really is a "false positive (classics)"! Look at the hanger-on "xianggong" around him. They are either "obsessed (Zhan Guang)", "good at deceiving people (single-hired people)" or "shameless (Bo Guxiu)". His manager in charge of the warehouse is a "star-less" (Wu Xindeng). Can the warehouse be managed well? Xue Pan, a famous idiot, read Tang Yin as Geng Huang, and writing poems will only make flies and mosquitoes hum blindly, but the word is "Wenlong". Why is there "Wen"? What a surprise! It's just a "literary worm" Lai Shangrong, the son of Lai Da, became an official with the help of his master Jia Jia and made a fortune. He was completely "proud of relying on his master". "Green Ridge Peak" is "Love Root Peak". Qin Zhong is also a lover. ..... Note: (1) "Guang Yun": cold, difficult, similar in sound, and can be connected. I found a lot of information, and the following is just one of the references
