About the characters of Yuanyang in a Dream of Red Mansions!

The following article is taken from CCTV International Lecture Room. Speaker: Zhou Siyuan Yuanyang is a special character in A Dream of Red Mansions. This is because she is Rong's "home-born daughter" and her parents are slaves. She was destined to be a slave from the moment she was born. However, because she is smart and capable and looks like a "water onion", she is deeply loved by her grandmother. But Yuanyang is kind and pure, and never plays politics. Yuanyang, despite her humble origins, is not inferior. She has her own opinions and pursuits. Facing Jia She's forced marriage, she dared to say "no" and vowed to defend her dignity as a human being. Yuanyang is the highest among the hundreds of maids in the Jia family, because she is the "chief pretty maid" who serves Jia Jiazu's grandmother. Grandmother Jia has eight maids like her, and Yuanyang ranks first. Jia Fu's rules are very big, which embodies a very important feature of China's traditional culture, that is, servants who serve their elders should be respected by the younger generation. When Yuanyang arrived at Wang Xifeng's room, both Xi-feng and Jia Lian quickly stood up and offered their seats. Xi-feng even called him "Sister Yuanyang". Actually, Xifeng should be about the same age as Yuanyang, and she is also very polite to Yuanyang. Yuanyang is more polite than other beautiful girls. What about Yuanyang? Although she has a high position, because she often has to perform certain missions on behalf of the Jia family, she is very fair, kind-hearted and selfless, so she is deeply loved by the Jia family and others. As Li Wan said, "What can I do without Yuanyang in the old lady's room? Who dares to refute the old lady's reply, starting with her wife? Since Mrs. Wang, no one dares to go out. The old lady only listens to her, and she remembers what others don't remember. If she didn't do it, I don't know how many people I cheated! The child is also fair. Even so, he often speaks well for others, but he does not bully others. " You see when Granny Liu entered the Grand View Garden, Yuanyang asked Granny Liu to play a comedy role in order to please Grandmother Jia. But have you noticed that Yuanyang didn't insult Granny Liu's personality at all? She just called her out first and made a deal with her first. Our aim is to make the old lady happy. Besides, when seeing Granny Liu off, those conversations and even a little joke with her showed that Yuanyang was a kind and pure girl.
