Born with the title of psychic Baoyu, he is the grandson of Jia Fuyu, so he was named Jia Baoyu, and Jia Fu is known as Master Bao. He is the only male resident of Daguanyuan's daughter country.
Jia Baoyu was deeply loved by the grandmother since he was a child. He wandered in a gentle and rich country and devoted himself to raising powder. His sisters and maids at home were honored. He and Lin Daiyu, childhood friends, became bosom friends and developed into a rare pure love in the world. He valued affection over ceremony and made friends with Qin Zhong, Liu Xianglian, King Jing and other sentient beings. He likes temperament literature such as poetry, music, and fu, and hates four books and eight essays and critical Neo-Confucianism, calling those feudal literati who pursue the imperial examination and official career economy "Lv Kun". However, "for a moment, I am extremely sad and people cannot change." The clean daughters he loved died and dispersed; Under the family arrangement, she married Xue Baochai in a muddle, which led to Lin Daiyu's tearful death. After experiencing the pain of property seizure, he became more and more crazy and stupid.
