Unparalleled Elegance: The Red Mansion: Fate to the Red Mansion (4) Jia Yuanchun

"New Three Talents Start" Jia Yuanchun

Jia Yuanchun is the eldest daughter of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, and the eldest granddaughter of Jia Mu. She was born in the first month of the lunar month, hence her name Yuanchun. She was trained by Jia Mu since she was a child. She was virtuous and kind. Later, she was selected as a female official in the palace and was immediately named a virtuous concubine. When he was enjoying the great favor, Jia Yuanchun was specially allowed to return home to visit his relatives. To this end, the Jia family invested heavily in building the Grand View Garden, a villa for the relatives. In the garden, there are pavilions, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, which are extremely luxurious and extravagant. Yuanchun felt it was too wasteful.

The episode of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" in which the Lunar New Year wedding is held is a climax in the drama. It not only shows the beauty and magnificence of the Grand View Garden, but also the extreme atmosphere of the festival celebrations of aristocratic families. In the play, through the complicated etiquette of visiting relatives, people can understand the graceful, luxurious and orderly microcosm of the Chinese emperor's family. Yuanchun represents the nobility of the royal family and also brings the royal style.

Yuanchun brought great prosperity to the Jia family, and her fate also affected the rise and fall of the entire family. Yuanchun was still in her prime when she entered the palace, but she was already a member of the royal family when she was elected to the palace. She could not fully enjoy the happiness of living with her family, brothers and sisters. She and the Jia mothers "cry and say a word", describing the palace as "a place that is ultimately boring and not allowed to see people".

After Yuanchun's marriage visit, he had no chance to return home until he died violently in the palace. "It's just the right time to be happy and prosperous, but the hatred of impermanence comes again. With eyes wide open, throw everything away. Wandering for a long time, the soul is exhausted. Looking at my hometown, the road is far away and the mountains are high. So I tell my parents in my dream: My son's life has entered the underworld, what a family relationship. , we need to step back and get out early!”

The actor who plays Yuanchun is called Cheng Mei. She was originally a salesperson in the cultural and sports department of Xinjiekou Department Store in Nanjing.
