"Dream of Red Mansions" clearly took place in Beijing. Why is it called " Jinling Twelve Hairpins " and what does it have to do with Jinling? This is very taboo by the author in "A Dream of Red Mansions", but it leaves clues.
(fifth time) Baoyu only picks up the seal of his hometown to look at it, so he has no intention of looking at other things. I saw a big book with seven words on the seal on the cupboard over there: " Jinling Twelve Hairpins ". Baoyu asked: "What is the "Jinling Twelve Hairpins"? The Jing phantom said: "It is the title of the twelve crown-first women in your province, so it is the'zhengshu'."
"The theme of the fifth time Jia Baoyu sleepwalking in the realm of illusion. Explain that the "Jinling Twelve Hairpins Booklet" is the destiny booklet of twelve outstanding women in the Jinling area. There are also "subbooks", "subbooks" and so on.
It is strange here. It is obvious that Jia Baoyu is a person from Beijing. The story of "A Dream of Red Mansions" takes place in Beijing. Why does he want to look at the "Jinling" area and say that "Jinling" is his hometown?
This "weird" is actually not strange in ancient times. Jia's hometown is Jinling, and everyone in their family is destined to be from Jinling.
Although Jia's family lives in Beijing, many of them were born in Beijing, but they are not people from Beijing, but because they are officials in Beijing, they live in Beijing.
One day when they are improper officials, they have to return to their hometowns with their family, and the leaves will return to their roots. Therefore, Jia’s family has as many as eight houses in the capital, but no one is buried in the capital after death, but is transported back to the Jinling ancestral tomb for burial.
The family concept of the ancients is completely different from that of the modern people. Jia Baoyu would not think of himself as a native of Gyeonggi. He watched Jinling instead of Beijing for the first time. It was the natural perception of family and roots in that era, just like eating and drinking.
The thirty-third time Jia Baoyu was beaten by Jia Zheng, Jia's mother scolded Jia Zheng with anger: "I guess you are tired of our wives. Why don't we leave you early, clean everyone!" People go to see the sedan chair, "Your wife Baoyu and I will go back to Nanjing immediately!"
Nanjing is what Jia's mother thinks is the home, and the capital is just an official residence. Just as Yangzhou is the official land of Lin Ruhai and , Gusu is Lin Daiyu’s home. Of course, Gusu is under the jurisdiction of Jinling Province in "A Dream of Red Mansions".
Shi Xiangyun, please have a crab feast. Jia's mother remembered that there was a pillow Xia Pavilion at home when she was a child, but Shi Xiangyun had no idea. It's not that the Zhenxia Pavilion is gone, but that the Zhenxia Pavilion is in the Bowling Hou Mansion in Nanjing, not in the capital.
Jinling twelve hairpins Lin Daiyu, Miaoyu was born in Gusu, Jinling Province.
Xue Baochai and Li Yun are the only people who were born and raised in Jinling.
"Yuan Ying Tan Xi" Sichun, Shi Xiangyun, Wang Xifeng, and Qiao Jie'er were all born in Beijing. They are all born in Jinling and Nanjing, and they are all called Jinling people.
Qin Keqing is an orphan, and Qin Ye took it from the Yangshengtang. It is said that she may not be from Jinling. You can marry a Jinling native Jia Rong and become a daughter-in-law of the Jia family. And in the seventh time looking back, there is a poem:
The twelve flowers are the latest, I don’t know who is the flower cherishing person?If
meet, ask what his name is? He lives in Jiangnan and his surname is Qin.
Qin Ye was also a man who moved from Nanjing to Beijing to serve as an official like Ning Rong and his second father. His native place is also Jinling. Qin Keqing Qin Zhong is naturally a person from Jinling.
So, are there any people from Beijing in "A Dream of Red Mansions"? Yes, but not many. For example, Grandma Liu's family lives in the suburbs of Beijing and belongs to the people of Beijing; Xia Jingui is a citizen of Beijing, and after marrying Xue Pan, he becomes the family of Xue Jinling; the farm girl and the second girl are also people in the suburbs. Second Sister You and Third Sister You are from Beijing, but it is not necessary for You's father to be an official. The same goes for Mrs. Xing . Otherwise, Xing Xiuyan's family will not always live in Gusu.
The twelve hairpins of Jinling are all from Jinling, and they don’t think they are from Beijing, so “12 hairpins of Jinling”There is no problem with the statement, but it is wrong to call it "Twelve Hairpins in Beijing".
As for the capital and Nanjing, Cao Xueqin and deliberately borrowed the political clues of the Ming Dynasty moving the capital from Nanjing to Beijing. "Dream of Red Mansions" has the foreshadowing of Ming Dynasty and Qingxing, which was an inevitable situation in the era when "Dream of Red Mansions" was written.
