What role do Taoists and monks play in Dream of Red Mansions ?

Personally, I think they are immortals, just imagine, two can turn a piece of treasure jade into a person, and can bring this person back to the fairy world. It's not immortals or mortals, they are like Jia Baoyu, Dao bones and fairy wind, and they have a fugue in the world. You can return to the divine realm and be an extraordinary person.

Cao Xueqin never writes about useless people, in my opinion, these two people are the freewheels of the fairy world, the saviors of the world, and a fuse in the book.

They are a thread, a thread that is about to be worn from the beginning to the end, or where does Daiyu's Zhuzhu Fairy Grass come from, they don't have anything to say about Daiyu or Baochai, they have always just said a few words as an outsider, giving people a hint, but in all their words and actions, they have not expressed their approval of Daiyu or Baochai.

Gold and jade, wood and stone are all fateful, and the Taoist monk is to promise the stubborn stone to mix the red dust, and the soul of the pearl returns, and the gold and jade are all processes.

In "Dream of Red Mansions", the battle between the "Wood and Stone Alliance" and the "Golden and Jade Good Relationship" runs throughout, and in the end, the defeat of the "Wood and Stone" side and the stifling of Bao Dai's love are completely caused by the authority of the upper echelons of Jiafu.

And Baochai's golden lock, the book confesses that it is two auspicious words given by a monk, called the chisel on the gold vessel to keep safe, it can be seen that this golden lock is a vulgar thing made of manpower through chiseling and twisting, and there is no natural reason.

According to the description of the leper monk and the lame Taoist in the opening chapter of "A Dream of Red Mansions", in the nonsensical cliffs and green ridges of the Great Wilderness Mountain, and the details of taking him to the police illusion**, I think that the Taoist and the monk are just set up by Cao Weng in order to pave the way for the development of the storyline. It not only reveals the final ending, but also lays the groundwork for the psychology and behavior of the characters in the middle.

At the beginning of "Dream of Red Mansions", there are not two monks, but a monk, one is called the empty Taoist, and the other is called the Miao Miao Master, they are people who bring the spiritual treasure jade like the earthly world, and they are inextricably linked with the too illusory realm, it can be seen that they are not ordinary people, and it is very likely that one is from the fairy world and the other is from the Buddha world.

The two of them should be immortals, Jia Baoyu's birth in "Dream of Red Mansions" has some mystery, and Jia Baoyu became a monk in the ending, so I think they are immortals.

One of them was a Taoist priest and the other was a monk. It can be said that the beginning of Dream of Red Mansions brought a mysterious and fantasy color to the audience, which played a role in echoing before and after.

The two people who appeared at the beginning were a monk and a Taoist, one was called Master Miao, and the other was called Kongkong Taoist, who was probably a god, and explained the beginning of the story, and also paved the way for many plots later.

Those two people should be lame Taoists and leper monks, and lame Taoists and leper monks have no real identities in **. These two people are fictional by the author, as the matchmaker who strings together the story line, their role at the beginning is to bring Baoyu and Daiyu into the red dust, and explain the identity and character traits of the protagonist.

The appearance of these two monks, firstly, to explain the beginning of the story, secondly, to cross people, pave the way for the ending of everyone who follows, and also in many books that study "Dream of Red Mansions", the importance of these two monks is mentioned, and they act as people from God's perspective in the book.

In "Dream of Red Mansions", the lame Taoist and the leper monk began to appear. I think they are immortals, in order to deepen the fairyland atmosphere of the Dream of Red Mansions and make the beginning of the Dream of Red Mansions better.

Monks are Buddhism, and Taoists are Taoists; Historically, Buddhism and Taoism have had both times of divergence and merge.

Judging from the content in **, the monk is a man, and the Taoist priest is a woman; In the book, they represent ideas and destinations that are detached from the world, and there is no distinction in the strict sense.

Leper monk and lame Taoist: The opening chapter leads to the following, and the dialogue with Zhen Shiyin leads to Tongling Baoyu Zhang Daoshi: Rong Gong's stand-in, once gave Baoyu a matchmaker.

Miaoyu: One of the twelve golden hairpins.

Jingxu: Old sister-in-law of Mantou Nunnery, please ask Sister Feng for help.

Hexian, Zhishan, Zhizhi'er, Qinxiang: Shuiyue Nunnery's sister-in-law, Baoyu and Qin Zhong's sister-in-law Wang Yiti: Taoist priest of Tianqi Temple, sold to Baoyu's jealous woman.

The empty people, the vast masters, and the misty real people (they turn into treasures).

In the first time, there was also a monk, and they brought the stone down to the mortal world.

Leper monk - "never leave, never give up, Fangling Yongji" These two sentences were given to Baochai, and he instructed her to engrave these two sentences on the gold vessel.

The empty man.

Vast Tuas. Slim real people.

Lame Taoist. Leper monk Zhen Shiyin.

Because these two people are villains in Dream of Red Mansions, representing the dark side of society at that time, they are said to be all the way.

Because the two people, Jingxu Nun and Daoist Zhang, not only did not obey their duties - to overcome the suffering of all sentient beings, do good things, escape from the yellow crown, abandon the vulgar and avoid the dust, but went in and out of the red dust vigorously.

Jingxu nuns and Zhang Daoshi are the same kind of people, because they are both spectators and guides, witnessing the rise and fall of Jiafu.

In the Red Mansion, monks are women, and men are introduced.

Daiyu, Baochai, and Zhen Yinglian have all been tried to be transformed by the leper monks, while Zhen Shiyin, Liu Xianglian and others followed the Taoist priests.

However, Jia Baoyu did not become a Taoist priest in the end, but became a monk.

Of course, there are differences between Buddhism and Taoism, Buddhism talks about the four major emptiness, the six realms of reincarnation, suffering in this life, and consummation in the next life. So Cao Gong really writes with pity for the woman in the book. Taoism talks about the unity of heaven and man, the pursuit of eternal life in this life, and the saying that there is no afterlife, past life.

So I always felt that Jia Baoyu saw through Hongchen but really couldn't forget Hongchen, he always had Sister Lin in his heart.

Run with the monk, run with the sisters and sisters. In the next life, they are still good friends.

Finally, these two sentences cannot be ignored.

West On the bank of the Spirit River, there are three living stones! <>

In the West, there is Ishinadai!

Probably because of the difference in image and symbolism. The monk should be the image of eating fasting and reciting Buddha to see through the red dust, and the Taoist priest should be the image of a stick sticking a piece of cloth and playing a trick to pretend to be a ghost?

Gao E's continued fake book was not considered first, Cao Gong wrote when Baoyu and Daiyu were arguing, and said: "You are dead, I will be a monk", and the next day he said it again to the attacker, Daiyu laughed at him and said that he would be a monk twice, from now on he will be a monk many times, such an obvious proverb shows that Baoyu will be out of the house twice in the future, the first time is at home in the steamed bun nunnery, although the monk is still inextricably linked with the world, the second time is a white expanse is really clean and unconcerned to the Buddha. <>

Jia Baoyu is an infatuated species. There is a comet, but there is no strategy. To be a Taoist, you must be brave and resourceful, and you must understand the world. To be a monk, you have comet roots and determination, you can.

Monks can't get married, Taoist priests can be true in addition to everything, and being a monk has the meaning of ruthlessness!

A bad hand! Can this IQ be a Taoist?

If he became a Taoist priest, do you have to ask why he became a Taoist priest and not a monk.
