In Dream of Red Mansions , why did Lin Daiyu go through the back door when she entered Jiafu?

Because Mrs. Wang is a housekeeper, Mrs. Wang doesn't like Jia Min, and she also doesn't like Daiyu; Although Aunt Xue waited for Jiafu to enter the Jia Mansion without naming the door, Mrs. Wang took [daughter-in-law and others] out of the hall, but when Daiyu entered the mansion, Wang Xifeng was not even there, and Li Kun did not come out to greet her, and clearly pointed out [but did not enter the main gate, only entered the west corner gate]; When Daiyu entered the house, when Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng came to the house on the first day of their relatives, they said that the monthly money and clothes were too abrupt and they were suspected of getting off the horse; Some people say that there are 3 gates, the middle is the main gate, and the side door can always be opened; In addition, after Jia Yucun entered Beijing, he sorted out his clothes and immediately submitted a letter to Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng immediately met to see if it happened on the same day; Daiyu and Jia Yucun entered Beijing at the same time; Jia Zheng is really not at home, so he is very suspicious of not seeing Daiyu. It's just a bunch of hypocrisy.

At that time, it was Aunt Xue, the elder of the Xue family, who also came, to be precise, the whole family of the Xue family came, and she was a distinguished guest, so she had to go through the main gate. It's a matter between two families. Baochai came to Jiafu with the background of her past life and present life, and she came here for the draft, and her family's status and family power are on par with the Jia family, as well as the relationship between Baochai's mother and Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng.

Therefore, Jia Fu did not dare to slack off, and naturally it was normal for Lin Daiyu to go through the back door.

The gate is only at the level of Jia Mu, and it is generally the corner door and the back door. The back door may be closer than the corner door. At that time, the society advocated male superiority and female inferiority, because many times the status of women was very low, which is not difficult to explain why Lin Daiyu had to go through the back door after entering Jiafu.

After all, in the social context of the time, it was impossible to do it all at once.

"Dream of Red Mansions" was originally written about the traditional idea of feudalism, and the idea at that time was that men were superior to women. Naturally, Lin Daiyu had to go through the back door when she entered Jia's Mansion, and at that time, only Jia's mother could go through the front door! It can be seen from the records in the book that the status of the women who just entered the door is not very high, so it is not surprising that Lin Daiyu entered through the back door.

The men in the family are preparing for the bloodline, and they are prepared for the nobles and ** with prominent status. For the patriarch of the family. Only in the event of a red and white wedding, a direct member of the family.

In order to walk, when He Shen went to Ji Xiaolan's house, he went to the corner gate, not the main gate, not to mention that Daiyu was a female dependent. So it's normal to go through the back door.

First of all, judging from the development of the later story, we can see it as a foreshadowing, paving the way for the different endings of the two people in the future! Because Cao Xueqin is a very careful writer, it is not surprising that he can take these details into account. Secondly, we don't just look at the writing, some unreasonable works can't stand, so I think there is another reason, first of all, no matter what, Lin Daiyu is a relative of the Jia family, how to say that the relationship between relatives is always better than Baochai's, and Daiyu is relatively small when she enters the house, and there is not much etiquette, and Baochai is relatively big when she comes, and she is a guest when the Xue family comes, and the way of hospitality is still required.

Because Lin Daiyu's status is not enough to enter from the Darang Bu Gate, and because Jiafu is a place with very strict rules, and because the gate is used to welcome distinguished guests and people with relatively high official positions, Lin Dai's rough and round jade can not enter through the gate.

Because Daiyu's mother had just passed away, and she was also a cousin, she was not a big relative to Jiafu, so she didn't enter through the gate.

It's because her identity is not qualified enough to enter through the gate, and there is this rule when this gate opens.

In the past, the mansion gate mansion had the main gate and the east and west corner doors of the mill bridge, and the main gate was rarely opened, and only when the wedding event or the greeting of distinguished guests and superiors would go to the main gate. Not only is the outer gate like this, the house in the past has three entrances, five entrances, and each entrance also has a gate and a corner door, and the same slow brother's family usually walks through the corresponding corner door.

The daughter who married out belongs to the petite, from the owner of the house to the distinguished guest, and the girl needs to go to the front door when she returns to the door. Lin Daiyu is also a guest, and it seems that it is not necessary to go through the main entrance. But Lin Daiyu is not only a guest, but also the granddaughter of Jia's mother, so it goes without saying that the relationship is close.

In addition, Lin Daiyu is young and young, and she entered Jiafu alone, she came to Jiafu alone, and she was a female dependent, and the corner door seemed to be more blind and fierce, and the sedan chair could be carried directly into the backyard where the female dependents were.

There is no clear description of whether Xue Baochai came to Jiafu to take the gate or the corner gate, but logically speaking, the Xue family is a guest, and Xue Baochai came to Jiafu with Aunt Xue's family. Usually feasting, Aunt Xue sits in a more honorable position like Mother Jia, this is the principle of hospitality.

Even if Xue Baochai entered Jiafu and walked through the main gate, and Lin Daiyu walked through the corner gate, it cannot be considered that Jiafu gave Lin Daiyu a dismount, but because he did not treat Lin Daiyu as an outsider, and in order to make it more convenient to travel.

1. According to the records in the book, Lin Daiyu's mother died, Daiyu had no female elders to take care of her, and Lin Ruhai did not want to marry again.

2, the third episode of "Dream of Red Mansions" "Brother Tuo Nei Ruhai recommends Xibin to pick up his grandson Jia's mother and cherishes the orphan daughter", this chapter writes: Lin Ruhai said to Jia Yucun, "Because of the death of Beijing, the mother-in-law of the Duzhong family remembered that the little girl had no one to rely on, and she had sent a male and female boat to pick her up. ”

3. When sending Lin Daiyu away, Lin Ruhai also explained the reason to Daiyu: "Your father is half a hundred years old, and there is no intention of continuing the room, and you are sick, and you are very young. Now that I am close to my grandmother and uncle's sisters, my luck is just to reduce my worries, why not go?

When Daiyu heard this, Fang said goodbye with tears, and boarded the boat with the nurse and several old women in the Rong Mansion.

4. Through these original descriptions and some ancient living habits, we can analyze: in ancient times, there was a difference between men and women, daughters were generally taught by their mothers, after Lin Daiyu's mother died, Lin's father had no idea of remarrying, Daiyu had no female elders to teach, Jia's mother missed her granddaughter and sent people to invite her several times, and it was reasonable for her grandmother to teach her without a mother, and Lin Ruhai was sick and lacked energy, so she let Daiyu go to her grandmother's house to live for a period of time, which led to Lin Daiyu's entry into Jiafu.

Because Jia's mother took pity on Lin Daiyu and had no one around her to educate her, she took Lin Daiyu into Jia's Mansion to raise her.

Although the Lin family is not a wealthy family, it is a scholarly family. Lin Daiyu once had a younger brother who was one year younger and died at the age of three. So her parents loved her like a treasure, and saw that she was smart and beautiful.

invited Jia Yucun to be a tutor and taught her to read and learn calligraphy, pretending to be an adopted son. Lin Daiyu was six or seven years old, and her mother died of illness. Jia's mother took pity on her for having no one to rely on to educate, so she took her to her side.
