In "Dream of Red Mansions", an ancient Chinese chapter hui style novel**, the fate of Jiafu is closely linked to the family economy, and Jia's mother, as one of the main managers of Jiafu, plays a key role in the prosperity and decline of Jiafu.
Jiafu, a huge family, its prosperity and silence carry the fate of countless family members. In this mansion, Jia's mother, as the elder of the family, is kind and loving on the surface, but in fact she hides a series of schemes for the benefit of the family. To deeply understand Jia's mother, it is necessary to find out who Jiafu mainly relies on to make money, which may reveal the true face of Jia's mother hidden behind it.
The finances of Jiafu are complex and huge, and the most critical of them is the Rongguo Mansion's Yulu and the emperor's rewards. As the manager of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu holds a key economic lifeline of Jia Mansion in her hands. However, this is not the only one, tenant rents and other revenues also constitute the finances of Jia Province, and the rational use of these funds is related to the rise and fall of the entire Jia Province.
In order to maintain the finances of Jiafu, Jia's mother adopted a series of means. First of all, she tried to expand the economy of Jia Province through a marriage strategy. Her expectation for Lin Daiyu is not only out of love for her granddaughter, but also because she hopes to introduce the Lin family's property into Jiafu through marriage, so as to solve the financial embarrassment. However, this plan ultimately fell through, making the financial situation of Ja even worse.
Jia's mother's marriage to a merchant family also shows her unscrupulous side for the interests of the family. She was willing to marry the daughter of a merchant in order to increase her wealth. However, this decision ultimately failed to meet her expectations, as the marriage between Jiafu and the Xue family did not bring the expected financial returns, but instead led to the loss of Jiafu's prestige.
Jia's mother's two sons, Jia Yu and Jia Zheng, were clearly deficient in managing family affairs, which led to the financial difficulties of Jiafu. Their disgrace and disregard for the family property made it impossible for the economy to sustain the family's huge expenses. Jia's mother had to resort to scheming to try to find a suitable successor within the family.
As the chief housekeeper, although Wang Xifeng has a certain ability in managing Rongguo Mansion, her selfishness is also obvious. Jia's mother relied on her in the process of saving Jiafu, but in the end she found that Wang Xifeng was only pursuing personal interests, rather than sincerely seeking the welfare of the family. This kind of power and interest game within the family has made the economic situation of Jia Province even more chaotic.
The economic crisis in Jia Province deepened, and the family's prosperity gradually turned into decline. Jia's mother's strategy has been challenged both internally and externally, forcing her to constantly adjust her plans to cope with the family's financial pressures.
The economic shady scenes of Jiafu and Jia's mother's power game in "Dream of Red Mansions" provide us with profound enlightenment. Although the story within this family is ** creation, it reflects the common phenomenon under the family structure of feudal society, and makes us think deeply about human nature, family scheming, economic management, etc.
First, we see the complexity of human nature. Although Jia's mother is the elder of the family on the surface, full of kindness and care, in front of the family's interests, she shows the unscrupulous side in order to maintain the family's status and wealth. This leads us to think that in relationships and families, there is often a conflict between the selfish desires of the individual and the overall interests of the family. Although Jia's mother's actions are beneficial to the family's wealth, they are also morally questioned, triggering a deep reflection on the relationship between power and morality.
Secondly, family management and economic issues are also important issues that we need to pay attention to. Jiafu was in financial difficulties due to the profligacy and defeat of the heir, and Jia's mother took various means to maintain the family status, but in the final disappointment, the fragility of the family economy was revealed. This reminds us that the financial management and succession issues of the family need to be taken seriously, and only through scientific management and good succession planning can the family be able to prosper for a long time.
The depiction of family intrigue also reflects a common phenomenon in feudal society. The open and secret struggles and power calculations within the family are the true portrayal of the family structure in feudal society in history. Jia's mother's use of Lin Daiyu and the merchant family, as well as Wang Xifeng's selfish calculations, all show the complexity of the relationship within the family. This allows us to see that while maintaining honor and status, the family is also facing internal contradictions and conflicts of interests, which are not unique to feudal society, but run through the general history of the development of human society.
In thinking about all this, we can draw some valuable insights. First of all, as individuals, we need to pay attention to the balance between individual interests and the overall situation when dealing with interpersonal relationships and family disputes, and avoid pursuing selfish desires too much to the detriment of the overall interests of the family. Secondly, the financial management of the family and the clan requires not only the efforts of individuals, but also scientific planning and a reasonable inheritance system. Only by forming a good management mechanism can we ensure the prosperity and longevity of the family. Finally, it is necessary to be vigilant about the relationship and interest struggle within the family, and advocate the values of fairness, justice and integrity to maintain the harmony and stability of the family.
The story of Jiafu in "Dream of Red Mansions", although it is a fictional plot in **, reveals the common problems under the family structure of feudal society. Through in-depth reflection on this ancient story, we can better understand the challenges of family relationships, family finances, and human complexity, and provide useful lessons and inspiration for contemporary society.
