Why did Jia Baoyu become a monk in A Dream of Red Mansions?

As we all know, Jia Baoyu was born with jade, and his psychic Baoyu is his life, so jade is very important to him. "Jade" is very important to him in the whole book, and the appearance of jade people in A Dream of Red Mansions is not accidental.

First of all, Daiyu, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu are a pair, one is Xianpa in Yuen Long and the other is flawless jade. They loved each other in their previous lives, and this life will continue. In a previous life, Jia Baoyu was a waiter in Shen Ying, and Lin Daiyu was a crimson fairy grass. Because she was watered by his rain and dew in her last life, this life is to repay her. They were predestined friends in their previous lives, and they were spiritually pure love. Lin Daiyu came to return tears and cried her eyes out, leaving behind hatred. That was when they fell in love.

Jia Baoyu's second piece of jade is Jiang Yuhan. It has been said before that Jiang Yuhan is a continuation of Jia Baoyu's secular destiny. Jiang Yuhan and Jia Baoyu hit it off, and they were close. When they met for the first time, they privately granted a personal object, and then they became very close. Jiang Yuhan later fled from Zhongshun Wang Fu, and Jia Baoyu was beaten black and blue by Jia Zheng. Some redology experts believe that this is because Jiang Yuhan has to bear the common fate of Jia Baoyu, so Jia Baoyu must suffer from this flesh and blood for her.

After Jiang Yuhan and Hua Xiren got married, Hua Xiren was Baoyu's concubine and the first person to have a physical union with Baoyu. If we remove his lost jade and Baochai's ethical nature, only Hua Xiren has a normal relationship between men and women. Hehan is another name for Lotus, and it also symbolizes that he endured the secular love for Jia Baoyu, so that Jia Baoyu finally got rid of the secular love and became a Buddha.

Another important jade is Miaoyu. Miaoyu is a monk, and her appearance is an important contrast to Jia Baoyu. Miaoyu claims to be an outsider, that is, she is detached from the world of mortals, and Jia Baoyu is an insider, that is, she is confined to the world of mortals. However, the results of the two are just the opposite. In the end, Jia Baoyu saw through the world of mortals and made a positive result, while Miaoyu could only get stuck in the mud and bear the heaviest pain in the world.

And Zhen Baoyu, Miao Yu's narrow and withdrawn, reflected in Granny Liu, set off Baoyu's compassion and love for all beings, which is Baoyu's Buddha nature. Zhen Baoyu is an allegorical figure. He is similar to Baoyu, but contrary to Baoyu, he values fame. The design of this character just reflects Baoyu's natural aura and satirizes fame from Baoyu's point of view.

Four pieces of jade are of great significance to Jia Baoyu, and it is also the performance of Jia Baoyu on his way to becoming a Buddha. Lin Daiyu cried her eyes out and left her hatred, and the fate of the fairy ended. Jiang Yuhan married Hua Xiren and suffered his common secular fate, so that he finally became a Buddha. Miaoyu's Buddhist fate set off Baoyu's Buddhist nature from the side.
