Why was it an ugly moment when Jia Yuanchun's relatives returned to the palace?

"Mothering relatives in the province" is an important event of Jia family, but it is also a metaphor for the rise and fall of Jia family. I wrote before why Mother's Day in Jia Yuanchun is the 15th day of the first month, which means that a month's gain means a month's loss. The time set by Yuan Chun's relatives is from the moment of ugliness to the moment of ugliness. What is the pressure behind this?

Jia Jia was busy for a year or two and spent millions. The whole journey took only about seven hours. It's the most expensive time to go back to your mother's house. Then, why did Jia Yuanchun leave the palace at 7: 00 pm15 and 2:45 am? It's not complicated, because the royal etiquette, every step of Yuan Chun mothering is made early. When to leave, when to come back, where to go, where to sit, where to change clothes and eat, all are strictly planned in advance. Follow the steps.

Jia Yuanchun mothering is not only the reception of the Jia family, but also the prison in the palace and the royal horse prison. The Ministry of Industry and the Yugoslav capital's five military forces will also be dispatched to assist the peripheral management of defense and assist mothering. In fact, there are two other departments whose staff can't be absent, that is, our department of rites and Qin.

Such important royal activities as Jia Yuanchun's relatives are second only to the emperor's outing. The Qin Committee specially chose a good day, and the fifteenth day of the first month was written by Qin. But the etiquette department will also cooperate with the formulation of etiquette norms. How to greet the imperial concubine, how to serve food and how to answer questions need to be rehearsed in advance. Royal etiquette and courtier etiquette cannot be confused. It's been a hard year for Jia's family. It is difficult for Jia Yuanchun to go home for a few hours. Unfortunately, this time, the mothering only lasted seven hours, and Jia Yuanchun left at this unpleasant moment. So, what's the point at this time?

The clown is the moment when the cock crows at dawn, which indicates that the sky is about to break. Especially in winter, the dawn is relatively late, and the clown time is three minutes, which belongs to the "cathode", that is to say, the darkest moment at night. As soon as this time passed, it began to light up. Jia Yuanchun is a noble lady, and royal etiquette requires you not to spend the night outside. However, the matter of mothering is unprecedented and a rare grace, which cannot be said to be a problem to be solved. Therefore, it is scheduled to return to the palace at the last minute before dawn, that is, to lengthen the formation to the longest to show grace.

Of course, being a mother in Jia Yuanchun is not that simple. Cao Xueqin is hiding something behind his back. Ugly Bull, Silver Lake and Ugly Jia Family, because of their relatives in Yuan Chun, brought the last glory. Dai Jia, who followed, died, and soon got involved in the power struggle and suffered a terrible disaster. In this regard, Jia Yuanchun's judgment "A tiger meets a dream" gives an explanation.

The ancients paid attention to sixty years, taking the day as the calendar and five years as the grid. When ugly, it points to the end of ugliness and ugliness, that is, a little over a year. From the eighteenth Yuan Chun to the fifty-fifth Yuan Chun, the old lady died of illness, and Wang Xifeng had a miscarriage, which was exactly one year. In Countdown to the Decline and Fall of Jia Family, Cao Xueqin gives specific time hints in a very subtle and rigorous way through three ugly moments.

Jia Yuanchun's glorious moment is this year. With the death of the old lady, Jia Yuanchun's patron was gone, and her position in the palace plummeted. Empty have a title of imperial concubine, unlucky, eunuchs began to an endless stream to jia family have a windfall. Therefore, the end of the Jia family is getting closer and closer.
