Chapter V The Collapse of Jia's Group
A Dream of Red Mansions is a tragedy, and the collapse of Jia's Group is its fate, which cannot be changed. What's more, in the big environment at that time, the descendants of Jia's Group are "worse than one generation", and only the group successors lack people who have the ability to change their family destiny.
5.1 crumbling Jia's Group
In fact, Jia's Group looks prosperous on the outside, but it has already shown signs of decline on the inside. Not only people who live in Jia's house can see it clearly, but also outsiders who are familiar with Jia's house are very clear, and even the minions who are in charge are clear.
At the beginning of A Dream of Red Mansions, Leng Zixing once said to Jia Yucun in his speech on the Rongguo Mansion, "Now, although the shelves outside have not fallen down very much, the inner bags have also come up." Jia's group, a century-old shop, has long been in decline in the eyes of outsiders, but unfortunately it has not attracted the attention of Jia's family.
However, people in the Jia family are not ignorant of the present situation. For example, in the 53rd time, Wu Jinxiao, the head of Heishan Village, came to Jia's house to send a New Year's gift. For ordinary people, the festival gift seems to be extremely rich in both quantity and quality, but it is still a little stretched for the huge expenses of Jia's group, so Jia Rongcai said, "If you save your family again in two years, you will be poor." He said to his father Jia Zhen, "If that house is poor. The other day, I heard Miss Feng and Yuanyang secretly discussing that they would steal something from the old lady and use it as money. " Sure enough, by 72, Jia Lian was so nervous that he couldn't even take out two or three thousand two hundred pieces of silver, and he really borrowed it from Yuanyang.
In the 75th time, there was a scene in which after the grandmother had finished eating, she said that she liked to watch a lot of people eat, so she asked You Shi to eat with Yuanyang and Amber, only to find that You Shi was eating "rice with white stalks" and asked, "You are dizzy, bring this rice to your grandmother". Yuanyang replied, "Now it's time to make a hat with your head on, and ask for some. Fine rice has become a scarce commodity in Jiafu, so it can be seen that the life of Jiafu has been very difficult, and Jia's group is also teetering.
5.2 Jia's group
Jia doesn't know that Jia's group has not only lived beyond its means, but also struggled. The most important thing is that its backer will lean, and the general trend has gone. As the saying goes, "Keep your back against a big tree to enjoy the cool." It is self-evident that the backer is gone for the whole creutzfeldt-Jakob Group. We can see from several details described in A Dream of Red Mansions:
One is that Zhongshun Wangfu came to Jiafu to ask for an official. Zhongshun Wangfu has never had anything to do with Jiafu before, and he actually came to Jiafu to challenge for a little player, which shows that Jiafu's backstage and backer are in jeopardy. From the plot, Jia Yuanchun has basically lost power and influence, at least in the power of the palace, it has been unable to check and balance Zhongshun Wangfu, so it led to Zhongshun Wangfu being so arrogant that he dared to openly send someone to the imperial concubine's house, which was quite a tear in the face, and it can also be seen that the background and backer of Zhongshun Wangfu were more powerful. From Jia Zheng's performance, we can also see the clue, which is also the key to Jia Zheng's furious attack on Baoyu.
Secondly, eunuchs came to Jia's house to ask for silver. Eunuchs have come to Jia's house to ask for silver, which implies that Jia Fei has fallen out of favor. Eunuchs are people in the palace. They know the emperor and people around them best, and they are also good at profiting from them. Back to the 72nd time, Xia eunuch sent a little eunuch to Jia Fu to "borrow" two hundred and twenty pieces of silver, and this was the third time. The first two times, he "borrowed" 1,221 pieces, so Jia Lian complained that they should have moved enough in one year, and at the same time, he said that eunuch Zhou also came to see him yesterday, and his mouth was 1,211 pieces. The reason why eunuchs dare to "borrow" money from Jia Fu one after another at least shows that they know the inside story of the palace and know that Yuan Fei and Jia Fu can't help them at this moment, so they have nothing to hide.
the third is the hint of dreams. It is human nature to think about things every day and dream at night. When eunuch Xia sent someone to borrow money, Xifeng was telling Jia Lian, Pinger and others about a dream she had last night. She dreamed that the empress sent someone to ask for a hundred brocade, but it wasn't Yuan Fei, so Xifeng refused to give it, so the man came up directly to take it. There is a saying in China, "Listen and listen." When Xifeng said dream, in fact, the author implied Yuan Fei's fall from grace through this plot, echoing the fact that Jia's century-old foundation was about to be destroyed.
Conclusion of Chapter VI
Jia's Group has lost the big backer and backstage of Yuan Fei and the imperial power (the emperor is behind Yuan Fei), and the closure is a matter of minutes. After all, there are too many violations of law and discipline by senior executives within the group. If it is said that the second guessed, whoever comes out will be punished.
Because A Dream of Red Mansions has no stories from the 1981s, the specific crimes of Jia's group are unknown, but judging from the previous analysis, it is inevitable that several crimes will be punished together.
Of course, the author clearly stated the ending of Jia's Group in the first time, "It's ridiculous, and it's all on bridal robes for other girls in the end!" At the same time, the author also gives the conclusion of "birds throw themselves into the forest" to the fate of men, women and children related to Jia's group through the tune of A Dream of Red Mansions. "It's like eating birds and throwing them into the forest, and the land is so clean!"
epilogue
The warning function of A Dream of Red Mansions is far-reaching, but how many people can really understand its profound meaning? Perhaps because of this, the author issued a cry of "Who can understand the taste". In fact, the connotation of A Dream of Red Mansions is extremely profound, which analyzes the diversity and complexity of human nature from various aspects and angles. This paper only analyzes it from the perspective of enterprise management, aiming at attracting jade and communicating with fans who love Dream of Red Mansions.
