In the 62nd episode of Dream of the Red Chamber, Baoyu celebrated his birthday, and after the banquet, Baoyu realized that Fangguan was not there, so he went back to Yihongyuan to look for Fangguan.

Baoyu pushed him and said, "Don't go to sleep, let's go outside and play, and have dinner later." Fang Guan said: "You eat wine ignore me, so I was bored for half a day, but not come to sleep." Afterwards, Baoyu comforted Fangguan and had dinner with her in the evening.

Fang Guan said, "If you are eating wine at night, don't ask anyone to control me, I have to try my best to eat enough. I was eating two or three pounds of good Huizuan wine at home. But now I've learned this, and they say it's bad for my voice, and I haven't heard of it in years. Multiply this day I am going to fast."

Fang Guan in this passage, revealed the following information.

First, the people who can drink Huizuan wine are either rich or noble.

Huizuan wine is good and famous wine, high-grade wine that ordinary people cannot afford to drink.

Tang Li Dongyang, the Minister of Rites and a university scholar at the Huagai Temple, wrote in a poem, "Huizuan Spring Wine is sent to the spring, and it is now rumored to be the most popular wine in the world. Feng Menglong of the Ming Dynasty wrote the name "Huishan Spring Wine" in his "Waking Up to the World". In the Qing Dynasty, Huizhan Spring Wine was offered to the emperor as a tribute.

Huizhan Spring Wine has always been a high-grade wine, which was not affordable to the general public.

In the 16th chapter, Jia Lian escorted Daiyu back to the Rongguo Mansion after her father's funeral. He also brought back Huizuan wine, which the couple drank together. When Jia Lian's nursemaid, Sister Zhao, approached, Phoenix hastened to invite her to drink, saying, "Mother, try the Huizuan wine your son brought."

Fang Guan's family, however, was allowed to drink Huiquan wine, showing that her family was either rich or noble. When Fangguan was at home, he drank good Huizuan wine, which is now called the highest grade of Huizuan wine. In their family, children could drink Huizuan wine without any limit, and they could let go of their appetite and drink a lot. It was evident that Fang Guan's family was very rich.

Fang Guan's surname is Hua. Suzhou people with the surname of flowers have the Qing Dynasty's flower list, the word Yu Chuan, Changzhou (now Suzhou, Jiangsu Province) people. Study of the six books, copying the seal Zong Sanqiao (Wen Peng), Gao Shu (Wang Guan), elegant and elegant, overflowing in the scrolls.

Fang Guan was supposed to be a child of an official family. Later, because of the changes that happened to her family, she was reduced to a slave girl and forced to learn opera. It so happened that Jia Qiang went to Suzhou to buy a young opera singer, so he sold Fang Guan to the Jia Mansion to learn opera.

Secondly, Fang Guan's family's defeat was only a matter of these few years.

Fang Guan said, because of the study of opera, "they said they were afraid of bad voice, and in the past few years have not smelled" Huiquan wine. This shows that Fangguan's family had not been in decline for long, and that it was only in the past few years that she had learned theater, which meant that she had not drank wine in the past few years that she had learned theater.

Though Fang Guan was a bought young opera singer, her family of origin was not the poor who could not eat and clothe themselves, but a woman from a luxurious family who was either rich or noble.

It is precisely because of Fang Guan's high birth that she is more domineering in the Jia Mansion, which is a habit she has developed in her bones.

Thirdly, from Fangguan's eating habits, it can also be seen that she came from a noble family.

Ban'er is the grandson of Liu Lou Lou, a child of a poor family. Rarely saw meat. He saw in Wang Xifeng room, "the table bowl and plate column, still full of fish and meat, but slightly moved a few things. The board will be greedy, he clamored for meat to eat.

Fang Guan, on the other hand, does not like to eat greasy meat dishes, but instead prefers light food, just like the ladies in Jiafu.

The Liu family sent someone to bring Fang Guan a bowl of chicken skin soup with shrimp balls, a bowl of steamed duck in wine, a dish of preserved goose breasts, and a dish of four creamy puff pastry rolls with a big bowl of steaming green beds of fragrant round-grained rice.

Fang Guan said, "It's greasy, who's going to eat these things." He only ate a bowl of rice in soup, picked two pieces of pickled goose, and stopped eating. Judging from Fangguan's eating habits, she was not poor, but of rich origin.

All in all, from Fangguan's statement that when she was at home, she could drink two or three pounds of good Huiquan wine, it is clear that Fangguan came from either a rich or a noble background, and was by no means a child of a poor family.
