"A Dream of Red Mansions" describes naughty boys making trouble in school. It occupies only a small space in the whole book. It cleverly reveals the decayed family tradition of the Jia family and, to a certain extent, reflects the corrupt teaching system of feudal society. A sense of filth among the upper classes. Baoyu felt envious from the moment he saw Qin Zhong. Qin Zhong has "fair eyebrows, pink face and red lips, a handsome figure, and a graceful manner." At that time, Sister Feng smiled and said to Baoyu: "The competition is over!" At the same time, Qin Zhong also fell in love with Baoyu when he saw him, and hated "not being able to communicate with him." The two have similar temperaments and want to make friends with each other. Since Qin Zhong's family could not enroll him as a teacher for the time being, Baoyu invited him to go to his home to study, and he decided to go to school as well. As it is said at the end of the seventh chapter: "It is not difficult to make friends because of handsomeness, but it is because of romance that you start studying." According to Baoyu's temperament, he hated going to private schools, partly because he disliked "eight-legged essays" and partly because he did not want to be restrained. When Jia Zheng heard Baoyu say that he wanted to go to school, he sneered and said: "If you mention the word 'school' again, even I will be embarrassed to death. According to me, it is right for you to stubbornly go to school." But after meeting Qin Zhong, he took the initiative to ask for acquaintance. The purpose is for the two of them to "constantly talk to each other" and "enjoy the joy of being friends", but in fact it is for "the romantic lover to enter a private school". When Daiyu heard that Baoyu said she was going to school, she smiled and said, "Okay, if I go there, I will definitely win the title of "Toad Palace". Although this is a joke, it represents the general mood of parents in society at that time. Jia Zheng wanted Baoyu to be familiar with his family and sent Baoyu there himself. Jia Zheng said to Dai Ru: "I sent him here today because I asked for help. This child is not young anymore. He must learn to become an adult in order to establish himself and become famous throughout his life. Now he is at home He is just fooling around with some children, and although he knows a few lines of poetry, he is just talking nonsense. Even if it is good, it is just a matter of romance and has nothing to do with the serious affairs of his life. "Now I just want him to study and talk." He wrote books and wrote articles... so that his life would not be wasted in name only." The last forty chapters have been denied by many scholars and famous writers, believing that they do not reflect Cao Xueqin's original style and purpose. But this passage still somewhat expresses Jia Zheng's expectations for his son. Reading is the main means of inheriting culture. In modern society, compulsory education has been widely carried out to improve the quality of the population. For families and individuals, reading is one of the main ways to improve the quality of life. At that time, there were only a limited number of scholars in the feudal society, so it was the only way for scholar-bureaucrats to get promoted. However, the feudal imperial examination system was already boring. However, it was difficult to survive in the upper class society at that time without studying. According to Xiren's words: "Studying is a great thing, otherwise you will be miserable for the rest of your life." Other young people who go to the family to get married also have different purposes. Xue Pan also came to Jia's house to study, and his purpose was just to play with young men. Because "there are many young people in the school, it is unavoidable to be inspired by Longyang's interest. Therefore, he came to school on vacation, but he only spent three days fishing and two days drying nets. He gave some free gifts to Jia Dairu, but there was no such thing as I just wanted to make friends with him. Who would have thought that there were several primary school students in this school who wanted to use Xue Pan's money, food, clothing, etc.? "Home school", relying on money to coax young boys into their hands. Jin Rong and other people from poor families just want to save money. In the words of Jin Rong's mother, Mrs. Hu: "Your aunt tried everything possible to tell Mistress Lian in their Xifu that you got this place to study. If it weren't for her, our family would still be able to afford it." Sir? Besides, tea and food are readily available in this school. You have saved a lot of money at home these past two years, and you like to wear bright clothes." The direct fuse of learning is the turmoil caused by lust mixed with jealousy. Qin Zhong and Xiang Lian winked and gave a signal, "The two of them pretended to be courteous and went to the backyard to talk." Jin Rong followed, suspecting that they had done something obscene, and the three of them started to argue. Jin Rong said: "I'm just asking you: If you don't know what to say, why are you so sneaky? I've got it, so what else do you need! Let me slap my head first, and we won't say a word. Otherwise, everyone should get up. "Jin Rong said again, "It's true that I got it now," and he clapped his hands and shouted, "What a delicious sesame cake! Don't you want to buy one?" "Take a slap on the head" and "stick the sesame seeds well" are all obscene words. In fact, Jin Rong didn't want to expose evil, but also wanted to take advantage. The reason why Jin Rong can say these obscene and filthy words is because of his own experience. He was once a good friend of Xue Pan, "who was coaxed into taking advantage of him." Jin Rong got a lot of money from Xue Pan.

Jin Rong's mother once said: "Uncle Xue has given us seventy or eighty taels of silver in the past two years without giving him anything for one year." Because Xue Pan "is originally a duckweed, he loves the east today and the west tomorrow." , with new friends, put Jin Rong aside. On this day, Jia Dairu went home because of something, and ordered Jia Rui to take charge of it for the time being. Qin Zhong and Xianglian were insulted by Jin Rong, and they were angry and anxious. They hurriedly went in to report Jin Rong to Jia Rui. "Jia Rui is a person who is greedy for gain and has no way to do anything". In school, he "helped Xue Pan to get some money, wine and meat". He became interested in sex and was later tortured to death by Sister Feng. Just as Li Gui said to Jia Rui: "You old man is a bit unruly after all." At that time, Jia Rui not only ignored him, but also used Xiang Lian to do something about it, saying that he was troublesome, which really made him lose a few words. Jin Rong became more and more proud, shaking his head and smacking his lips, and kept talking a lot of gossip. Jin Rong said firmly: "I just saw the two of them kissing and touching their butts in the back yard, fucking each other, and licking the grass roots. Who is it?" Whoever is older will do it first.” Under the instigation of Jia Qiang, Baoyu's book boy Mingyan, who was "young and ignorant of the world", used the power of his master to find Jin Rong to settle accounts. Jin Rong also had some accomplices, so inkstones, books and papers flew everywhere, and the naughty boys made a lot of noise and even fought. As the saying goes, "Three feet of ice does not freeze in a day." This school riot is an exposure of the Jia family's decadent family tradition. Why are these schoolchildren full of lustful thoughts and filthy mouths? Because there are many lewd people in the Jia family, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, Jia Rui, Jia Qiang, and Jia She are all drunkards and lascivious people. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. It is not difficult to understand that schoolchildren play with each other and get money from them at a young age. Such a commotion shows that these decadent behaviors and thoughts are no longer a secret there and have become very popular. This is also the reason why Xue Pan is so popular in the school. On the surface, people study to gain "fame", but under the cover of studying, they take advantage of opportunities for sex and money. This is the result of the overflow of decadent consciousness. Leng Zixing sharply pointed out the big problem of the Jia family: "There is another big thing: Who would have thought that the descendants of such a family of bells and whistles, a family of calligraphy and poetry, would actually be worse than the previous generation!" The decline of the Jia family is The inevitable trend also reflects the inevitable demise of feudal society.
