Why Lin Daiyu couldn't marry Jia Baoyu

Whether Lin Daiyu can marry Jia Baoyu is decided by the elders. From the perspective of the elders, there are several main reasons. The first reason is a combination of interests. Lin Daiyu's parents are dead, and the Lin family no longer has any power, while the Xue family is still in its heyday and still powerful. The second reason is that from the perspective of physiognomy, Xue Baochai is suitable for husband and family, has a generous appearance and is easy to give birth. She can pass on the incense well and at the same time can encourage Jia Baoyu to return to the right path. "But Lin Daiyu is just the opposite. Lin Daiyu is weak and sickly, so Lin Daiyu cannot marry Jia Baoyu.

What is engraved on Jia Baoyu's spiritual jade?

The front seal script reads: The spiritual jade, never lose it, never forget it, may you live forever;

Seal script on the back: One to drive away evil spirits, two to cure diseases, three to know good and bad fortune.

The magic jade is a mythical figure in "A Dream of Red Mansions". Jia Baoyu held it in his mouth when he was born and hung it around his neck as his lifeblood. Jia Baoyu is the reincarnation of the stone left by Nuwa, and the magic jade is her illusion. The magic jade plays a triple role in Jia Baoyu's life: original sin, golden cudgel, and tight hoop curse. Jia Baoyu smashed the magic jade many times, showing his love loyalty and rebellious spirit, but ended in failure and compromise. The magic jade was lost in the last forty chapters, which led to three happy events: a perfect marriage, a son with a high rank, and the restoration of the family. After Jia Baoyu fulfilled the fate destined by the magic jade, he ran away from home, merged with the magic jade, and was taken back to Qinggeng Peak by a monk and a Taoist priest, and turned back into the stone left by Nuwa. The poem says, "A deep sleep must finally wake up, and the debts of grievances must be paid off before the end."
