1、 Just a line away, in Yihong Courtyard, Baoyu is a child who can chat with Xiangyun and the attackers; As soon as he arrived at the living room, he became an adult. When he heard that he wanted to meet a guest, he quickly went to get his clothes. In ancient times, meeting a guest was a big event and one had to change into formal attire.
2、 In fact, Baoyu had already seen through Jia Yucun's inner world and felt that he was very hypocritical and worldly wise. He knew too well about official culture and knew that to climb up and curry favor with the Jia family, it was not enough to just follow the path of Jia Zheng. He also had to establish good relationships with the next generation of Baoyu.
3、 Confucian culture believes that the most important thing in educating children is to know how to advance and retreat.
4、 Meeting guests is itself an exam, you need to learn to read people's expressions and know whether to call them uncle or not. I can use the books I usually read at this time, but I don't follow the rules when pouring tea and whether I use my hands when handing it over. My parents are watching over me. After pouring tea, I still need to socialize a few times and say, 'Uncle, please sit down. I need to do my homework.'.
5、 This was an important way for parents to educate their children at that time. Parents observed whether they understood and became familiar with the things that adults do by receiving people and objects. We received training in this area when we were young, and later became quite adept in the adult world.
