In the novel, her calligraphy performance and works are left blank, and she only writes about her elaborate arrangement for her calligraphy creation-Autumn Frost Zhai from the side, which successfully sets off her general demeanor as the first calligrapher in the Red Chamber.
Extended data:
Although Jia Tanchun is a mistress, she is clearly a concubine. According to the hierarchical concept of feudal society, the status of concubine is lower than that of concubine. If Cao Xueqin just insists on the level of bloodline, then Jia Tanchun should definitely rank behind the elder sister Yingchun.
But he wanted to think, not only put her in front of Yingchun, but also in front of Shi Xiangyun and Miaoyu.
This shows that his ranking is more flexible within the big hierarchical framework of master, mistress and daughter-in-law, which is a comprehensive evaluation. In addition to the positioning determined by secular values, we should also consider the quality of the role itself and the scenes in the book.
