Typical characteristics of extended data

Jia Baoyu in A Dream of Red Mansions is finally a man far away from the world of mortals. An eternal lover is crazy about himself. He was born of love, stupid because of love, crazy because of love, and finally gave up the cliff when he was exhausted and returned to the foot of the barren cliff. Although Baoyu's feelings sometimes show a tendency of universal love, he is full of true feelings for Lin Daiyu, everything in the world, life and beauty.

He hated the secular world, because it was already a vulgar feeling of official career and economy, a feeling of money and power, that is, a false feeling covered with layers of gauze, so he finally became a monk and left this world.

Have no illusions about the world

Born in ancient China, he was influenced by the Taoist thought of natural inaction. It is often thought that he who sees through the world of mortals means that he wants nothing, no longer loves the world, loses his feelings, and his six roots are pure, so once he sees through the world of mortals, he becomes a monk, and all monks are not necessarily people who see through the world of mortals.
