The ages of the characters in Dream of Red Mansions are enough to write a book. There are too many contradictions in it. There are many doubts.

I saw some red studies paper that said that Cao Xueqin should write about the age of the characters with an attitude that was used by me. Sometimes it's bigger, sometimes it's smaller. It's good to fit the scene.

The Chinese teacher once said that Mr. Lu Xun made a typo, which is called a fake word, and if you write a typo, you will be deducted points.

Therefore, on the issue of age, I must have a set, and I can't follow Mr. Cao's approach. Right or wrong, in short, the character can't suddenly get younger at a certain year.

As mentioned in the introduction, my book basically adopts Mr. Zhou Ruchang's statement

In the 7th year of the Red Mansion, Daiyu's age when she entered Jiafu was undoubtedly more than six years old. This is evidenced by Jia Yucun's words -- see Mr. Zhou Ruchang's Chronology of the Dream of Red Mansions for details. It can be searched in Baidu.

At this time, Jia Huan was seven years old. The book clearly mentions that the Red Chamber was 7 years old, and Jia Lan was 5 years old. When composing poems later, Jia Zheng's Qing guests said: Jia Huan is more than two years old when Jia Lan is older.

The strange thing is that Jia Huan is 7 years old, and Tanchun, who is a fellow of Jia Huan's mother, must be one year older, that is, 8 years old. But Lin Daiyu and Jia Tanchun's mutual "sister sister" is suspicious.

And the Dream of Red Mansions clearly mentions that in the 7th year of the Red Mansion, Jia Baoyu was seven or eight years old.

Take 8 years old.

In this way, Jia Baoyu is right to call the third sister of Tanchun. And Lin Daiyu followed and shouted the third sister of Tanchun, perhaps from Baoyu.

It is mentioned in the book that the sisters and sisters in the Grand View Garden shouted together - of course, this may not make sense. It's just a conclusion.

Dream of Red Mansions, as a manifest science, has too many things to study. I don't have the skills to do that

Age conclusions.

Yongzhi 7 years, the timeline in the book Red Mansion 7 years.

Baoyu is 8 years old, Tanchun is 8 years old, Jia Huan is 7 years old, Jia Lan is 5 years old, and Daiyu is 6 years old.

The attacker is 12 years old, and Qingwen is 10 years old

The age of the attacker is easy to say, Da Baoyu is 4 years old.

Qingwen's age can be verified by a book. During the night banquet in Yihong Courtyard, there was a narrative of the same year as Geng. There is also Jia Baoyu's sacrificial text. In the winter of the 8th year of the Red Mansion, he was assigned to the Baoyu Room, in short, there were many contradictions.

Rightly or wrongly, here is an age.
