Wikidata names him Jia Qiang. The record also has the forms Qiang'er, Master Qiang, Second Master Qiang, and Brother Qiang. None of them replaces the title. The article calls him a legitimate great-great-grandson of the Ningguo house and infers that his great-grandfather should be a younger brother of Jia Daihua. That is the article's own inference. He is handsome. This entry records him as a figure of the novel, and the story is set in the dynasty of the novel.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## In the Ning house His parents died early, and he grew up with Jia Zhen. Jia Zhen spoiled him from above, and Jia Rong helped him from below. Every day he answered the roll at school only to cover appearances. He still fought cocks, ran dogs, and looked at flowers, and he grew more arrogant. He later became manager of the Jia family troupe, fell in love with Lingguan, and spent his days trying to please her. She was devoted to him as well.[^zhwiki] ## What the commentary suggests The Zhiyan zhai notes suggest that Jia Qiang and Lingguan eventually become a couple and that he helps the Jia house after its fall. The article does not present this as a scene already written in the main text.[^zhwiki] ## Basic facts - Name: Jia Qiang[^wikidata] - Description: a character in Dream of the Red Chamber[^wikidata] - Setting recorded on this entry: the dynasty of the novel[^wikidata] - Appears in: [[work_cn_q8265|Dream of the Red Chamber]][^zhwiki] /people/jia-qiang.html en zh en Character in Dream of the Red Chamber true literary character relation_cnworks_depicts_q8265_q10538513 work_cn_q8265 depicts person_cn_q10538513 work_cn_q8265 wikidata Related works work_cn_q8265 Dream of the Red Chamber /en/works/dream-red-chamber.html true depicts Related works relation_cnworks_depicts_q8265_q10538513 work_cn_q8265 depicts person_cn_q10538513 work_cn_q8265 wikidata Related works work_cn_q8265 Dream of the Red Chamber /en/works/dream-red-chamber.html true en zh en is_fictional Fictional yes person_category Person category literary character disambiguation Disambiguation Character in Dream of the Red Chamber 1 50 1 1 1
