Jia Yuanchun, as a classic character in "Dream of the Red Chamber", has always attracted much attention for her life experience and promotion history. However, the reason why Jia Yuanchun became a virtuous concubine has always been a mystery. Some speculate that Jia Yuanchun's promotion is related to her pregnancy because the word "liu hua" appears in her sentence, which refers to pomegranate, a symbol of fertility and prosperity. Therefore, whether she is pregnant has become the focus of people's speculation. However, according to the existing literature, Jia Yuanchun was not pregnant.

According to the original text of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Jia Yuanchun's promotion does not seem to be directly related to the two reasons of royal favor and mother's dignity through her son. Instead, her promotion is related to the prestige and power of her family. At the funeral of Qin Keqing, the four princes and eight officials did not obey the emperor's orders, which made the emperor uneasy. It seems that Jia Yuanchun's promotion was to calm the emperor's unease.

Regarding the appearance of "liu hua", some speculate that it is related to Jia Yuanchun's pregnancy. However, according to the literature, "liu hua" here does not refer to pomegranate, but to a plant for ornamental purposes. Therefore, the sentence "liu hua kai chu zhao gong fei" cannot prove that Jia Yuanchun was pregnant.

In fact, Jia Yuanchun's ending is very tragic and related to the meaning of "liu hua". In "Dream of the Red Chamber", the author Cao Xueqin used the story of Yang Guifei to hint at the ending of Jia Yuanchun. In addition, there is another important allusion related to liu hua. That is, during the Three Kingdoms period, Pan Shu, the favorite queen of Sun Quan, was killed by palace women and was praised by the people as the "May Pomegranate Goddess of the Twelve-month Flower Gods". Both Pan Shu and Yang Guifei were sacrificed due to power struggles, similar to the fate of Jia Yuanchun.
