Lingguan

Critics consider both Lingguan and Qingwen as doubles of Lin Daiyu.

[1] Described as beautiful and graceful, Lingguan is also the best singer in the 12-girl troupe belonging to the Jia household.

She is only about ten years old and specializes in xiaodan roles.

She makes her first appearance in Chapter 18, when she refuses Jia Yuanchun's request to perform two arias from A Thorn Hairpin: she performs arias from The Peony Pavilion instead.

[3] Lingguan leaves the Jia household once the theatrical group is disbanded.
