What is the central idea and moral of A Dream of Red Mansions? What are the places worthy of attention?

We often hear the phrase "It's useless to talk about a dream of red mansions and read all the poems", which means that a dream of red mansions has become a cultural symbol, and it participates in our lives. If you don't understand or haven't seen it, you are a vulgar person.

A Dream of Red Mansions is a wonderful book, which includes poems and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, medical cooking, garden architecture, clothing collection, social customs and so on. Anyone can find interesting things from it. What is its central idea and moral? This problem is very big. Let's discuss it from the following small aspects.

First, it mainly introduces the outstanding women in the author's memory, which is the most lively winter banquet in a dream of red mansions.

Among the impressive things in A Dream of Red Mansions, there must be outstanding women living in Jiafu. They have their own characteristics and charm. Their appearance enriched our lives and touched the quiet years. Therefore, the first part of the central idea and moral of A Dream of Red Mansions is that the author should record and commemorate those outstanding and beautiful women in his memory.

The ethereal and disillusioned Daiyu, like Baochai, is a gorgeous peony, as bright as the breeze on the moon, an ordinary and brave tanchun, an unknown and distressing Spring Festival, a pungent and refreshing Wang Xifeng, and an amiable Jia. These excellent women are all people worth learning. They are just people in stories, but they always seem to find their prototypes in life or find a certain feature in them.

As an outsider, Baoyu, as the incarnation of Cao Gong who lives in the same space with them, has much deeper feelings and memories than we do. Cao Gong lived a poor life at night, and perhaps recording everyone's past happiness was the greatest comfort in his life.

But what is written in the book and who is it? Ziyun added, "I have accomplished nothing in this dusty day, but suddenly I think of all the women that day." After careful investigation, I feel that their actions and knowledge are above mine. Why don't I open my eyes? If not, why don't I wear a skirt?

These beautiful women are all relatives, friends and lovers of Baoyu. They are an inseparable part of his whole life. His heart is full of sadness and guilt, and he cares about the promises he can't make for them. He can only record their stories one by one as a memory and a tribute. They should not be submerged by the long river of society. They should be the most beautiful places in the world.

2. Exposing the "real" darkness of feudal society at that time with "falsehood" Although A Dream of Red Mansions has no time and deeds to test, it makes people understand that what it wants to reveal is a common social phenomenon and can be expounded without a specific background of the times. The second aspect of the central idea and moral of A Dream of Red Mansions is to expose the "real" darkness of feudal society at that time with "lies" by using these two tasks, and at the same time enthusiastically praise rebellion and resistance.

It doesn't matter if you don't have your own thoughts.

What feudal society wants to bind most is human thoughts, because people without souls are best controlled, and the walking dead can be at the mercy of others. In fact, the ancient emperors used this method to educate the people, learn the "eight-part essay" and preach the "three cardinal guides and five permanents" and so on. People can't have their own thoughts, they can only obey orders, so a series of people are born.

Baoyu, as the protagonist in A Dream of Red Mansions, has high demands on his elders. Baoyu hates reading most when he is asked to study as an official. Baoyu doesn't like those self-righteous literati, and even thinks that they are "unlucky". Mi Chong in society is self-righteous and has no merit. It's not that Baoyu doesn't like reading and studying, but that he despises such people and doesn't want to be such people. Therefore, father Jia Zheng and sister Baochai have been urging him to study. He would rather be beaten and laughed at by everyone, but he should also be loyal to his own ideas. Don't be such a person and don't go with the flow.

I'm afraid of ignorance, too. The most intuitive performance is Jia Rong's ignorance of his father Jia Zhen. Jia Rong was a handsome and elegant boy, but he always obeyed his father's orders, letting his father steal his wife and learn from his father's unhealthy practices. Jia Rong also became a wan ku indulgent person in his later period. He doesn't know why he lives, and he doesn't know what it means to revitalize his family and life.

Without human rights, the ancients were divided into three classes, and the royal family was above them. In the homes of ministers and officials, ordinary people once again sell themselves as slaves. If the master does not get rid of slavery, then his descendants will be slaves without human rights and freedom. It is really terrible to think about it now, but it has long been used to it in ancient times.

As slaves, people have no human rights. They are just the opinions of the owner, and can be abused, rewarded, donated and traded at will. Take the Jia family for example, there are many domestic slaves in their family, among which Mammy Lai and others have been domestic slaves in the Jia family since the generation when they were calm. They are not only slaves of the Jia family all their lives, but also slaves of the Jia family for future generations. Fortunately, Lai's two sons became the stewards of Rong and Ning governments, and their child Lai Shangrong was freed from slavery and became a free man, and also donated an official.

Baoyu is most opposed to this kind of thing, so he made a promise to the girls in Yee Justin to give them back to their parents in the future and let them live a free life, but this is just an unrealistic dream.

Qingwen was a gift bought by Nanny Lai, an old servant of Jia family, and gave it to Baoyu. Mrs. Wang was unhappy and drove Qingwen away. In this process, Qingwen never had the right to resist.

Besides Qingwen, the fate of other girls is also very tragic. Mrs. Wang drove away Si Er, Fang Guan and other girls, although letting her family punish her is just to sell it again. Xiren already had the position of Baoyu's prospective aunt, but Mrs. Wang forced her to marry someone else. A servant, no matter how high his position is, has always been an accessory of his master. He enjoys it if he likes it, and disposes of it if he doesn't like it.

Xiang Ling is the same. She was sold to Xue Pan by traffickers and became a slave of the Xue family. Aunt Xue flattered her to be Xue Pan's concubine. Aunt Xue is not happy and can sell her at any time. Later, Xiangling became Baochai's girl. Anyway, as a servant, she has never had human rights.

Jiafu is a complicated small society, and everything is complicated. Jia's family is just a family, but it reflects many social phenomena, such as indifference, lofty trampling on inferiority, coveting enjoyment and exploitation. Since the age of sixteen, Wang Xifeng has been in charge of Jiafu, and he has seen all kinds of things in Jiafu more thoroughly than the average person. She is not a good person who is in charge of everyone, but many things she sees and participates in are terrible.

Wang Xifeng once complained sweetly to Jia Lian: "You know, which of our housekeepers is easy to pester?" They joke, joke, and complain about mulberry trees if they are a little wrong. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, killing people with swords, attracting wind and blowing fire, standing on the dry shore and pushing down an oil bottle are all martial arts. Besides, I'm still young, and I'm a first-class, so I have to pay attention. "

If it weren't for Wang Xifeng's high efficiency, he would have been bullied by them. Wang Xifeng used a high-handed policy to make them dare not expect anything, but they may not be completely convinced of Wang Xifeng and still go looking for trouble. If a family develops like this, it is only a matter of time before the scourge of confiscation of property and genocide exists.

In addition to complicated work, Jia's interpersonal relationship is equally complicated and terrible. Jiafu is a small society interwoven by overlapping and complicated interpersonal networks. Whether it's the butler deacon of the Jia family or your wet nurse's maid, etc. , are the relatives of the parties and the hospital, are interrelated, there are countless entanglements and intrigues between them.

Although Sophia Kao, a girl from Yingchun, lives with Jia Zheng, she is still in Jia She's room. Siqi used her own formula, from Mrs. Xing's granddaughter Wang Shanbao's family, and dared to smash the small kitchen with others. Later, she falsely accused Liu Sao, the kitchen steward, of corruption. At one time, she wanted her aunt Qin Xianjia to take her place, but Pinger refused to arbitrate. Later, Si Qi thought that when Pan Youan, a private cousin, was found to have been severely punished, Mrs. Wang could make an eviction order, but the final disposal right was in the hands of Mrs. Xing.

Siqi is just a little maid, but it makes sense to set foot in several rooms. The Jia family's interpersonal network is complex from generation to generation, and it is not unreasonable to accidentally offend people.

Jia's indifference to human feelings is extreme. I don't blame Baoyu for hating married older women. Their cruelty is simply outrageous. Qingwen is just talkative on weekdays. They can sue Mrs. Wang for framing Qingwen and let Qingwen be driven away and die. Siqi just wanted to say a few more words when she was kicked out, hoping that Yingchun and Baoyu could intercede for her, but she had no strength at all and kept kicking Siqi out.

The death of Second Sister You is also the indifference of Jia's human feelings. You Erjie was greedy enough to steal Jia Lian and was tricked into Jia Fu by Wang Xifeng. However, with the change of Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng's attitude towards Second Sister You, people in Jia Fu bullied Second Sister You more and more. Until the end, Second Sister You was forced to swallow gold and died, and no one gave any pity or blame, as if the life and death of Second Sister You had nothing to do with anyone. You Erjie's death is not the responsibility of Wang Xifeng alone. Many people acted as spectators.

Enjoy and exploit coexist. The Jia family enjoyed unprecedented wealth and the glory brought by Princess Yuanchun, so they were all immersed in the enjoyment of drunkenness. Everyone had a good time, forgetting the hardships of starting a business and the fact that Jia's building was crumbling. A crab feast in Jia's house is a farmer's consumption for a year, which is the daily life of Jia's house. Jia can live such a luxurious life, but they all live by exploitation.

Jia Zhen said a word to Wu Zhuangtou, who came to pay a New Year call: "Don't ask who you want." Although this is simple, it is a heavy burden for tenants who have jobs. It is necessary to bear a layer of exploitation by Jia Zhen and other masters, and it is also necessary to experience another squeeze by the black-hearted Wu Zhuangtou. Perhaps we can see the hardships of people's lives from here.

The true story is expressed by assumptions. It seems that the author is only writing trivial things between people, but careful reading is a cruel fact, which makes people panic and think deeply. Why did this happen at that time? Why do people bully each other so often? Without a correct outlook on life, world outlook and values, scholars do not take everyone as their responsibility, and ordinary people only focus on obtaining their own interests. Combined, everything is in a mess and the darkness is obvious.

Third, talk about love, praise beautiful friendship and love, praise rebellion and resistance. A Dream of Red Mansions is actually about love except the real part. There are many kinds and forms of family ties, but the most important ones are family ties, friendship and love, which are indispensable in our lives. Everyone loves others and wants to be loved by others, so affection is the beginning of everything and has to be mentioned.

The horror of suppressing emotions and the value of free love A Dream of Red Mansions is not vulgar at all, but it seems ordinary but has moving charm everywhere. In ancient times, "parents' orders, matchmakers' words", married men and women knew that they were strangers, unfamiliar and ignorant at the moment before marriage. It is very unlikely that two people can follow Qi Mei's example, and it is rare to treat each other as guests, so the possibility of happiness in such a marriage is very small.

Although the main idea is to talk about love, it is only a record of love, not an empty talk. It is comparable to blindly inviting romance and privately booking a stolen alliance.

In this era of repressed emotions, free love is particularly valuable. As rebels of the feudal system, Daiyu and Baoyu refused to accept the marriage arranged by their parents and wanted to break this absurd system, so they pursued freedom and spiritual harmony and dared to challenge the feudal system.

Yuanyang is only the son of Jiafu, that is, the child born in Jiafu. Although she is only a servant, she doesn't want to be forced into marriage by Master Jia She. Yuanyang will not compromise no matter whether it threatens her future or destiny. If she had to be forced to do it, she would rather be a nun or end her life. It was Yuanyang's brave attitude and resourcefulness that enabled her to do whatever she wanted without marrying Jia She. Although you can't marry the person you love, you'd rather die than marry the person you don't like.

In A Dream of Red Mansions, there are many girls who are so persistent and persistent about love, such as Qingwen, Lingguan who painted Qiang in rainy days, Zhang Jinge who died for love, and only likes the colorful clouds of Jia Huan. They used their youth and years to show the best of love.

A friend in life is like a nightingale, and the rest of my life is enough. If you want to be friends with anyone in the Grand View Garden, the nightingale is definitely the best choice. She is the only girl who treats her master wholeheartedly and does not betray her, and she is also the only girl who treats her master as a relative. Although Zijuan followed Daiyu when she arrived in Jiafu, she was kind to Daiyu, just like Zijuan and Mammy Wang that Daiyu brought from Suzhou.

Zijuan not only takes care of Daiyu's daily life, but also always finds a sad Daiyu. In winter, she will remember to send a hand stove. When she comes out for a long time, she will come out to find Daiyu and wait for Daiyu to come home in Xiaoxiang Pavilion. I will also understand Daiyu's heart and make plans for her marriage. Whether testing Baoyu with emotion or asking Aunt Xue for help regardless of discretion, what Zijuan does is to hope that Daiyu is good. Zijuan said that no matter where Daiyu went, she would always accompany her, and she could do it.

The reason why Zijuan is so kind to Daiyu is that Daiyu is very kind to her. Their friendship is really the most touching pair of friends. They don't need superfluous words, just silently accompany her and do all the good things for her.

In a word, A Dream of Red Mansions has profound central ideas and implications. Whether Cao Gong records the outstanding girls in life, exposes the truest darkness with false words, or tells us that the world is sentient and righteous and worthwhile, these are all very interesting parts. Maybe I can only glimpse a small corner of it now, but I still feel very shocked. The advantage of this book is that it can be read repeatedly. From the beginning, it was only for the rough reading of the story, to the intensive reading of a small detail, the source of an artifact, the arrangement of a plot and so on. And the deep meaning can always be understood!
