Today I heard many students say that Dream of Red Mansions is rubbish. I haven't seen it, and I'd like to hear your opinions. What do you think?

First of all, please do not compare "A Dream of Red Mansions" with current superficial time-travel dramas and harem dramas. There is no comparison. The literary value of Dream of Red Mansions will not be matched by China for another 200 years, and the so-called popular film and television dramas may turn into dust and be forgotten in a few years or more.

"Dream of Red Mansions" has been studied by countless people for 200 years (of course, today's red studies are somewhat distorted, and there are many pseudo-academics who use the reputation of "Dream of Red Mansions" to hype themselves up under the guise of red studies) Moreover, the first eighty existing chapters of Dream of Red Mansions are so rich in content, so profound in philosophy of life, and so exquisite in poetry, lyrics, and music that even another 200 years of research cannot exhaust them all.

I don’t know if you have read "A Dream of Red Mansions". Personal preference cannot be forced. However, if you want to have your own understanding, you should read the original work. If you are not interested or have patience, it is best not to follow others' opinions and make no comments. That's right, after all, Chinese literature has developed for so long, and "A Dream of Red Mansions" is still the highest point. Don't use such a bad word as "trash" to describe it, because many people love her very much.

Considering "A Dream of Red Mansions" as the story of a group of women is absurd in itself and does not make sense on the surface. Could it be that Lin Ruhai, Jia Yucun, Jia Zheng, Jia She, Jia Lian, Xue Pan, Xue Are Tataka and Liu Xianglian not considered male characters? Is their length so gorgeously ignored? As for Jia Baoyu, on the surface it seems that he has been "hanging around" for a long time. He usually treats girls more kindly and affectionately (admittedly his shortcomings are also obvious), but This "obliterates the blood of the Chinese people", which I find very strange. Could it be that Second Master Bao, who kicked the attacker until he vomited blood every day like it was the thirtieth time, became resolute and bloody?

Not to mention Cao Xueqin’s literary talent on the surface, the poems and so on in it are all painstaking, and you can understand them if you read them thoroughly. The writing techniques used by Cao Xueqin are really difficult for him to imagine. The names in "Red Mansions" are all homophonic and have different meanings. Chapter 5 is the general outline of the book. "Good Song" and its annotations are the keynote of the book (this is my understanding). If you dig deeper, you will find foreshadowings everywhere, mysteries in every sentence, and connections between every word. Every word or sentence may be alluding to politics or criticizing those in power. The ingenious conception is unparalleled by idol dramas and "men's dramas".

The other three masterpieces among the four famous works, "Journey to the West" is compiled based on Xuanzang's study and Buddhist experience in "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty"; "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a comprehensive collection of folklore and opera by Luo Guanzhong. The storybook was created based on historical materials from Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" and Pei Songzhi's notes; "Water Margin" was compiled based on the legend of the Songjiang Uprising in the Northern Song Dynasty and folk tales; and "A Dream of Red Mansions" is about building a tall building from the ground, all written by Cao Xueqin based on his own experience The conception and creation, and the artistic conception of the writing style are much higher than the other three works. There is no doubt about the first one.

In fact, I don’t expect you to accept my words. My answer is just my personal opinion. Because everyone has their own preferences, it doesn’t matter whether you like "Red Mansions" or not, but no one has the right to belittle other people’s classics~~

Also, the mainstream of society is not determined by one or two people. , let alone what book determines it. The ancients said, "The water is as close as the moon." In the final analysis, the people will be what the people in power are.

If China can one day have such a good cultural atmosphere that reading "Dream of Red Mansions" becomes mainstream, then it will be culturally strong in the true sense (again, I emphasize that Dream of Red Mansions is not a love novel or a history of the rise and fall of a family, and Jia Baoyu is not a transvestite) , Lin Daiyu doesn’t just cry, get sick, or act petty. The Dream of Red Mansions is great, and it would be too superficial to treat her one-sidedly)
