A Dream of Red Mansions is a great classical novel. Why does the author say it is "full of absurd words"?

Cao Xueqin, the author of A Dream of Red Mansions, said at the first time: "The paper is full of absurd things and bitter tears. Dou Yun's author is stupid, who knows the taste? " What do you mean "ridiculous"? The dictionary explains that it is strange that thoughts, words and deeds do not conform to common sense and human feelings. Obviously, it is incorrect to interpret the best classical novel A Dream of Red Mansions in this way.

So, how to understand Cao Xueqin's "full of absurd words"? The fairy tale woven at the beginning of the work is beautiful and absurd. Nu Wa tried to mend the sky by refining stones, leaving an unusable stone. Because of her spirituality, she became a mortal. A monk agreed to the request of the stubborn stone and turned it into a beautiful jade, which was brought to the world in the size of a fan pendant, that is, the world-famous Baoyu contained in the mouth of the protagonist Jia Baoyu when he was born. Later, Shi recorded his own life experience and became a literary masterpiece A Dream of Red Mansions.

Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu were reincarnated as Shen Ying waiter and crimson pearl fairy respectively. When they first met, this work was a legend. Earlier, Lin Daiyu heard from her mother that her cousin Baoyu was stubborn and hated reading very much. When I arrived in Jiafu, I heard from my aunt that he was a "curse" at home and a "devil on earth". But when she saw him, she was shocked and thought, "It was strange to be born, but I seem to have seen him there." How familiar! "

When Baoyu met Daiyu, he said, "I have seen this sister." It turns out that these are all because they formed an indissoluble bond in the mythical world in their previous lives. In order to thank the waiter Shen Ying for watering, the crimson pearl fairy came to the world with Baoyu.

Cao Xueqin also created a dreamland of goddess life in his works. The goddess here is different from all the gods at home and abroad. They are in charge of people's emotional world This is a world where women are superior to men. The method of educating people here is very different from other goddesses. But drunk with spirit, drunk with fairy tea, alert with wonderful songs, and marry sisters.

The whole book of A Dream of Red Mansions, especially the theme of the works, is based on realism, but from the above aspects, it has a distinct and prominent romantic color. Therefore, it is exaggerated for Cao Xueqin to say that his works are "full of absurd words", but there are also reasons.

Conclusion: In addition, some important plots in the novel are also ridiculous. For example, in the 25th time, Aunt Zhao won the favor of the old lady because she didn't like Baoyu and Wang Xifeng, and colluded with Ma Daopo to drive Baoyu and Wang Xifeng crazy with "fantasy". Baoyu and Wang Xifeng would have died if the Taoist priest hadn't come to rescue them. This plot is not arranged in an imaginary world, but in real life, and it is really "absurd" to write so strangely.
