Five Comments on A Dream of Red Mansions

A Dream of Red Mansions is an encyclopedia of China's late feudal society. Focusing on the four families in the upper class, the novel vividly describes the whole life of China feudal society in the first half of the18th century. It is a mirror and miniature of this historical life, and a true portrayal of the irretrievable collapse of China's ancient feudal society. The characters are vividly written, and a story-the story of stone-begins with the fairy tale of Nu Wa. There is a clue to the hermit, which ends the whole story.

On the other side of the distant ocean, there is another country-Britain. She gave birth to a great, outstanding and brilliant playwright-Shakespeare. He developed a unique art form-drama with his own life experience. At that time, a nation, the immortal soul of that era, expressed itself in various forms and enriched itself. Just like the subtle relationship between Shakespeare and drama, Cao Xueqin and his Dream of Red Mansions are both part of the immortal soul of our Chinese nation. He is not so much an asynchronous masterpiece as a general history of China. It is not so much a description of aristocratic life as a true portrayal of the present situation. It reflects the charm of that language from small details, and creates many characters with vivid language. From the character's every move, smile and relax. Nothing can show the characteristics of the characters, so it can be said that there is no flaw in the narrative of that language. It can be seen that the development of a nation, the specific crux and the specific national planning are all related to this. This is not only a literary work, but also a Cambodian book.

The first 80 times and the last 40 times, I think it's just the opposite. There are many flaws in it. Jia Baoyu, for example, has been hinted that he is a tragic figure in the first eighty chapters, but in Gao E's works, he has become a scholar who is willing to study and take exams. From an urchin to a studious person, there is almost no connection between the two, which is incredible. Finally, I left my pregnant Baochai and became a monk. Moreover, it is said that Gao E continued to write A Dream of Red Mansions because of the previous funds. I don't think a person with a less pure original intention can understand Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions. Can't write well. Besides, it is very difficult and not easy to create a character like Cao Xueqin. I think it's better to keep these forty chapters from writing, to give people room for daydreaming or to listen to beautiful things.

Three thoughts on A Dream of Red Mansions: I always think that the greatness of A Dream of Red Mansions is that it embodies a declining trend, which is rare in China's classical novels. I like to get together rather than leave, and I like a happy ending.

I have to thank Gao E, his successor. Although he couldn't keep up with Cao Xueqin's thoughts in many aspects, he at least let Daiyu die. Whether she died or not, at least she left Baoyu, which is very good.

It's not that I'm born cruel and like to watch other people's tragedies, but isn't there a saying? An old frontiersman loses his horse—a blessing in disguise. For a fragile feudal girl like Dai Yu, death is her liberation, the end of all her tragedies and her happiness. When she slept quietly in the ground and watched Baoyu still looking for a way out on earth, I had to say that she was still happy.

Maybe two people are romantic people, and romantic people should not meet each other by nature, because life is not romantic, and life will kill romance completely. Finally, the red rose turned into mosquito blood on the wall, and the white rose turned into white rice stuck to the chest. So, let romance come to an end at the most beautiful time and leave beautiful memories in each other's hearts.

But you might say that Daiyu's death was tragic and not romantic at all. In this respect, I don't approve of Gao E's sequel. Maybe Cao Xueqin didn't mean it. Maybe Daiyu really should shed tears to prove the front. Isn't this better? She was worried about Baoyu and wept bitterly for her bosom friend. In deep thinking, such a death is neither noble nor sacred. However, Gao E did not write this. He finally made Daiyu vulgar, resentful and furious. This is not like the arrogant and self-admiring Daiyu we know, but like an ordinary woman who is frustrated in love.

Nevertheless, she finally left this trouble spot before Jia Fu collapsed, otherwise, because of her fragility, I'm afraid she couldn't stand such a big stimulus. Baoyu is a dude. He is not a man of indomitable spirit. He can give Daiyu little, let alone protection and comfort. He is still a weak person who needs protection from others, and Daiyu can't be happy around him.

So it is a kind of happiness to leave him memories. Baoyu himself can only give Daiyu a few good words. He's not even obsessed. Looking at Baochai's fate, I have to say that Daiyu is happy. Of course, some people say that Baochai only wants Grandma Bao's throne and doesn't care about Baoyu. Is that so? Is there a woman who naturally likes loneliness? Anyway, it is always painful to live alone. Besides, it is still a question whether she took the so-called grandmother Bao's throne.

If Jia Fu fails, at least Baochai still has a place to live, at least she has no husband and wealth, but isn't that right? Finally, Jia Fu was reduced to the point where the white land was really clean. What is the significance of the title of Grandma Bao Er to Baochai? Without a happy life and the care of her husband, isn't it a greater tragedy to live alone and die alone?

I always suspected that Baoyu didn't leave Jiafu because of Daiyu, otherwise he wouldn't have married Baochai. He was born at last, because his world had undergone earth-shaking changes, his ivory tower collapsed, and he finally understood his struggle. In fact, all his thoughts are on his family, and his family has collapsed, and everything is finished. Without any thoughts and struggles, he had to run away from home, perhaps to avoid disaster.

Imagine, can you imagine Daiyu washing her hands and cooking soup? Dressed in rags and skirts, and even relying on the relief of attacking people, then of course she can no longer be mean and gossip, but can only cry alone, not about love, but about life. When life has put a huge question mark on Baodai's love, can Daiyu still love Baoyu as always? I don't think so. I'm afraid the Longwang Temple will be flooded. Then Baoyu finally couldn't stand the pressure at home and left, which is very possible. He can't afford to live without taking good care of Baochai. The same is true of Daiyu.

Another possibility is that if Jia Fu can regroup, Gui Lan and Qi Fang, Dai Yu and Baoyu still live their happy lives, after many years, Baoyu may suddenly find his face wrinkled, then he will find the attacker around him like Aunt Zhao, and then his love will pass away in the years, and then Baoyu will recall that round and smooth baby sister.

In fact, love is very short. At least this kind of cross love gives us a lot of beautiful fantasies and expectations, just like Jack to Ross. He is the most beautiful memory in her life, but not the only one. In fact, I don't think A Dream of Red Mansions is a love novel. The love tragedy of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu is not the central story, but this disastrous tragedy is indeed the main clue of the whole book. In any case, we have deeply regretted the ending of these two people. Of course, two rebels of the landlord class tried to dominate their marriage and destiny, and the outcome was doomed to be tragic. Let me talk about Lin Daiyu's character and thoughts first. She is "proud and confident, and there is no dust at present", which is obviously incompatible with the surrounding environment. "So few people in the Jia family like him except Baoyu." "The sword is cold and severe 360 days a year" and "the quality is clean and neat, and it is not allowed to sink." A funeral poem describes the pollution of the surrounding environment, anger at persecution and despair and sorrow for the broad future. This is also the source of her bitter and crying personality. She is a typical aristocratic girl with rebellious spirit. Jia Baoyu is also a typical rebellious spirit. As a wealthy and idle person in the Grand View Garden, Jia Baoyu naturally has a lot of dudes' habits and is deeply branded by the aristocratic landlord class. However, compared with Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Xue Pan, he is really a temperament. He did not take the right path of studying, being an official, becoming famous and respecting the Lord, but attacked those who were keen on fame and fortune and career economy. Scold Xue Baochai and others to persuade him to pay attention to the fact that the career economy is an "asshole", and even more overturned the article: "The spirit of beauty between heaven and earth is only for women, and men just write scum." He even resented himself, "Why were you born in the waiting room? Twill brocade also wrapped my dead tree; Sheep wine only fills the mud ditch in my cesspit: the word wealth is really poisonous! " These thoughts and behaviors were against feudal orthodoxy and were naturally unacceptable at that time. So Bao Dai's idea can be said to be the same. She never thought Baoyu was talking about a bastard. She regarded Baoyu as a confidant. Their love is also based on this rebellious spirit. We can see two obvious characteristics: one is the rebellion against feudal orthodoxy, especially against Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism and stereotyped imperial examination; First, I feel helpless and desperate for myself, my family and the future of my class. Lin Daiyu may be in a helpless and helpless position because she is a woman, so the pressure of survival is heavier and she is depressed. One hopes that "a cup of pure land will hide the wind", and the other hopes that it will turn into dust and smoke, or be "sent to that secluded place where there are no birds, and disappear with the wind, so don't be a man again." On the one hand, it is a rebellious spirit that is extremely uncoordinated with the surrounding areas, and on the other hand, it is a sense of despair and decline towards this class. This rebellious thought, reflected in the love at that time, was quite morbid, deformed and pathetic. I can only end up with a "no sad song for me, flowers fall and people die". Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang deliberately planned a scam, insisting that Xue Baochai marry Baoyu, just to get in touch with the four families and expand their political power. When it comes to the key to safeguarding her own interests, Jia will not hesitate to kill her lifeblood and darling. However, Bao Dai and others have repeatedly pinned their hopes for marriage on Jia Mu, hoping to get her support and promise, which is simply pedantic and extremely weak. Think about their thought of despising feudal "official career economy" to oppose the "marriage of wood and stone" carefully arranged by feudal moralists. How can they not end up in crash and burn? Sadly, we have seen the love tragedy caused by this absurd class concept, but we still can't avoid the concept of forced marriage in real society, which keeps marriage away from love until it withers and lasts forever.

I have seen a dream of red mansions, one is Xianpa in Yuen Long, and the other is immaculate jade. If there is no strange fate, I will meet him again in my life. If there is a strange fate, how can my heart be empty? One is crying in vain, and the other is worrying about nothing. One is the moon in the water, and the other is the flower in the mirror. I wonder how many tears there are in my eyes, how can autumn flow to the end of winter and how can spring flow to summer! -"Curling Eyebrows" and "Dream of Red Mansions", a tragedy of laughing and laughing. A Dream of Red Mansions not only describes the life of three generations of a feudal aristocratic family from glory to decline, but also boldly accuses the feudal aristocratic class of its shamelessness and depravity, pointing out their hypocrisy, fraud, greed, decay and sin. It not only points out the inevitable collapse and death of this family, but also implies the inevitable collapse and death of the class and society to which this family belongs. The heroes created and loved by Cao Xueqin's brushwork are two ministers and traitors who dare to judge the dying feudal aristocracy; Those who sympathize and mourn are the victims under the feudal system; What is criticized and denied is the hypocritical morality and unreasonable social system in feudal society. On the one hand, it was the former wood and stone alliance, on the other hand, it was a golden wedding. On the one hand, it is the aura of fame and fortune that feudal society must pursue, on the other hand, it is a fascinating free body. A Dream of Red Mansions written by Cao Xueqin shows us this silent contest. The tragic love story of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu condensed all the smoke in this contest. "One is Xianpa in Yuen Long, and the other is flawless jade." The pursuit of quality is clean and neat. "In the face of all kinds of persecution and indifference under feudal ethics, even at the cost of life, the pursuit of quality and purity has never given up. While lamenting the love tragedy between Jia and Lin, we can see an important factor that caused the tragedy: Lin Daiyu's lofty personality was incompatible with the secular world at that time and could not be "integrated" with society. Her inferiority complex is the embodiment of her self-esteem and the beginning of her tragedy. In A Dream of Red Mansions, she buries flowers, which is the focus of her personality. Her inferiority, self-esteem and self-pity are fully revealed in her "mourning poems": "Flowers wither, flowers fly all over the sky, and fragrance dies. Who has pity?" "Three hundred and sixty days a year, wind knives and frost swords are pressed against each other, bright and bright, and it is hard to find a wandering. It's easier to see flowers than to find them. I'm worried about burying the flower man in front of the steps. I only steal flowers and shed tears, but I can see the blood stains on the branches. " "May Nong have wings this day and fly to the end of the day with flowers. The day is over! Where is Xiangshan? Without a trick, I hid my love with a pure land. It's better to be clean than trapped in a ditch. I am going to die and be buried, but I don't know when Nong will die. The man who buried the flowers is laughing today, but who did he know when he buried them? Let's see the residual flowers of spring gradually falling, which is the time when beauty dies of old age. There is no sad song for me, I don't know if the flowers fall and people die. "A secular person can't understand her thoughts." I'm dead and buried, but when will I die? "People who bury flowers are laughing today. Who did he know when he buried them? " In the face of falling flowers, she thought of the scene after her death, unable to let go and shed tears. In front of feudal ethics, her inferiority aroused her self-esteem. When Baoyu was beaten, it was difficult for a clever woman to send Dan medicine to Xue Baochai, who had no rice to cook, and she also advised Baoyu to change his ways with admonition. As a supporter of Baoyu, a rebel of feudal ethics, Lin Daiyu, who is kind and aloof, just cried blindly, tears like peaches. Her crying is not weak. She sincerely supported Baoyu with her unique emotional experience of crying, and silently opposed feudal ethics. Therefore, it is only recently that I have a heart and a favorite. "Quiet as a flower shines on the water, moving like a weak willow, the heart is dry, and the disease is as good as Xizi wins three points." Through Jia Baoyu's eyes, the author depicts a morbid beauty that is intelligent, versatile, beautiful and weak. Such a weak woman ignores the secular traditional laws and does the opposite. After countless times of destruction, when the end of life came, the ferocious face of feudal society accelerated her death. After reading A Dream of Red Mansions, we will never forget the scene before Daiyu died. When she was dying, Zijuan asked for help everywhere, but no one wanted to help. The old lady moved Baoyu's marriage to another place to avoid disaster. On the one hand, it is a festive scene of marriage, on the other hand, it is a sadness before death. "The day is over! Where is Xiangshan? " No wonder Daiyu buried flowers and kept chanting. Where is a clean and ideal place? Where is my own ideal place? Is it Xiang Qiu? The real society I live in now is filthy. I want to find my ideal place. Daiyu will never give up her pursuit of freedom until she dies. We are worried and dissatisfied with this. Under the yoke of feudalism, a pair of young men and women who are pursuing freedom are writing Where Are You Going? "Don't mourn for me, I don't know if the flowers fall and people die!" In this way, Daiyu died in the sound of Baoyu's wedding drums. Left with her sweetness. Where is the sweetness? Sweetness gains understanding and love in a world where one person does not accept the world and the world does not accept people. In the lonely world, Baoyu is the eternal warmth in her heart. In this world where love is nowhere to be found, Baoyu is the eternal pain in her heart. Although in the end she became a victim of those feudal systems. False is true, really false, and there is nothing to be done. "False is true, and people in a dream of red mansions can't figure it out. As a soul figure, Lin Daiyu is different from ordinary people. She is her, a bunch of lofty and aloof, narcissistic and withdrawn. Lin Daiyu's inferiority complex was given by fate, and she also wrote about her fate. A dream of red mansions is extensive and profound. Often see, often update, everyone feels it. Being enlightened every time is its immortal charm.
