The Dream of the Red Chamber in what way breaks the "historical novel stereotype"?

First of all, as Lu Xun pointed out, "Dream of Red Mansions" "dares to describe truthfully, and no embellishment, and the former novels to describe the good man is completely good, the bad man is completely bad, is very different, so the characters described in them, are real characters see the history of the Chinese novel of the change." . Dream of Red Mansions" to shape the character image, a reversal of the "Chi monster", "legend" of the traditional approach, not only completely "humanized", and write out the complexity of thought and character. The nineteenth of this book is criticized:

According to this book, a Baoyu, Baoyu's person, is my generation in the book and know that there is this person, but have not seen personally. This book is written in a Baoyu, every time people do not understand; Baoyu's nature, every piece of ridiculous; not only in the world to see such a person has not been, that is, read all the novels and legends of the present and the past, but also have not seen such a text. In the knitting knitting is even worse, its gulp in the real can be explained, can be explained in the and can not be said to be rationale. The eyes of the thought, but as really see a treasure jade, really heard the words, moved to the second person can not, but also not text carry on.

Not only is Bao Yu a typical character that has never appeared in all the novels and legends of the past and present, but the Dream of the Red Chamber also breaks the mold of novels by writing about a group of hairpins: "There are one hundred women who are all as beautiful as a face of jade". For example, in the third installment of Yingchun, Tanchun and Shichun, the author's introduction of their physical appearance and mental temperament is specific and vivid in Yingchun and Tanchun, while in Shichun, it is to the point. A戌本脂批批评云: "深写一笔更妙！必个写去则板板。 Must be written to the board is carried out. Ridiculous recent novels, there are a hundred women are like flowers and jade face." Jia Yucun in "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a "traitor" type of corrupt officials, he did all the bad things, and ungrateful. However, the first time he appeared, the author wrote that he was "poor and embarrassed in his old clothes, but he was born with a round waist and a thick back, a broad face and a square mouth, as well as a sword eyebrow and starry eyes, a straight nose and a powerful cheek". A Hundred and Thirty-four this fat bibliography have feelings and said: "is (Wang) Mang, (Cao) Cao Yung."" The most ridiculous world of the novel, all write traitors with mouse ears eagle cheeks and other words."

The selection of two subjects

China's novels since the Song and Yuan dynasties, in the selection of subjects, there are two prominent phenomena: more than from the history (history and wild history) on the people and events, like each other. Dream of Red Mansions, on the other hand, is directly based on the life of the author's time, without the same subject matter to draw on, and is entirely created on the basis of the author's personal experience of the life he has heard, seen and experienced. Whether writing about the "rise and fall" of the noble family or the "sorrows and joys" of the many women living in the noble family, the author was able to "trace the traces" of the real life, express the true feelings and write the "true story".

The subject matter of the novel is closely related to the "Dream of Red Mansions" more than get rid of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin" and so on, the tendency to emphasize the bizarre twists and turns of the storyline, but also a reversal of the "Golden Lotus Plum" of the exposure of life in the ugliness of the family life is written to revel in the low-level interest of the bedside pleasure of the shortcomings of the bedside pleasure. Both write the social life of all kinds of evil and ugliness, but also write the beauty (people and things) of the destruction, "good feelings" of the persecution of the tragedy; the storyline is ordinary but colorful, although trivial and fascinating. To cite an example, to see a spot: 17th, wrote Mrs. Wang ordered a copy of the Grand View Garden, and then personally came to the Yihongyuan, ousted

Go away Qingwen, Fangguan and all the singing girls, and on the attacker, musk month said: "You be careful, and then a little something else, I will not forgive. Because I asked people to check, this year is not appropriate to move, temporarily through this year, next year and give me still move out before the heart clean." Gengchen this here has a two-line clip to analyze very well:

A section of the magical ghosts surprised text, I do not know where to come up with. Mrs. Wang has never taken care of the household. And the previous article is not unlimited tongue, infiltration of slander, not a day. Without this change, not only the end of the game, but also not close to reason. Moreover, this is also my old witnessed personally heard, the author of the experience of the existing text, not search and create, so it is not with the novel of the clutch of the sad and happy pattern relative. I want to be scattered by the son of a large family to see this, although there are different things, but their feelings and reasoning seem to have a tacit understanding in the heart of it. This paragraph is not only criticized this, really from the Grand View Garden and Jia mother on the sadness of the end, can be attached to it.

Three structure

"Dream of Red Mansions" due to the subject matter and plot to break the "historical novels", so its structure is also in the inheritance of the previous chapter of novels and operas on the basis of innovation. The structure of the "Four Great Wonders" of the Ming Dynasty has its own characteristics: "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a rope braid structure, telling the stories of the three kingdoms, which are intricately intertwined; "Water Margin" is an organic combination of short serialized stories, focusing on the process of 108 heroes forced to go to the Liangshan Mountain (which is also a history of the growth of the ideology and character of the main characters); "Journey to the West" is a pearl-layer structure, in which the origins of Sun Wukong and the Tang Monk are introduced, and then the Tang Monk and the Monk and the Monk and the Monk and the Monk and the Monk and the Monk and the Monk and the Monk and the Monk and the Monk are introduced. After introducing the origin of Sun Wukong and the Tang Monk, it takes the four members of the Tang Monk and his disciples as the clues to fetch scriptures in the West, and links a series of stories about the fights between gods and demons into a coherent story (which deepens the characters of the Sun Wukong and the Tang Monk); Jin Ping Mei (The Plum in the Golden Vase) extensively depicts all aspects of the society through the ups and downs of the family of Ximen Qing and his group of concubines. Before the introduction of Dream of Red Mansions in the Qing Dynasty, several chapter books, such as Legend of the Waking Marriage and Lin Lanxiang, were structured in the style of Jinpingmei; Lanterns on the Wayward Path, with one person and one thing (the misadventure of Tan Shaowen, the boy of a family, and the return of a prodigal son), runs through the whole book; and The History of the Ru Lin Wai Shi is "quite the same as the short system, even though it is a long one". The structure of Dream of the Red Chamber is more complex, more rigorous and more ambitious than the above books. It takes the rise and fall of the feudal aristocracy represented by the Jia family as the warp, linking the top and bottom of the society; the triple tragedy of Baoyu and Daiyu's rebellion, love and search for a new life, as well as the tragedy of Baoyu and Baochai's marriage as the latitude, linking the tragedies of the "group of hairpin" inside and outside of the Grand View Garden, which is intertwined with the warp and the woof and constitutes a rounded mesh structure reflecting the social outlook of a historical era in an all-round way. It must be pointed out that "Dream of the Red Chamber" is made up of realistic stories and mythological stories, and is written from the end of the mythological stories, using the method of real with virtual.

Four, on the issue of love and marriage

"Dream of Red Mansions" not only breaks through the end of the Ming and early Qing Dynasty novels of talent and beauty of the "man and woman", "pity for talent and love of color" of the love of the cliché, but also corrects the "Golden Lotus and Plum" and "Golden Lotus and Plum" type of novels, or the rendering of karma, or obsessed with men and women's perversion of the undesirable tendencies of the sexual love. Through the tragic love history of Jia Baoyu and the "group hairpin", "Dream of the Red Chamber" puts forward the new concept that men and women must be like-minded, respect each other, and come from their own will, without considering the interests of their families. It goes without saying that this is a modern concept of love and marriage. In the description of love, "Dream of Red Mansions" is a departure from the stereotype of "stealing incense, stealing jade, secretly eloping", and writes "the true love of children". In terms of the love of Baodai, Baoyu is in love with Daiyu, choose "wood and stone before the alliance", not out of the family (in terms of family, Baochai than Daiyu more ideal), not because of talent and appearance (from the point of view of talent and appearance, hairpin, Dai is difficult to distinguish between the higher and the lower), but only due to the Daiyu

never and he said those "career economy" of the "bastard words". Similarly, Daiyu's love for Bao Yu, to attract him as a confidant, not to be Bao two grandma, only because Bao Yu respect, considerate of women, do not want to take the feudalistic way of life. Because of the treasure, dai's love is built on the *** with the same rebellious ideology based on character, only for the feudal parents and feudal marriage can not be, can only end in tragedy. It must be pointed out that, treasure, dai love and the development of a tortuous and painful process; the author of their love portrayal, focusing on the "intention of pornography", never involved in the "skin pornography", style and interest is very high.

Fifth

"Dream of Red Mansions" breaks the pattern of "happy ending" of novels, and writes a series of shocking tragedies in the 18th century, which is typical of

Jia Rong and Ning's total collapse, as well as a series of shocking tragedies of Jia Baoyu and "Qun Hairpin" who live in this family.

This is the first time that the author has written about his love for his family.
