Dream of the Red Chamber" in what aspects of the novel broke the "historical stereotypes"

"Dream of Red Mansions" in the following aspects of breaking the "historical novel stereotypes"

A Hundred Days of the first time there is a paragraph of the main text said: "as for the clutch of sadness and joy, the rise and fall of the encounter, and tracking traces, do not dare to a little wear

chiseling, futilely for the eyes of the people, and lose its true biography." Here, lip Yan Zhai has two eyebrow comments:

The thing is the real thing, but also recounted to have the interstices, there are twists and turns, there are smooth and reverse, there are reflections, there are hidden and see, there are positive there are leaps, to grass

snake gray line, the empty valley to pass the sound, a hit two sound, open repair inn road, secretly crossing the Chencang, cloud dragon fog and rain, the two mountain confrontation, bake the clouds to the moon, the back of the

Face Fu Fu Powder, a thousand chapped ten thousand dyed all the oddities. The book of the secret method, and no less. I've been searching for and analyzing the book for a long time, and I've been able to understand it, so I'm going to wait for

the best, and then I'm going to tell you what's wrong with it.

Opening a book, really break the mold of the novel. The first is the "Zhuangzi", "Li Sao" of the sub.

Here, Lipstick's discerning eye reveals the aesthetic pursuit and artistic achievement of "A Dream of Red Mansions"." Break the historical novel style

molars", this is the "Dream of Red Mansions" aesthetic pursuit; and in the "real thing" based on the "Zhuangzi", "Li Sao" and other traditional literature

scholarship, pay attention to the penmanship of the varied, is the "Dream of Red Mansions" outstanding artistic achievements.

Li Yan Zhai's brilliant insight, summarized by Lu Xun, became "In short, since the Dream of Red Mansions came out, the traditional thinking

thinking and writing methods are broken" see "the history of the Chinese novel changes". The first is that the "Dream of the Red Chamber" is the first of its kind in the world.

First of all, as Lu Xun pointed out, Meng of the Red Chamber "dares to be truthful and unapologetic, different from previous novels which described good people as all good and bad people as all bad, so the characters described in it are all real characters. See The History of the Chinese Novel

Changes in History." . The Dream of the Red Chamber" shapes the characters, contrary to the traditional methods of "Chi Monster" and "Legend", not only completely "human

ization", but also writes out the complexity of the ideological character.

By the 19th of the book, there is a criticism:

By this book, a Baoyu, Baoyu's person, is my generation in the book and know that there is this person, but not seen personally.

7

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 is not

has been, that is to say, read all the novels and legends of ancient times, but also have not seen such a text. In the knitting knitting is even worse, its complete incomprehension in the real

solution, can be interpreted and can not be said to explain the rationale. The eyes think, but as a real see a treasure jade, really heard the words, moved to the second person can not,

also not text carry on.

Not only is Baoyu a typical character that has never appeared in all the novels and sagas of the past and present, the Dream of Red Mansions also breaks the stereotype of novels by writing about a group of hairpins: "There are a hundred women who all look like flowers and jade with one face". For example, in the third installment of the novel,

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戌本脂批评云: "深写一笔更妙! Must be written to the board is carried out. Ridiculous recent small

saying, there are a hundred women are like flowers like jade face."

Jia Yucun in the "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a "treacherous" type of corrupt officials, he did all the bad things, but also ungrateful. However, the first

back to the appearance, the author wrote that he was "worn scarves and old clothes, although poor, but was born with a round waist and thick back, broad face and square mouth, and sword eyebrow and starry eyes, straight

nose right cheeks". 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, where write a treacherous

people with rat ears eagle cheeks and other words."

Secondly, China's novels since the Song and Yuan dynasties have two prominent phenomena in the selection of themes: most of them are taken from people and events in history (both positive

history and wild history), and they like to inherit from each other.

The Dream of the Red Chamber, on the other hand, draws directly from the life of the author's time, without

the same subject matter to draw on, and is created entirely on the basis of the author's life as he heard, witnessed and personally 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 is able to "trace the traces" of the reality of

life, express the true feelings, and write the "true story".

What is closely related to the subject matter of the novel is that "Dream of Red Mansions" not only got rid of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin" and so on, which emphasizes the bizarre

twisting and turning storyline tendency, but also contrary to the "Jinpingmei" of the exposure of the ugliness of life, family life is written in the joy of the

Dao low-class interest in the bed of the ills of the bed. Not only write out the social life of all kinds of evil and ugly, but also write out 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, in order to see a spot: the seventeenth, wrote Mrs. Wang ordered a copy of the Grand View Garden, and then personally came to Yihongyuan, ousted

Ching Wen, Fang Guan and all the singing girls, and on the attacker, musk month said: "You be careful, and then a little more outside

things, I will not forgive. Because I asked people to check out, this year is not appropriate to move, temporarily through this year, next year and give me still move out

to the heart of the net." Gengchen Ben here has a double line of clip-argument analysis:

A section of the magical ghost surprised text, I do not know where to come up with. Mrs. Wang has never taken care of the household. If not for this change, not only the end of the game, but also not

nearly reasonable. In addition, this is also my old days to see and hear, the author experienced the existing text, not search and create, so it is not with the novel

the clutch of the sad and happy routine relative. I think the scattered sons of the great families see this, although the matter is different, but their feelings seem to have a tacit understanding in the heart of the

where. This paragraph is not only criticized this, really from the Grand View Garden and mother of Jiaxing to the end of the sadness, can be attached to it.

Third, "Dream of Red Mansions" in the subject matter and plot to break the "historical novels", so its structure is also in the inheritance of the previous

Chapter of the 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

braided structure, telling the stories of the three kingdoms, which are intertwined and intertwined with each other; "Water Margin" is a series of short stories, focusing on the process of 108 heroes forced to go to the Liangshan Mountain (which is the history of the growth of the main characters' ideologies and personalities); and "Journey to the West" is a pearl-layer structure, which is the most important of all the novels. After introducing the origin of the Monkey King and the Tang Priest, the book takes the four members of the Tang Priest and his disciples as the clues for the journey to the West to obtain the scriptures in the West Heaven, and then connects a series of stories about the fights between gods and demons (which deepens the characters of the Monkey King and the Tang Priest); and Jin Ping Mei (The Plum in the Golden Vase) extensively depicts all aspects of the society through the rise and fall of the families of Xi-Men-Qing and his wives and concubines. In the Qing Dynasty, before the introduction of

Meng of Red Mansions

, several chapter books, such as

Waking Marriage Legends

and

Lin Lanxiang, are of

Jinpingmei

style;

Lamps of the Divergent Paths

is a story about one person and one thing (the misadventure of the son of the world's family, Tan Shao Wen, and his return to the world of prodigal sons) throughout the entire book;

Ru Lin Wai Shi

, is a "long,

quite the same as the short system". The structure of Meng of the Red Chamber is more complex, more rigorous, and more grandiose than the above books. It takes the rise and fall of the feudal aristocracy of the Jia family as a representative

as the warp, linking the top and bottom of the society; the triple tragedy of Baoyu's and Daiyu's rebelliousness, love and the search for

new life, as well as the tragedy of Baoyu's and Baochai's marriages as the latitude, linking the tragedies of the "group of hairpin" inside and outside of the Grand View Garden,

the warp and the woof intertwine to constitute a circular mesh structure, reflecting a historical era of social outlook from an all-round perspective.

Weaving and weft intertwined, forming a circular mesh structure, reflecting in a comprehensive way the social landscape of a historical era. It should be noted that,

8

The Dream of the Red Chamber consists of a combination of real and mythological stories, and is written from the end of the mythological story, using the method of bringing the real into the imaginary

.

Fourth, on the issue of love and marriage, Meng of Red Mansions not only breaks through the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty novels of talent and beauty, man and woman, "pity

talent and love for sex", but also corrects the "Golden Lotus Plum" and "Jin Ping Mei" style novels, or the rendering of karma, or obsessed with menwomen perverted sex, the bad tendency. Through the tragic love history of Jia Baoyu and the "group hairpin", Meng of the Red Chamber puts forward the new concept that men and women must be like-minded, respect each other, and be completely out of their own will, regardless of the interests of their families. It is self-evident that

this is a modern concept of love and marriage.

In the depiction of love, "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a reversal of the "theft of jade, secret elopement", writing "the true feelings of children".

Only in terms of the love of Bao-Dai, Bao-Yu fell in love with Dai-Yu, chose to "wood and stone before the alliance", neither out of the family (in terms of the family,

Bao-chai is more desirable than Dai-Yu), nor because of the talent and appearance (from the point of view of the talent and appearance, hairpin, Dai is difficult to distinguish between the higher and the lower), but only due to Dai-Yu

never say those "career economy" of the "nonsense words". Similarly, Daiyu's love for Baoyu, to attract him as a confidant, and

not in order to be the second grandmother of Baobao, only because Baoyu 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 basis of **** the same rebellious ideology character, only for the feudal parents and feudal marriage is not allowed, only

can be a tragic ending. It must be pointed out that, treasure, dai love and development of a tortuous and painful process; the author of his

their love portrayal, focusing on the "intention of sex", never involved in the "skin pornography", the style of interest is very high.

Finally, Meng of Red Mansions breaks the pattern of "happy ending" in novels, and writes a series of shocking tragedies in the 18th century, which is typical of the Rong and Ning mansions of the Jia family, as well as of the Jia Baoyu and the "group of hairpin" who live in the family.

The second knower of the Red Chamber Dreams (published and engraved in the 17th year of the Jiaqing period):

The Dream of the Red Chamber four times the weather: the first few volumes of the King's Xie family, the peace and quiet, the spring of the dream. The family visit, the most

luxurious, such as the tree of the beautiful shade, green and pleasant, the dream of summer. And Tongling jade lost, the two houses confiscated, such as a night of frost, ten thousand trees

Destroyed frost, ten thousand trees destroyed, autumn is a dream, is not it sad! Jia old woman, Baoyu fled the Zen, the family's shrinking sadness, like the winter twilight

Light, is the red building of the remnants of the dream ear!

Here, the two know people with "spring, summer, autumn and winter" of the "four seasons weather" to describe the rise and fall of the Jia family, as well as Jia Baoyu

and the "group hairpin" of the sadness and happiness, precisely illustrates the historical inevitability of its tragic end. Cao Xueqin originally to Jia family completely down,

Bao Yu "cliffs," "good as a bird to the forest, fell a piece of white earth is really clean" end of the book, so the concept and

description, see the author's insights of the excellence of the Dream of the Red Chamber of the thought of the content of the extraordinary. Cheng Gao's original story of Baoyu becoming a Buddhist monk after he passed the imperial examination,

and having a surviving son to show that the future of the Jia family would be "fragrant with orchids and laurels, and the family way would be restored to its original state" is still a de facto happy ending, which is obviously against the intent of Cao Xueqin.

The story of the Jia family was written by the author of the book, and it is a very interesting story.

The artistic achievement of Meng of Red Mansions, of course, is not limited to the above, but also manifested in many aspects. For example, the richness, vividness, and depth of the details; the breakthrough of the tradition of "speech" in the environmental description and psychological portrayal; the reversal and curvilinear strokes,

contrasts and contrasts, "special offenses", as well as the masterful use of pure literary language (especially the dialogues of the characters), etc., all of which can be seen in the art of

as the masterpiece of the classical novels.

To say that Meng of Red Mansions "breaks the mold of the past" is not to say that it has nothing to do with China's time-honored cultural and literary traditions

. On the contrary, the reason why Meng of the Red Chamber has reached the highest peak of the ancient art of fiction is that it is inseparable from its inheritance and innovation of the cultural tradition and literary tradition. If you don't inherit the good tradition, how can you break the mold and innovate? Just in terms of the inheritance and innovation of novels, without the "Four Great Wonders" of the Ming Dynasty and the "Three Words", "Two Beats", and "One Type",

there would be no Meng of Red Mansions. Zhang Xinzhi said: "The Stone Book is born in the Journey to the West, borrowed in the Jin Ping Mei, regained

God in the Water Margin." Li-Yan-Zhai also pointed out that "Dream of Red Mansions" is "a deep understanding of the pot of the Golden Vase". Comrade Mao Zedong, on the other hand, said: "The Golden Lotus and Plum Blossoms is the ancestor of Dream of Red Mansions, and without the Golden Lotus and Plum Blossoms, Dream of Red Mansions could not have been written." Quoted from "Mao Zedong Thought Forum," No. 2, 1994. These are all well reasoned opinions. As to how "Dream of the Red Chamber" draws its artistic nourishment from poems and lyrics, literary

written novels, prose songs, and operas, and how it is nourished by the Wu culture, which has a long history and distinctive regional characteristics, I am not going to go into details for the sake of space.
