Notes on China's Traditional Culture and Literature

A Dream of Red Mansions was written in the Qianlong period in the middle of18th century. Original 120, written by the first 80 Cao Xueqin and written by the last 40 anonymous people. It was circulated in the form of a manuscript in the early days, and it was called "The Story of the Stone". During the Qianlong period, the sequels of A Dream of Red Mansions came out one after another, which gave rise to A Dream of Red Mansions. Tell the love story of Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu.

A Dream of Red Mansions is a great work with high ideological and artistic quality, representing one of the highest achievements of classical novel art and one of the four classical novels in ancient China. It takes the daily life of the government as the center, the love and marriage tragedies and trivia of Baoyu, Daiyu and Baochai in the Grand View Garden as the main line, and the history of Jia, Shi, Wang and Xue, the four famous families in Jinling, as the dark line, which shows the inevitable trend that the desperate feudal society will eventually perish. With its tortuous and obscure expression, desolate and deep emotional style and strong and lofty ideological connotation, it has irreplaceable research value in China's ancient folk customs, feudal system, social landscape, architectural inscriptions and other fields, reaching the peak of China's classical novels and being known as "the encyclopedia of China's feudal society". This book reflects the communicative competence of modern people in disguise.

Thoughts on Reading A Dream of Red Mansions 1000 words

In the history of literature, A Dream of Red Mansions is called the pinnacle of realism in China's ancient novels. Its far-reaching social influence lies not only in its high ideological level, but also in its unparalleled artistic value.

A Dream of Red Mansions, with Jia Fu as the central stage and the tragic love story of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu as the main content, vividly describes the development process and luxurious life of feudal aristocratic families represented by Jia, Wang, Shi and Xue, objectively and truly exposes the decay and darkness of feudal society, and unambiguously predicts its irreversible collapse trend.

The artistic achievement of A Dream of Red Mansions is enormous, which is first reflected in the shaping of typical images. It explores the soul of the characters, describes the mental outlook of different characters and shapes different models. This large group of vivid, authentic and credible figures shows a magnificent art gallery in front of readers. In this group of characters, there are not only ladies, but also rich sons such as protagonists: Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Wang Xifeng and so on. The author also focuses on depicting the clever and lovely but humble images of maids such as Qingwen, Yuanyang and Zijuan. However, I think I prefer Qingwen. It can be said that she is the best among girls! Qingwen was originally bought by Jia's servant. It can be said that she is a servant of a servant. Because grandma sees her as "very smart and beautiful", she is honored as a small gift. Her life experience of "being an inferior person" is so pitiful that even her parents in her hometown can't remember it clearly. But she is cheerful and stubborn, and her heart is pure and healthy. She is not as depressed and miserable as Lin Daiyu, nor as gentle and modest as Hua Xiren. There is a rebellious spirit in her. For example, she disdains those "masters" who are above her and control her life and death, and often exposes the hypocrisy of attacking people with sharp words. It can almost be said that she is one of the most tragic victims in the Grand View Garden. Just because she looks a bit like Miss Lin, she is called a fox. "Shuimi hasn't touched her teeth for four or five days", so she pulled it down and put it on the kang. She wouldn't even let her take some clothes away, and she was finally crushed to death.

A Dream of Red Mansions is another imaginative book. It leaves people with too many whimsy, daydreams and myths to sort out, so we need our wisdom information ... it makes us guess, confuses us and lets us enter another world. So we realized that there are so many worlds in the world to be explored and discovered.

A Dream of Red Mansions is an encyclopedia, which not only belongs to feudal society. Almost all our experiences, joys and sorrows, can learn from each other, explain each other, support each other and resonate with each other in A Dream of Red Mansions.

The artistic value of A Dream of Red Mansions is that it permeates and exudes rich China traditional culture. For example, poetry and songs, painting, music, sculpture, architecture and other artistic fields are widely involved, and folk cultures such as clothing, food, wine and riddles are integrated into the embellishment. The application of these arts and folk customs in the article not only enhances the authenticity of the details, but also makes the article full of vitality and poetry.

A dream of red mansions deserves to be an immortal masterpiece!
