It is said that a dream of red mansions cannot be broadcast as a storytelling. What is the reason?

In China's literature, four famous works rank first, which is not only a treasure of China literature, but also a treasure of world literature.

Some people say that if people are divided into two categories, those who have read Four Great Classical Novels and those who have not. The lives of these two kinds of people are different.

With the attention and popularity of famous works, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, The Journey to the West and The Water Margin have all been adapted into storytelling, which is widely circulated, but the storytelling about A Dream of Red Mansions is rare.

Someone once asked Liu Lanfang, a famous storyteller, whether the academic circles thought A Dream of Red Mansions was the pinnacle of China's classical novels? Why not talk about A Dream of Red Mansions?

Liu Lanfang's answer to this question is "A Dream of Red Mansions has no roots".

By root, Mr. Liu means that this book is just a scene of a group of nobles living in a closed Jia mansion, with little communication with the outside world and no social background in which the general story takes place.

In fact, this problem can be divided into these reasons.

There are no "stories" in a dream of red mansions, only "trifles". A Dream of Red Mansions is different from China's traditional novels. Other traditional novels are the basis of narration, but the essence of A Dream of Red Mansions lies in writing characters.

On the other hand, roles depend on trivial things.

Daiyu first entered Jiafu, and there is a chapter in the book. We can see that Jia Mu takes good care of her granddaughter.

As an aunt, Mrs. Wang naturally won't lag behind, just in time to meet Wang Xifeng and Daiyu, so a very interesting little thing happened.

Mrs Wang said to Wang Xifeng

Take two pieces of satin to cut clothes for your sister, don't forget.

Wang Xifeng said, I expected it, and I was ready. When my wife takes good care of it,

Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded silently.

Such scenes are just very common scenes in life, but the author clearly has his intention in portraying them.

Mrs. Wang asked Xifeng to take the material and cut Dai Yu's clothes. This is for Grandmother Jia. Tell her that my aunt loves Lin Daiyu as much as you do.

And search performed even better. Before Mrs. Wang told her, she had already prepared in advance, indicating that this sister-in-law did more harm to Lin Daiyu.

The most wonderful thing is that "Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded silently."

This little gesture shows that Mrs. Wang is very satisfied with Wang Xifeng's reaction, whether she is really preparing or not. Her aunt and niece cooperate well, and the happiness of the old lady is the most important thing.

We can see that such trivial housework fully shows the character.

In this case, there is no story, just a trivial matter. If it is used as a storytelling, it is estimated that no one will listen.

There are many trivial things like books, and you have to read them three or five times before you can gradually understand their meaning.

There is no plot, only details. A Dream of Red Mansions has a complex structure, involving many characters, no ups and downs, only vivid and specific details.

There are as many as 983 characters in the dream of the red chamber, and of course there are many small people who only appear once.

Although these characters are very small, they will be remembered forever through some details, which is very impressive.

For example, the famous old slave Jiao Da of Ningguo Mansion. I once fought side by side with Ning Guogong and earned this family business.

But he looked at the descendants of Ning Guogong, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and others who were not enterprising, but were happy and anxious.

At the same time, these people in Ningguo House also lack respect for him. On a drunken night, because Jia Rong assigned him an unfair job, he scolded himself for his dissatisfaction with these people by drinking hard. It can be said that Jiao Da's scolding is "eternal infamy", hit the floor.

Brother Rong, don't say that. Even your father and grandfather didn't dare to resist Jiao Da. Your ancestors had a narrow escape and earned this family business. Now you don't repay me, but you call me master. You say something else, let's go in with the red knife and come out with the white knife.

Jiao Da's behavior was described in a few words, which was impressive.

There are many such little people. They all describe one or two details through some classic details, which we will always remember.

Similar to Jiao Da, there is a senior official who is also impressive.

In A Dream of Red Mansions, the girl herself is not very important, and there are people with lower status than the girl, that is, actors.

There is a young official in the middle. Although she is an actress, she has a great personality. She has appeared three times.

When Yuan Chun visited her mother, she was asked to sing two plays. Lingguan thought, it was not the play of this angle that insisted on refusing, so Jia Qiang had to follow her.

Later, Baoyu was bored and saw Lingguan drawing "Qiang" with a straw in the yard.

The third time, Jia Baoyu wanted to hear her sing, but she seriously declined.

Later, Baoyu was stunned by what she and Jia Qiang said. She made Baoyu understand that everyone has his own destiny.

These vivid little details left a deep impression on us.

However, it seems that all her actions and the story of A Dream of Red Mansions can't be inserted, but in some details, the connection depends on a few words, which does not appear at once.

This requires us to compare it, because this is really a nobody, and she has never appeared since then.

Despite this, after three appearances, her character is consistent, and she can't recognize the taste just by listening.

There are a large number of poems and songs in this paper, which have deep literary value and need to be deeply tasted and explored.

The poems and songs in A Dream of Red Mansions have their particularity, which is an indispensable part of expressing the characters' hearts and destiny.

Poetry has a good personality attribute. Lin Daiyu wrote "Burying Flowers" and "Peach Blossom".

Although Lin Daiyu can write poems in other styles, there is always her shadow in them.

Poetry is very suggestive.

Many poems imply the development of the fate of the characters behind them. Jia Baoyu is dreaming in a dreamland, and the lyrics and songs in Twelve Women's Collections all imply everyone's fate, which adds great interest to reading.

The opening "Good Song" and Zhen's comments on "Good Song" are both masterpieces.

Including the riddles guessed by the girls, there are also prophetic hints in the riddles, and when the group held a night banquet, they each got a note of flowers, each of which hinted at everyone's fate.

There are many poems in A Dream of Red Mansions, the beauty of which is incomparable to other novels. Like these, all products need to be carefully studied, not necessarily thoroughly studied.

Summary: A Dream of Red Mansions is unique in that it has trivial matters but no stories, details but no plots, poems, personalities and hints, thus making it a Dream of Red Mansions.

It is through these daily scenes of eating, drinking and having fun that the characters' personalities are reflected and revealed. It is always people-oriented and pays attention to details. Although the structure is complex, it is grand and complete as a whole, and it is really suitable for making fine products.

However, due to the public's love for A Dream of Red Mansions, Liu Lanfang later compiled it into a storytelling and broadcast it, but it was not as popular as the other three masterpieces.
