The book A Dream of Red Mansions mentioned in the Chinese text of senior high school has five characteristics. In addition, there are several appreciation angles that can be explored in depth, which is worth noting!

The Theme of A Dream of Red Mansions-Good Songs
A Dream of Red Mansions is a famous literary masterpiece since ancient times. There are more than 400 characters in the book, and what is more commendable is that the author can analyze the characters one by one. Through his pen, the characters he created are lifelike.
Cao Xueqin lived in poverty all his life. He used childhood memories to describe the prosperity and wealth of Ninghe Mansion. For the sake of maternal love, Ning and Rong spared no expense to build a grand grand grand view garden covering an area of 13 hectares. There are bridges and pavilions, just like fairyland. Yuan Fei mothering this period of time, is the most prosperous time Jia Fu. But "although the flowers are beautiful, they still fade." "Later, when Yuan Fei died, family wealth began to decline. The rise and fall of Jiafu also endowed Cao Xueqin with rich connotations.
I think if we want to extract its essence from this masterpiece, then a "good song" in the original can be explained thoroughly. This "good song" is:
Everyone knows that immortals are good, only fame can't be forgotten. Where will the past and present be? A pile of grass on the wasteland is missing. The whole world knows that gods are good, but gold and silver can't forget them. In the end, they only hated each other, but they closed their eyes for a long time. The whole world knew that immortals were good, and only their wives could not forget them. You said hello on your birthday, and you died with others. Everyone knows that immortals are good, but children and grandchildren can't forget them. They suspect that their parents are old and filial to their children and grandchildren.
This poem clearly shows the artistic conception of "drifting like a dream". If we taste it more carefully, it is not difficult to find that there is another deeper meaning-the idea of being born human. The ancients said: "The flowers and plants in the Wu Palace are shaded, and the golden clothes are ancient dust. Isn't it a pity to see it? Life is full of ups and downs, but it's not empty in the end? It is difficult to get rid of worldly concerns, just like Xu Zhimo's "waving sleeves without clouds". The fetters of fame and family are inevitable in the secular world. How many people in ancient and modern times can completely cut off distractions?
The book A Dream of Red Mansions can be seen from this "good song". In fact, after the author wrote this song, it is equivalent to putting forward an outline for the future development of the story. And why is it called "good song"? Isn't this a disregard for life? If you look indifferent, you will disdain to compete with others; If you look empty, then your mind has been far away from the noise of the world of mortals and has been purified by heaven and earth. The author's pessimistic attitude is alluded to the protagonist Jia Baoyu, so finally Baoyu realized the state of mind of "nothing after wealth" and hid in an empty door.
Conclusion:
In a word, A Dream of Red Mansions is not only the epitome of modern China, but also a good novel to study China's ethics and family relations.
Dream of Red Mansions is rising all over the world. Not only can we no longer look at him from the standpoint of romantic novels in people's eyes, but we should also have the responsibility to introduce such good China novels widely and make contributions to writing good novels from China tomorrow.
2. Wang Meng on the love description in A Dream of Red Mansions.
In China's classical literature, we seldom see the free, full and hearty description of love, and seldom see the praise and admiration for love and women. Of course, there are also wonderful descriptions of spring injury, unrequited love, lovesickness or temporary feelings, such as Li Shangyin's "Although I don't have the wings of Cai Feng, I still feel the harmonious heartbeat of Kirin", and Yan Shu's "The fragrant wall can't meet the car, ... the mountain is in the distance" ... with profound and touching mourning poems. There are some healthy love poems in the Book of Songs Yuefu, which are "My Fair Lady, My Gentleman". After all, it is too simple. The love in The Peony Pavilion can cross the boundary between life and death, but it is strong enough, but its connotation is not full. What hurts spring is nothing more than a rather primitive love desire. The West Chamber is beautifully written, but it is also light and interesting. Its attitude towards love is not so much aesthetic as game.
The description of love in classical novels is even worse. The characters in Romance of the Three Kingdoms don't talk about love. A leading comrade often used this as an example in the 1950s and 1960s to demonstrate that love is not an "eternal theme". Love in Journey to the West is the patent of goblins and pigs. Love and adulteress in Water Margin are synonyms. Many heroes, such as Song Wu, Yang Xiong and Song Jiangdu, have a glorious record of being prostitutes. Only Lin Chong seems to have feelings for his wife. In some other plays and plays, the theme of love is included in the category of moral ethics, especially the moral category of daughter classics. No matter how bold the description of sex in Jin Ping Mei is, it is no different to regard love, especially sex, as a basic negative tendency of lewdness and evil virtue.
From this point of view, the love description and love view in A Dream of Red Mansions are particularly eye-catching. In A Dream of Red Mansions, love is no longer a simple attraction, teasing or family ethical obligation between men and women. Love is no longer just a synonym for evil. In this book, love is so full of the specific content of life, love permeates life, and life overflows in love. Love includes the whole life. And life dominates the form, content, trend and final outcome of love. In this way, love is love and sex (A Dream of Red Mansions does not evade this point at all. Of course, from its description of Jia Lian and Jia Zhen, we can see that this book hates pure lewdness. Love is also a kind of culture, a kind of history, a kind of social atmosphere, a kind of class consciousness, and more importantly, a person. It is a comprehensive reflection of a person's personality and its natural, social and historical attributes. ……
..... But on the whole, the author writes quite objectively about the communication between men and women. solid
In fact, he jumped out of the feudal moral evaluation or male egoism with women as playthings (the latter is even when
Zhang Xianliang and other writers, for example, also have unconscious enlightenment in their works. Compared with China's other classical literary works, the love description in A Dream of Red Mansions stands out from the crowd. It is extremely natural, true, bold and full, neither trite nor frivolous, and its ending is unique.
3. Zhou: Lin Daiyu's death
Gao E didn't write the death of Daiyu. The main culprits of Daiyu's death were Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Zhao, not Xi Feng and Jia Mu. In the meantime, through twists and turns and various relationships, we can also infer a general idea from the lines and hints in the previous eighty chapters. Try to explain today. Clues are complicated and divided into several parts:
First of all, Yuan Chun doesn't like Daiyu at all. This is the difference between Chai and Dai when she gave something, as everyone has seen. In fact, Cao Xueqin has already hinted at this point: in "Mothering the Mothers", because of the relationship between Yuan and Spring, the word "green jade" was abandoned and could not be used. One is to change the "red fragrant green jade" into "Hongyi green", the other is to change the "green jade in spring" into "green wax …
…"。 Baochai said, "Because he didn't like the word' red fragrant green jade', he changed it to' Hongyi Kuai Green'; You will use' green jade' instead, aren't you interested in competing with him? "This pen is the most important.
First, but because of this, the love of good and evil can't determine the marriage, because if you want to destroy Daiyu, you will be accused of "rationality". This, Yuan Chun can't decide, there must be someone else to provide the "charges".
First, for Baoyu's marriage, only Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang Can entered the palace to formally give Yuan Chun important opinions.
Jia Zheng himself can't convict Daiyu, because he doesn't really understand. "Really understand" is the harem, who can pour slanderers into Jia Zheng's ear pillow. This is Aunt Zhao. For example, in the seventy-third time, Aunt Zhao's shop ran up to Baoyu and said, "I've come to tell you some news. Just now, our grandmother said this sentence in front of the master.
Listen carefully when the master asks you something tomorrow. "This place is the most striking.
First of all, Aunt Zhao deliberately tried to kill Baoyu. Everyone has long understood that I don't need to go into details. The way she hurts Baoyu is to speak ill of Jia Zheng from time to time. The theme of bad words is not just "not reading" and "sticking to one's own opinions", but another big topic: saying that Bao and Dai are incompetent-this is the key issue that can most anger feudal parents and make Jia Zheng hate Baoyu. As Gong Ren said to Mrs. Wang, "Mr. Zhong is too old. If you want someone to say a bad word, ...
Won't the reputation and conduct of Sir Zhong's life be over? Second, it is difficult for a wife to see her master. "This is the so-called big problem, so Mrs. Wang is like Lightning and Thunder.
First, Bao and Dai are close and don't avoid people. It can be said to be an open fact. Feng understood the words of peace long ago, and they admitted their acquiescence. -on the note, only aunt Zhao. The evidence is obvious: for the 52nd time, Bao and Dai were about to have a heart-to-heart talk. "I didn't say a word, but I saw Aunt Zhao come in to see Daiyu." Daiyu was busy entertaining and winked at Baoyu. Baoyu understood and came out. "Don't ask the past.
First, there is still such a reference. The nineteenth time, Daiyu saw that Baoyu had a little "blood stain" on his face and said, "You did these things again! ..... even if my uncle can't see it, others will try to please the children and blow it to my uncle's ears. Everyone is unclean and irritating! " This clearly refers to Aunt Zhao. "Everyone is not clean"
