I picked up the book A Dream of Red Mansions on a whim recently. When I first read A Dream of Red Mansions, I don't expect to have a thorough insight like those in Dream of Red Mansions. I just hope that I can understand a little. Today, I will talk about the third episode in A Dream of Red Mansions for you.
The third episode of A Dream of Red Mansions tells that Lin Ruhai, Daiyu's father, wrote to Jia Zheng to seek a position for Jia Yucun, and Lin Daiyu left her father for Kyoto. In this trip, we followed Daiyu into Jiafu, and saw the grandeur of Jiafu through Daiyu's eyes, such as carving beams and painting buildings, crossing mountains and verandahs, etc., and saw the style of Jiafu, and then saw important people in Jiafu, such as Jia Mu, Wang Xifeng, Wang Fu, etc. Here, the author takes Daiyu's entry into Jiafu as an important index, and then let all the characters go on stage naturally, which is not obvious.
when Dai-Yu went to visit Mrs. Wang, she decided to take her place when she saw the furnishings in her room, so she didn't accept Mammy's invitation to let her sit on the kang, so she just sat in a chair on the east side. This shows that Daiyu's observation ability is very strong and she has received a good education. When I read this, I realized how important the etiquette in ancient China was. The reason why A Dream of Red Mansions is so weighty is that it has precipitated the enduring culture of China for thousands of years!
it was this time that Daiyu and Baoyu first met. Both of them felt deja vu, so they took care of the story of crimson pearl fairy grass mentioned in the first time. The author didn't tell the story of their love affair in depth here, which set a suspense for readers and aroused their enthusiasm for reading. It can be seen that the arrangement of the article is very clever.
The success of A Dream of Red Mansions lies in the artistic beauty of its language. For example, it is described that Dai Yu's "two bends are like frowning eyebrows, a pair of eyes are like weeping but not weeping, and she is suffering from two sorrows, and her tears are a little bit, and her breath is slightly breathless. She is as quiet as a beautiful flower, and her actions are like a weak willow. Her heart is more than dry, and her illness is like a west child winning three points", as if she were standing in front of our eyes. People have a kind of affection for Daiyu. Therefore, when we read A Dream of Red Mansions, we should not only understand the story, but also learn the superb language art of the author. And then constantly improve our own writing ability.
