Friends who have seen A Dream of Red Mansions know that this novel mainly tells Baodai's sad love story and belongs to a romantic novel. It begins with romance and ends with romance, but it is more than romance. There are many people in it, and most of them are girls. The characters are lifelike. Compared with The Journey to the West, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and The Water Margin, A Dream of Red Mansions is closer to life, with affectionate Daiyu, dignified and steady Baochai and ruthless Xifeng ... This is not a novel, but obviously someone or a certain kind of person in real life. As the saying goes, the life of three women, if combined with some love, is a good play, and a dream of red mansions is such a play, which will truly show people's boudoir life.
If you want to know about the ancient cultural spirit and living habits of China, A Dream of Red Mansions is enough. In Jia Baoyu's "Wandering in the Empty Country", the author wrote that "everything is learned, and human understanding is an article". A dream of red mansions begins with romance, but it is not limited to romance. It is here that the author borrows Bao Dai's love tragedy and the process of Rong Ning's two families from prosperity to decline. "Ten years of hard work is unusual, and every word is like blood" is the most appropriate way to describe A Dream of Red Mansions.
The lofty status of A Dream of Red Mansions is inseparable from the poems and songs in it. Every time I read A Dream of Red Mansions, I marvel at Mr. Cao's literary skill. There are many poems in a dream of red mansions, whether it is the verdict of twelve women in Jinling or the poems written by women in the Grand View Garden, each capital is extremely classic, and look at Dai Yu's poem Tang Duoling:
The powder falls on Baihuazhou, and the fragrance stays in Yanlou. Round and round, team after team into a ball. Wandering is also like a thin life, empty and romantic. Vanilla also knows sadness, but small flowers will grow old. Sigh this life, and those who give up will get it. Regardless, I went to marry Dong myself and put up with it for a long time.
It is memorable to read!
Many allusions are quoted, and every allusion is used properly, which makes readers suddenly realize. For example, when the relationship between Daiyu and Baochai improved, Baoyu asked Daiyu: Once upon a time, Meng Guang took over the Hongliang case? If you don't know the story, you can't understand the meaning of this sentence, but if you know the story, how can you not sigh Mr. Cao's profound literary foundation?
A Dream of Red Mansions, as the pinnacle of China's novels, has promoted the development of literature, and its classic lies in its medicine, food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is of great significance to the research of traditional Chinese medicine and prescription science today.
