Teacher Li Qing is a member of Shandong Prose Society and Writers Association. A Dream of Red Mansions-The joys and sorrows of little people is his latest work. In fact, the initial intention of writing this book stems from a filial piety of teacher Li Qing.
Li Qing's mother passed away very early. Although her father is well-fed and well-fed, a person's life is inevitably lonely.
In order to relieve the mental distress of the elderly and know that the elderly love watching Peking Opera, Li Qing once wrote a collection of drama reviews, Peking Opera and Life, to guide his father to watch Peking Opera. This Dream of Red Mansions-The Sorrow and Sorrow of Little People is also written to guide my father to read Dream of Red Mansions, and its affection for father and son is admirable.
As we all know, A Dream of Red Mansions is China's greatest classical novel and one of the four classical novels. Chairman Mao once regarded it as a classic representing Chinese civilization.
The book covers a wealth of knowledge in philosophy, culture and art. Such as architecture, medicine, literature, music, painting, calligraphy, clothing, diet and so on. It is no exaggeration for the world to call it an encyclopedia-style cultural novel.
Li Qing, a teacher, gave a unique opinion on promoting the truth, goodness and beauty and lashing the false, evil and ugly. This paper deeply analyzes the characters of the little people in the book and their social background.
For example, Zhen's father-in-law is a mercenary villain. Unfortunately, his own daughter suffered a sudden change and her family fortune declined. As a father, he not only refused to lend a helping hand, but also hated being embarrassed everywhere. In his eyes, "profit" is greater than everything, and benevolence, affection and ethics are not worth a word "profit".
The character created by Cao Xueqin is actually a microcosm of the social atmosphere at that time. Zhi Yanzhai commented that "Su Feng" means "custom". It can be said that Cao Xueqin used "Su Feng" to satirize the mercenary atmosphere in the society at that time, and indirectly expressed Cao Xueqin's dissatisfaction and disappointment with his society.
Bullying others, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, forgetting the righteousness at the expense of profit, being rich and heartless, these people have existed throughout the ages, but only a few. Teacher Li Qing said that in today's civilized society, there are still their shadows. It can even be said that each of us has a miniature version of "Su Feng" in our hearts, but the morality in our hearts does not allow this villain to expand. The custom of closing a tomb should serve as a warning.
After listening to teacher Li Qing's affectionate sharing, I got a new understanding of Dream of Red Mansions. I first read this book when I was a teenager. At that time, I only paid attention to stories, and many poems in the book were half-baked.
The second time was ten years ago, when I reread it, I realized that the author was full of sadness. I have time to reread it for the third time. I don't know if I will have the ideological height like Li Qing, and look at the inevitable truth behind the characters from the perspective of human nature and society.
At the end of the sharing session, Mr. Li Qing gave each of us a new book signed by him. I think we will have a more thorough understanding of A Dream of Red Mansions by combining this book "A Dream of Red Mansions-The Sorrow and Joy of Little People" by Teacher Li. Thank you, Mr. Li Qing, and thank you, Mr. Li Jian, for your wonderful host today.
Enter the classics, carry forward the traditional culture and feel the beauty of literature. I'm glad you came to the sharing meeting this afternoon.
