A Dream of Red Mansions is recognized as the pinnacle of China's novels and an encyclopedia of feudal society in China. A Dream of Red Mansions is based on the activities of various characters, the collusion and contradiction of court nobles, the love of various men and women, and the daily life and trivial matters in the family. Whether you are looking for or preparing to write the 48th and 49th chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions, I have collected relevant information below for your reference!
After reading 48 and 49 Dream of Red Mansions 1
"The flowers are flying all over the sky, and the red fragrance is pitiless." A song "Burying Flowers" made many people feel sad. A Dream of Red Mansions sings the ups and downs of an era. When the white snow is really clean, the prosperity of the past only stays in the thin pages.
360 days a year, the wind and sword are threatening. "This is the era, this is the worst era." The country is rich and strong, and the emperor is grateful for the ages. It seems that everything is thriving and everything is glory. Few people see that the whole society, from bottom to top, is a scene of mud but not dye. The people at the bottom have lost their land and abandoned their land, making a living hard. If you don't want to be humiliated and hurt, don't live on earth. People who struggle to survive are either calculated by the government or exploited by extended families, and eventually they will have a tragic fate. The big family is even more entangled in interests. For money and power, they fought for power and profit, colluded with the government and made the people miserable. Even within the family, intrigue emerges endlessly, and eventually it is inevitable that the family will be ruined.
Today, the man who buried the flowers is laughing, but who did he know when he buried the flowers? Lin Daiyu lamented not only her sadness. Maybe in a few years, not only this beautiful sister Lin, but also everything in this unique grand view garden will be gone. The joy of the world ended in disillusionment. In retrospect, it was just a dream. Even if it is pure and clean as a wonderful jade, it will eventually end up in a mess. In that filthy age, who can get rid of mud and not get wet? Personal tragedies, like quicksand, gradually converge into an infinite desert. Who did he know when he was buried? I don't know. Slowly, the dust buried them all.
There is no sad song for me, I don't know what happened. This is the saddest sentence and the most accurate prediction of Lin Daiyu's self-ending. A Dream of Red Mansions is a tragedy, and everyone is firmly trapped in the spider web of fate. Some people are struggling and tired. Some people have long given up resistance and are waiting for the arrival of destruction in a daze. Their tragedy is not coincidence or accident, but is inseparable from the decline of the whole society. From the beginning, Baoyu's dream of sleepwalking was too empty. Otherwise, why did Gao E continue the last forty chapters? Why not read the happy ending? Baodai and Daiyu were reincarnated as fairies in the sky, and they will also become fairies after death and return to the sky, but what about those flesh and blood? Or after spring, it is dust after all.
From this perspective, the connotation of A Dream of Red Mansions is too rich to be fully understood. How to summarize a song "Burying Flowers"? Really is a dream of red mansions.
Thoughts on reading the 48th and 49th chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions
Only after reading A Dream of Red Mansions recently did I understand its beauty.
A Dream of Red Mansions, with Jia, Shi, Wang and Xue as the background, revolves around Jia Baoyu's life path, takes the fierce struggle between feudal Taoism and rebels as the main line, and takes the tragedies of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu as the main content. By vividly describing the decline process of feudal families represented by Jia Fu, it profoundly exposes and criticizes the darkness and decay of feudal society, and further points out that feudal society has arrived.
A Dream of Red Mansions vividly describes the whole life of China feudal society in the first half of the 8th century. The book is large in scale, rigorous in structure, vivid in characters and beautiful in language. In addition, there are some obvious artistic features that are worthy of future generations' taste and appreciation.
The author makes full use of all the excellent traditional techniques of China's calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs and music, and shows a social tragedy. For example, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu read the Romance of the West Chamber, Daiyu buried flowers, Baochai shook butterflies, Qingwen mended fur, Baoqin made snow, and Daiyu burned manuscripts. Such as Lin Daiyu's floating posture, poetic eyebrows, clever expression, deep smile, moving sobs, elegant taste and natural literary talent ... all these are attributed to the author. Cao Xueqin truly reproduces the complexity of the characters in A Dream of Red Mansions, which makes us feel that the characters in the works are as real as those in life. Jia Baoyu in A Dream of Red Mansions is "difficult to be virtuous, stupid, good and evil, aboveboard, illegitimate, intelligent and talented, vulgar and ordinary", which makes people comment. Not only Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu are the protagonists who endow the author with personality beauty, spiritual beauty and ideal beauty, but even Wang Xifeng, a notorious figure, did not write her as "all bad", but mixed some "loveliness" with "abomination", thus presenting various contradictory and complicated actual situations and forming a "charming reality" of personality.
The author is good at revealing its unusual aesthetic significance through the artistic description of seemingly ordinary daily life, and even some unwritten and unrecorded social habits and details are vividly portrayed in A Dream of Red Mansions.
The outstanding achievement of A Dream of Red Mansions in ideological content and artistic skills has not only become an insurmountable peak of China's novel literature in China. Moreover, it has also been paid attention to and studied by scholars in many countries internationally. Some French critics praised Cao Xueqin: "Cao Xueqin has Proust's keen vision, Tolstoy's sympathy, Miao Sai's clever humor, Balzac's insight and the ability to reproduce the whole society from top to bottom."
Thoughts on reading the 48 th and 49 th chapters of the third episode of A Dream of Red Mansions
I once thought that A Dream of Red Mansions was "mostly about love", and I also sighed for Bao's sorrow and Dai's misery. Now after reading it carefully, I suddenly feel that love is just an indispensable condiment.
In fact, Jiafu was a microcosm of society at that time. In this miniature society, everyone is a social person, and Baise is different.
Grandmother Jia seems to be charitable and kind to Granny Liu, but in fact, she is boasting, but it is just a farce of "carrying locusts without chewing". Among the "upper class" figures, Qin's flattery is the most delicious, and Daiyu regards it as "loquacious and mean-tongued". Wang Xifeng, who is good at flattery and catering to others, is nothing but "birthday" and "rudeness" in Daiyu's view. Daiyu, a self-righteous "outsider", also saw through the hypocrisy of her red makeup. Even xiren, whom Mrs. Wang thought was "knowledgeable", was fooled by Xiangyun and could not escape Daiyu's eyes. Daiyu hit the nail on the head: "I just thought you were a sister-in-law. As a result, Daiyu was considered to be "small, thoughtful and narrow-minded", and without the demeanor of a good family, she could not be selected as "Grandma Bao 'er" and eventually became a "lonely fairy in the world".
Although Daiyu is a "school sister" and also known as a "chicken belly", she has nothing but infatuation. She is ungrateful and arrogant, but "it's hard to blow the autumn wind". Don't criticize her too much for being "oversensitive". It's not her fault. She should think more about the people around her.
Of all the women, only Baochai can be compared with Daiyu. She is rich in furniture and good at dealing with people, which are better than the sad and rebellious Daiyu. She is a model of a good family. She has no former alliance, but she believes in a beautiful marriage.
When she first arrived at Jia's house, "even the servants were close to Baochai", and Aunt Zhao also called her kind. At the birthday party, she knew that the old lady "likes lively operas" and "likes to eat sweet and rotten things", so she told her "according to her meaning". She decorated Wu Hengting Courtyard in a simple way, giving people a feeling of quiet lady and making people feel frugal. She helped Mrs. Wang get rid of the knot. At the banquet, everyone laughed at Granny Liu, a countryman, except Baochai. It was Cao Weng who forgot this number, but it wasn't. It's just that she keeps good manners. On the one hand, she made Wang Xifeng feel that "I don't know everything if I don't do anything, and I don't know everything if I ask", on the other hand, she made the old lady and Mrs. Wang feel that "small benefits are average". If you listen to Daiyu's sarcasm, people will think that she never bears a grudge. When she overheard Xiaohong's conversation with Zhui Er, she lied about playing hide-and-seek with Daiyu. Her cleverness in dealing with the world is in sharp contrast with Daiyu's lofty. As a result, Baochai was regarded as "a good family, docile and knowledgeable" and was chosen as "Grandma Bao Er", which eventually became "the crystal snow of a noble scholar in the mountains".
I have never liked Baochai, and I can't accept her marrying Baoyu emotionally. Her tactfulness and meekness seem hypocritical to me. Close the relationship with Daiyu through some small things, and let Daiyu feel "like a sister". Treating Baoyu is better and smoother, which is completely different from Daiyu's suspicion.
When Daiyu died, she only said "Hello, Baoyu …" and then died. If you want me to fill in this sentence, I must take it as "Baoyu, you are so cruel." "Why are you cruel to abandon Daiyu and marry another Baochai? What's wrong with Daiyu? An empty spoony woman, if even spoony is reduced to ashes, how can she live? As everyone knows, this is just Mrs. Wang's replacement plan. Baoyu is not heartless, but always thinks that it is Daiyu who gets married.
Besides, Baochai, a noble woman and a good girl, married a man who didn't love herself in the name of others. After Baoyu lifted the red veil, he found that Sister Lin had become the disappointment of Sister Bao, so he left Baochai there. What a pity! Originally, I was "heartless and affectionate", but I ended up alone in an empty boudoir. At this point, I suddenly realized that Baochai was also a victim, and what really harmed people was the feudal ethics that ate people.
At this time, I can see that the author Cao Xueqin wanted to expose the darkness of feudal society at that time through A Dream of Red Mansions and express his dissatisfaction and anger at his untimely and brilliant life.
