The dream sister of Second Sister You advised to behead a jealous woman, and the dream girl of Xi 'an robbed the brocade horse. Baoyu's dream went to the nether world, attacking people and dreaming about Baoyu, Qin's, Yuan Fei and other things. Baoyu wanted to dream without dreams. It is different from other novels about dreams. A scholar's mind is incredible.

2. Julian's general comment on the master of Mingzhai:
A Dream of Red Mansions Figure Painting —— Lin Daiyu
(1) There are no straight pens, blunt pens, duplicate pens and idle pens in the book, and all of them are rendered on the side, back, front and back. It is decorated, cut and placed inside. Either recite it in advance and then change it, or make up what you recited before in your spare time. The brushstroke is delicate and unpredictable. Always get the deep feeling outside the pen and the scene at that time.
(2) The author knows everything, from poetry and prose, piano theory, painting interest, to acrobatics such as medical astrology, playing chess and singing, and Nishino Rupert, and his words are all to the point. Cao Cao is the only one who wants to play eight games. All 120 books can be summed up in three words: new, true and written.

This absolutely impossible thing, amazing, won the book "Stone". Hey! It's different.

Floating life is very bitter and busy, and the banquet is finally over.

3.hu shi
Because A Dream of Red Mansions is Cao Xueqin's self-narrative of "hiding the truth", he is not afraid of triviality and repeatedly describes his family's transition from rich to poor. We never look at Cao Yin's life history like a corrupt official; His family came down, and his son went bankrupt. It may be that the family loves spending money and putting on airs. Pay attention to eating and drinking, pay attention to the scene; Collect fine books and engrave them; Make friends with literati and celebrities, make friends with aristocratic officials and entertain the emperor. As for four times and five times; They can't manage money and refuse to save; I'm used to paying attention to profligacy and can't back down: I even lose money or go bankrupt. A Dream of Red Mansions is only an honest description of this natural trend of "sitting on an empty mountain" and "falling apart". Because of this, A Dream of Red Mansions is a masterpiece of naturalism.

5. Yu Pingbo
The first skill of the author of A Dream of Red Mansions is that he is good at writing human feelings. Look carefully, no one is out of date when writing a book, and no one has gone too far; The same is true for writing things and scenery. A dream of red mansions is self-pitying, self-conscious and confessional, so it can't be written by itself. Moreover, his materials are practical and cannot be reversed at will, so he wants to break the mold and offend readers. The author didn't know it unconsciously at that time, but the end of A Dream of Red Mansions always won a great victory and made great achievements. The first skill of the author of A Dream of Red Mansions is to tell the truth and be a fair mirror.

3. Germany
1932, Postscript of Kuhn's German translation of A Dream of Red Mansions: How can such a Europe, which cares about spiritual civilization, ignore and forget this huge and complete artistic work and cultural monument for a hundred years?
4. France
198 1 year, the French version of A Dream of Red Mansions was officially published. Express Weekly commented that the complete translation of this masterpiece has now been published, filling a painful gap for two centuries. In this way, it seems that people suddenly discovered Cervantes and Shakespeare. We seem to find that French classical writers Proust and Ma are tired of their painstaking efforts and decide to work together to complete such a masterpiece of genius. A Dream of Red Mansions is a masterpiece of cosmology. Cao Xueqin has Brewster's keen eyes, Tolstoy's sympathy, Samuel's clever humor, Balzac's insight and the ability to reproduce all social strata from bottom to top.
First, take personal feelings as the theme.
It is created on the basis of the author's personal experience and the most familiar and deeply felt life materials. This is the first time in the history of China's classical novels. From this perspective, it has entered the threshold of modern novels.
Second, reproduce the broad picture of life.
A Dream of Red Mansions concretely, meticulously, vividly and truly shows the broad life scenes in the social environment of the author's time, including etiquette, customs, love, friendship and ethics, all kinds of trivial details such as emotions, food, clothing, housing and daily life. This is unprecedented in previous novels.
Third, break through the traditional old method of writing people.
As soon as a dream of red mansions came out, the traditional way of writing people was broken. Not all good people are good anymore, but all bad people are bad. The author describes it truthfully and never hides it, so every character is alive and flesh and blood. This view was first put forward by Lu Xun.
Fourth, the organic whole structure of the book The structure of the book A Dream of Red Mansions
The thinking is complete, accurate and rigorous. The arrangement of the plot, the words and deeds of the characters and the development of the story are all placed in an organic whole structure, without any explicit, redundant and free pen and ink.
Fifth, the special method of confusing the fake with the real.
A Dream of Red Mansions is marked with the names Zhen and Zhen for the first time. The moral of "the truth is hidden (going) and the function words are left (going)" lies in (Cao Xueqin must have said this to Zhi Yanzhai, who commented on his book, but Zhi Yanzhai misinterpreted the second half of "the function words are left" as "the function words in the village". If only three words are homophonic, then "fake village" is not a phrase; I also wrote the typo in Fan Fan's last paragraph, which was later moved to the first round of pre-evaluation, and was mixed into the text by the copywriter. The word "fake village word" has been misrepresented to this day). The author wants to keep the truth in the form of falsehood (the reasons for falsehood are political, social, ethical and moral, literary creation and so on). ), record the world situation, and express the true feelings full of bitter tears in the form of "full of absurd words". Its connotation and techniques are naturally worth studying.
What is the literary value of A Dream of Red Mansions? First of all, for scholars who study ancient folk customs and ancient social structure, it can be regarded as a living "history of social change", that is, it allows scholars to understand ancient folk customs and traditional life more intuitively. This is a living ancient encyclopedia.
Furthermore, according to the writing of the article, the novel creation of A Dream of Red Mansions is close to perfection, that is to say, if it is only used to study the novel style, then its achievements have reached the peak. The reason why China's four classical novels can become models in the field of fiction, even in the history of world fiction, should occupy a large seat. This is because the structure of these four novels is impossible to connect with lines, which is very complicated. The stories inside are interlocking, just like real life. This is the height of A Dream of Red Mansions in the field of novel genre.
Then, from the perspective of pure literature, (that is, the wording of the whole novel) is simply amazing, because the poems in the novel also have narrative methods, including Yongzhen, which are very complicated. It is hard to believe that a person can be so knowledgeable. Cao Xueqin didn't start writing this article until he was old, so he also laid a foundation for his literary accumulation when he wrote this article, which means he accumulated a lot. Very, very powerful In other words, even if every paragraph of A Dream of Red Mansions is disassembled as a pure literary angle, its height is unusual.
Also, in ancient times, few people wrote so much about their daughters' boudoir life and the decline of a certain family. A Dream of Red Mansions just fills this vacancy. It describes in detail the rise and fall of a family and its sympathy and pity for women under the ancient feudal system.
Finally, ideologically, it is "sharp", because the style of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu portrayed by Cao Xueqin is different from the social reality at that time. Describing these two characters implies Cao Xueqin's dissatisfaction with feudal ethics.
So no matter from which angle, it has something that can be called a classic.
The reason why it can be studied the most among the four classical novels is mainly because its winning point is different from the other three.
The other three novels are pioneering in only one aspect, such as The Journey to the West, which is a masterpiece mainly because of its contents: it is "fantastic", unprecedented, unprecedented, and its imagination reaches its peak. The Water Margin, which describes the characters' personalities, is very vivid. Heroes are 108, and everyone is different. His winning point is "people".
What about a dream of red mansions?
Although the content of A Dream of Red Mansions is not unusual, it is actually very gentle, but the characterization should not be much worse than that of Water Margin. But its winning point is: knowledge and ideological connotation.
& lt& lt> It not only has profound ideological content, but also has extremely high aesthetic value, representing the highest peak of China's classical novel art.. 1, Cao Xueqin's inheritance of this theme. 2. The book makes an unprecedented artistic anatomy of the decadent nature of feudal society, convincingly reveals the historical trend of inevitable collapse, and reflects all aspects of feudal society, including political oppression, economic exploitation, slavery and struggle, as well as intrigue among the people, such as
3. The author is good at expressing the unusual meaning behind seemingly ordinary life phenomena, and his pen is directed at the essential problems of sealing society, with strong penetrating power and great artistic effect. This book shows deep sympathy for women's fate, love and marriage. In the history of China literature, no writer knows the soul of women so well. Cao Xueqin dares to affirm the beauty and light in life, and even shows the courage of a real artist by playing the banner that women are superior to men.
In the depth and breadth of anti-feudalism, there has never been such a high level as A Dream of Red Mansions. A Dream of Red Mansions has a fundamental conflict with feudal system, spirit and morality, cultural tradition, and custom forces. His criticism of that era has the color of modern democracy. 6. A Dream of Red Mansions is full of aesthetic brilliance. Cao Xueqin used his aesthetic ideal and insight to shape characters and their spiritual world, enlighten people's wisdom, improve people's sentiment, broaden people's horizons and make people get aesthetic pleasure.
7. Cao Xueqin broke the novel mode of a large number of popular novels of gifted scholars and beautiful women, and he sharply criticized the conceptualization of formulation. A Dream of Red Mansions vividly marks its style and insight.
Which is more worth discussing, the literary value or the social value of A Dream of Red Mansions? The main line of the story is actually a puppy love story of a pair of underage men and women-whether to invite them or not. Please let go. Their values are for people they love and learn, not for the general public. Let's honestly take watching TV plays and novels as our daily pastime.
The literary history value of A Dream of Red Mansions I. The influence of A Dream of Red Mansions
1. As far as the subject matter is concerned, A Dream of Red Mansions is a great love novel in China's novel history after Jin Ping Mei. It puts human feelings and the world in powder and oil traces, pushes the creation of human feelings novels to the highest peak, and marks the artistic level of China's ancient novels to a new level. After it, some narrow and evil novels and mandarin duck and butterfly novels all imitated its brushwork, and many modern and contemporary writers were influenced by it.
2. After The Dream of Red Mansions was published, more than 30 sequels appeared one after another. There are two types of these sequels, one is from chapter 120, such as A Dream of Red Mansions, A Dream of Red Mansions, and A Dream of Red Mansions. The other is after the 97th, such as A Dream of Red Mansions Supplement and A Dream of Red Mansions. Most of its contents have changed the love tragedy of the original work into a vulgar happy ending, which is far from the original work in both thought and art.
3. A Dream of Red Mansions, with its outstanding realistic creation achievements, has provided rich experience for the artistic creation at that time and later generations, with countless works such as poetry, drama, folk art, film and television, painting, dance and sculpture. A Dream of Red Mansions has also spread overseas and become a treasure in the treasure house of world literature and art..
Second, the study of A Dream of Red Mansions
After the publication of A Dream of Red Mansions, it aroused people's strong interest in commenting and studying it, and formed a special knowledge-A Dream of Red Mansions. Over the past two hundred years, there have been many schools of redology, mainly including:
1. critic. During the period from Qianlong to Guangxu, some researchers discussed the content and skills of A Dream of Red Mansions or expounded its ideological and artistic value through comments and comments, which can be called criticism school. Among them are comments by Zhi Yanzhai, Zhen Yu and others. It is enlightening and valuable for understanding novel creation. After the long speech, there are comments from Wang, a master of flower protection, a peaceful idle man and Yao Xie, a mountaineer, which also have some merits.
2. Suoyin School, commonly known as Old Red School. Seeking seclusion means exploring seclusion, that is, exploring the "skill" or "subtle meaning" hidden in the superficial story of the novel. In fact, it is to penetrate the side meeting, compare the characters and plots in the novel with the method of "guessing", confirm the historical figures and events at that time, and evaluate the significance and value of A Dream of Red Mansions. The representative work is A Dream of Red Mansions by Wang He and Shen Ping-an, which tells the story of the emperor shunzhi and Dong E Fei (Dong Xiaowan, a famous prostitute in Qinhuai). Cai Yuanpei's "The Story of the Stone" holds that this book is a political novel advocating anti-Qing and regaining sight, which is obviously the expression of the author's own nationalist thoughts.
3. New Red School, or Textual Research School. After the May 4th Movement, Hu Shi and others, on the one hand, inherited the style of study of Ganjia School, and at the same time, accepted the influence of western academic thoughts, and made a new interpretation of A Dream of Red Mansions, making a breakthrough in the field of redology research. Representative works include Hu Shi's Textual Research on a Dream of Red Mansions and Yu Pingbo's Discrimination on a Dream of Red Mansions. They refuted the subjective speculation and far-fetched attachment of the Suoyin school, and studied A Dream of Red Mansions by scientific textual research, which made valuable contributions to the outline of Cao Xueqin's family background and life and the comparison of the evolution of novel versions. They also put forward that A Dream of Red Mansions is the author's autobiography and the writer's "confession of love", so it is one-sided to regard Jia Fu and Cao Jiatong, Jia Baoyu and Cao Xueqin as one.
4. After the founding of New China, the development of redology experienced various twists and turns and made new achievements. Although the study of A Dream of Red Mansions at this stage was influenced by political thoughts more than once, and even there was a bad tendency to replace literary analysis and aesthetic analysis with political analysis, the general trend was deepening. During this period, especially since the new period, the study of A Dream of Red Mansions has involved many aspects, such as writer theory, creation theory, character theory, style theory, theme theory and so on, showing an all-round, diversified and open research pattern, which has made new expansion and new contributions on many issues. But so far, there are still serious differences on some important issues in A Dream of Red Mansions, which need further in-depth discussion. As far as its content is concerned, it directly describes or contacts the feudal society, especially all social life fields in its era. It not only covers people from all walks of life, but also makes them vividly and truly appear in the book, so it is called "the encyclopedia of feudal society"!
In the ideological sense of the work, it broke the traditional new concept in a very wide range and reached an unprecedented height. This is the time value of A Dream of Red Mansions! A Dream of Red Mansions shows outstanding social contradictions so intensively in its works, which is beyond the reach of past and contemporary works.
In terms of writing methods, A Dream of Red Mansions has broken the traditional way of writing in many aspects:
First, although A Dream of Red Mansions is a novel, it contains poems, paintings, plays and songs ... It combines the writing methods of various literary genres and integrates them.
Secondly, the personification process of mythical gods, demigods, personified immortals, foxes and ghosts in A Dream of Red Mansions is a great progress in literary creation, which pushes the realistic creation method to the peak.
In a word, the important contribution of A Dream of Red Mansions in the history of literature has the dual significance of summary and creation. While criticizing the feudal society in an all-round way, it also revealed the dawn of modern thought to the greatest extent.
What is the value of A Dream of Red Mansions to China literature? A Dream of Red Mansions has many meanings and connotations, but few people know Tao because of its literary style and romantic style. Talking about the culture of the Chinese nation, but not knowing this important feature and its origin, will inevitably make people want to prosper Baoshan-at least, buy gifts and return pearls with a sigh.
A Dream of Red Mansions is an unsurpassed peak in the history of China's novels.
The Encyclopedia of China commented that the value of A Dream of Red Mansions cannot be overestimated. The Encyclopedia Britannica commented that the value of A Dream of Red Mansions is equal to the whole of Europe. A Dream of Red Mansions is a great book. Some critics say that in China's literary history of thousands of years, if we only have A Dream of Red Mansions, its brilliance is enough to illuminate all times, at home and abroad. A Dream of Red Mansions is a romantic novel. It is about the love between men and women, and it is only with love that it is great. There must be one condition: it begins with love and ends with love, but it is not limited to love. The usual romantic works are often superficial, but the great romantic works have the basis of not expressing love, so as to show the depth of love. The greatness of A Dream of Red Mansions lies in its great structure. Under such exquisite layout and order, in this space and this group of characters, seemingly complicated stories are clearly told in the author's pen.
I. * * * Comments and opinions on A Dream of Red Mansions:
I have read A Dream of Red Mansions at least five times ... I read it as history.
2. There is a Dream of Red Mansions in the literary history of China. People who don't read this novel are not from China!
You don't need to comment on A Dream of Red Mansions if you haven't seen it five times.
Second, Lu Xun's comments and views on A Dream of Red Mansions:
1, A Dream of Red Mansions is known to many people in China. At least, it is a title book. Who are the authors and successors? Just because of the reader's eyes, there are all kinds of things: Confucian scholars saw the Book of Changes, Taoists saw obscenity, gifted scholars saw lingering, revolutionaries saw the line, gossip saw the secret things in the palace ... Baoyu in my eyes saw many deaths; It is a great distress to prove that many people are loved, because there are many unfortunate people in the world. Only those who hate others gloat, and in life, little joy is rarely hindered. However, hating others is just a lover's escape from despair, just like Baoyu's final becoming a monk.
2. "The book is written in this way. Although it is nothing more than mixed feelings, traces of gathering and scattering, and accidental characters, it is very different from previous human novels. ..... The narrative on the cover is true, and I have experienced everything I have heard, because it is realistic and fresh. ..... "("A Brief History of China's Novels ")

1. In the Grand View Garden, sisters can live in picturesque gardens, and people travel in a world of pictorial. In reality, we are getting farther and farther away from this kind of life, but our closeness to nature is getting stronger and stronger, and we all have the desire to return to nature. 2. In the class society, we have seen Baoyu's feelings of equality of all beings, respect for service personnel and no sense of high and low, which is also what our society needs to carry forward. At the same time, we also see negative examples. The girl named Shanjie is not a kind person, and the contrast between Pinger highlights the difference between good and evil. This difference is a permanent topic. 4. Secondly, A Dream of Red Mansions is a work that pursues freedom. Vivid characters not only pursue the freedom of love, but also the freedom of equal life. In A Dream of Red Mansions, we can see Xiao Hong's bold performance and lofty and sober dreams. 5. Thirdly, the poetry, diet, architecture and costumes of A Dream of Red Mansions can form an independent art category, which can be enjoyed and appreciated by groups with the same hobbies today.
What's the difference between 83 Dream of Red Mansions and 87 Dream of Red Mansions? A Dream of Red Mansions has only been published in film, TV and Yue Opera.
I don't know much about the 83rd edition you mentioned.
But personally, I think we can watch the Yue Opera version.
Don't have a taste in your heart
There are many plots and details that are not mentioned in the 87 TV series.
I think the combination of these two movies should be very good.
