[Appreciation of Poetry]
In order to express feelings and arouse readers' interest, the author of A Dream of Red Mansions introduced readers into a confusing mythical world at the beginning of the whole study, and skillfully invented a story of "illusory life" with the help of the familiar myth of the goddess mending the sky. The experience of the head is the experience of Jia Baoyu; The head portrait is a symbol of Jia Baoyu and also contains the shadow of the author Cao Xueqin.
"Nothing can fill the sky", is the author right? I am in the last days of feudal society, and I can't do anything. From his own experience, he saw the corruption and depravity of the aristocratic society where he came from, and the beauty he once loved was irrevocably declining.
He realized the inevitability of this ending from a simple dialectical point of view, and realized that the aristocratic class did not deserve a better fate, so he mercilessly exposed and whipped them. However, the author is not without nostalgia for his rich and prosperous life in the past, especially for many characters (mostly pure and kind young women) who he warmly praised and burned with the collapse of feudal families. He also wants to do something. To make up for the broken "heaven" of feudal society, but society did not give him such one? An opportunity to do something (if you have the opportunity, you don't have to do it). As a result, he was "half down and out, with nothing" and spent the rest of his life in poverty and loneliness. So, "waste into the world of mortals for many years"? It is also the author's own lament to say Jia Baoyu.
