I remember watching A Dream of Red Mansions when I was very young. I was depressed and didn't like reading when I was a child. The complexity and noise of the Grand View Garden seems to be my childhood understanding of A Dream of Red Mansions. In a word, this book only records Baoyu's frivolity, Daiyu's melancholy, Baochai's generosity, Granny Liu's kindness, Xifeng's meanness, and other characters' respective frivolity and meanness.
After reading it carefully, with the enrichment of views, this book in my mind not only means a purely tacky story, but also begins to have a deeper meaning. The unknown sadness and suffering revealed behind that story also made me appreciate the profound thoughts and rebellious thoughts of Cao Xueqin, a talented writer.
Baoyu once said, "Women are made of water and men are made of mud. The former is pure before marriage and natural after marriage. " Why does Baoyu feel this way? Doesn't this imply that Cao Xueqin was extremely disgusted and indignant at the phenomenon of patriarchal society at that time? Why is Daiyu unhappy and happy to leave but unhappy to get together? It is through this poignant beauty that the author expresses his inner feelings about the humiliation and lack of freedom of the literati in feudal society, so his heart is sad and melancholy, and the vitriol of other characters, such as Feng, is also a true portrayal of the wretched villain of that era. There are also good-hearted dissidents, such as the above-mentioned attacking people and bitter villains, as well as the helpful, warm and kind side, which is the moment when the author is kind and peaceful. However, the tragic color still hangs over this beautiful and ironic story, and the separation of Rong Ning's two families also shows the author's extreme disappointment in society and the free and easy sadness of seeing through the world of mortals, which makes readers feel that it is one of them.
Although the social indifference revealed between the lines of this book can really make people sigh like the author, it also has a good and kind side. For example, the family in the Grand View Garden drinks and reads poems together, enjoying the excitement and happiness of Spring Festival couplets together, just like Baoyu's cleverness and eloquence when facing Daiyu, and feeling the warmth of the family together also makes readers feel a little duckweed when reading. This is also a true portrayal of folk customs, good upbringing and the rich culture of the Chinese nation. However, the more so, the more miserable the outcome, the more reluctant it is. Otherwise, the author's sharp language and spearhead will not point directly at the deepest part of people's hearts, so sad.
After watching a dream of red mansions, I escaped from the social shadow of suppressing feudalism and took a long breath. Looking around, my living environment can at least give me a sigh of relief. What about people then? I can't help myself, my mind is locked up. What is their mood? Therefore, every time I finish reading A Dream of Red Mansions, the tension and depression before reading seem to disappear, and my inner understanding of suffering and hardship is deeper, and my pursuit of dreams is more persistent. We should also be happy about it. We live in a people-oriented era. In life, there are hardships and difficulties, but this is inevitable. It has nothing to do with the environment and ideas. However, compared with people in feudal society, we at least have the right to defeat him. We have the ability to beat him, and we are qualified to beat him. Isn't this lucky?
A dream of red mansions, leaning on the bookshelf, quietly exudes a faint fragrance, which is joy, sadness, gathering and parting. It breeds the connotation of fanaticism; It inherited profound thoughts; It is full of intoxicating sadness. ...
