Let's talk about the first question first. Aside from the interpretation of "Dream of Red Mansions", from the nature of the novel alone, "Dream of Red Mansions" should be read with the curiosity of watching lively.

in the
87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" Once again, I have read the original book many times and watched the TV series many times. Why is it still difficult to read? For this type of readers or movie fans, the individual is also at such a bottleneck. The recent thinking of is that they did not understand the previous episodes of "Dream of Red Mansions". For example, the author set up a mystery in the previous episodes. The verdict and the foreshadowing set by the dialogue in the text have not been fully understood. The first few episodes of are the keynote of the whole novel, which is very difficult to understand, and some poems are difficult to understand without professional interpretation. Such as "the world knows everything about knowledge, and the cultivation of human feelings is the article", "the fake is true when it is true and false, and there is no place for nothing." Some words like this are like famous sayings, which originally contain profound philosophical principles. inside. On this point, the famous Chinese philosopher Feng Youlan of the last century made a detailed discussion in his article "The Spirit of Chinese Philosophy" (included in his book "A Brief History of Chinese Philosophy"):
is the most beautiful Chen Xiaoxu's version of Lin Daiyu
some philosophy Works, like Mencius's and Xunzi's, still have systematic reasoning and argumentation. But compared with western philosophy works, they are still not clear enough. This is because Chinese philosophers are used to expressing their thoughts in the form of famous sayings and metaphors. "Laozi" is full of famous sayings, and most of "Zhuangzi" is full of metaphors. This is obvious. However, even the works of Mencius and Xunzi mentioned above still have too many famous sayings and metaphors compared with Western philosophical works. Famous sayings must be short; metaphors must be unrelated.
Therefore, famous sayings and metaphors are not clear enough. They are not clear enough but more than suggestive, and the former gets compensation from the latter. Of course, clarity and implication are incompatible. An expression, the more clear, the less it implies; just like an expression, the more prosaic, the less poetic. is because the speeches and articles of Chinese philosophers are not very clear, so what they imply is almost infinite.
is full of suggestion, rather than clear at a glance. It is the ideal of all Chinese art, poetry, painting and others. Take poetry as an example. Often what the poet wants to convey is not what is said directly in the poem, but what is not said in the poem. According to Chinese tradition, good poems "have a lot of words and meanings." So smart readers can read the meaning of poetry and the meaning of "between the lines" in books. Ideals like Chinese art are also reflected in the way Chinese philosophers express their thoughts.
Why is "Dream of Red Mansions" difficult to understand, because the author has used famous words to express the philosophical ideas of the novel in the past few times. Experts in the study of Red Studies are either historians, archaeologists, or writers. Few Chinese-style philosophers come to the study, and Hu Shi, who studies Red Studies, is only half a philosopher.
Finally, let’s talk about the fourth question. Putting aside the four classics of "A Dream of Red Mansions" and the aura of A Dream of Red Mansions, where does "A Dream of Red Mansions" attract you?
To me, it is a classic poem from "Dream of Red Mansions", and I have tried to memorize it. And when practicing calligraphy, red letters are often used. For example, the verdict of the Twelve Hairpins in Jinling and "Burial Flower Yin". For you, is Bao Dai's lingering love story? Or four peopleThe history of the decline and fall of the clan Or something else?
