When Chairman Mao met with foreign guests in the 1970s, he proudly said: "I am for us The country is proud of having a "Dream of Red Mansions"." It deeply shows that as a leader of a big country, he has profound literary accomplishment and profound cultural heritage. On different occasions, he has repeatedly encouraged the generals to read "A Dream of Red Mansions" carefully, and especially emphasized that if you don't read "A Dream of Red Mansions" five times, you have no right to speak. This shows that "A Dream of Red Mansions" is important to the country and the people Sex and influence.
I have read different versions of "A Dream of Red Mansions" three times at different times. According to Chairman Mao's teaching, if you don't read it five times, you won't have the right to speak, and you don't have the most basic requirements for speaking. A few words, because I just received a set of Cheng Yi's "Dream of Red Mansions" published in the 1950s. In addition to being happy, I am willing to share my joy with everyone in a hurry, so as to be a good guide, in order to communicate and learn from each other, discuss and discuss, and at the same time, it can also greatly satisfy my desire to show off.
If someone asks me what book I like to read most in my life, I will answer without hesitation, it is "A Dream of Red Mansions", and if someone asks me who is most qualified to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in China, I will blurt out, not Cao Xueqin is none other than that.
The artistic achievement of "Dream of Red Mansions" is indeed extremely perfect. It can be said that adding a word is redundant, and subtracting a word is a loss. The poetry and writing are perfect. No wonder Lu Xun once said: "Dream of Red Mansions is the pinnacle of the Ministry of Education." It is indeed an exaggeration.
Cao Xueqin is China's greatest and most outstanding novelist, unparalleled before or since. And "A Dream of Red Mansions" is the most precious literary wealth in the world, unprecedented, unprecedented, and incomparable in the world. That's why the ancients often said: "If you don't read Stones, you will be a scholar in this life."
I am an ordinary reader, and my knowledge and understanding of "A Dream of Red Mansions" is far from enough. I am afraid that it is not enough to be satisfied with reading it five times. of. "A Dream of Red Mansions" is an encyclopedia of life. There is so much knowledge and knowledge in it. The variety of poems alone is enough to make people envious.
The famous scholar Shen Yinmo once felt this way and said sincerely many times that Cao Xueqin is his best poetry teacher. He is really a famous teacher and a great apprentice. As we all know, Shen Yinmo is the most outstanding tutor and professor of Peking University and . He has extensive knowledge and is full of peaches and plums. This must have a lot to do with reading "Dream of Red Mansions".
My first reading of "Dream of Red Mansions" began in the early 1980s. I was not a weak champion, and I was not familiar with the world. I was just watching the excitement. However, Cao Xueqin's wonderful and shocking writing still left a deep impression on me, especially The pages full of gorgeous and fragrant poems make me even more infatuated and fascinated.
Since then, I have tried to learn to write poetry, and gradually developed a good living habit. Every time the scenery before the flowers and the moon, or the sky in the spring and the snow, will make me feel emotional, and induce my immature poetic nature, until now , still writing poems, this is entirely thanks to "A Dream of Red Mansions", really taught by Cao Xueqin.
Later, as I got older, I read it twice in succession, but I didn't understand it. Anyway, I really liked reading, even thirsty and sleepless, and it had a huge and subversive effect on my life value orientation and literary creation motivation. influences.
At the moment, I re-read this set of Cheng Yi, and I came up with a whim and did not write a new book. While leisurely listening to the music of the TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions" composed by Wang Liping and , I concentrated on reading Cao Xueqin's famous novel "A Dream of Red Mansions". The elegant feeling of
is both wonderful and magical. The beautiful tune is like the sound of heaven, and it has been unforgettable for three days. It is really this song that should only be found in the sky, and it should be heard many times in the world. And Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions" is a wonderful pen written by God, with ingenuity made in heaven, and the essence of 5,000 years of culture is contained in one book, and its glory has survived for eternity.
One is the voice of the music master, and the other is the masterpiece of the literary master. The perfect blend of art, travels through time and space, and resonates between ancient and modern. The perfect artistic effect seems to put me in the magnificent Grand View Garden , wow, I am drunk!
This scene suddenly reminds me of another philosopher, Zhu Guangqian's masterpiece , a passage in " on beauty ", "Life is full of art, we must learn to appreciate and create, beauty is created by the people, and it can bring spiritual enjoyment to the people. ." If I didn't pay attention, I became a beauty creator again.
"The paper is full of absurd words, a handful of bitter tears, and the author is crazy, who can understand the taste." The inexhaustible "Dream of Red Mansions", its artistic ideas and literary suspense, should be left to red scientist to study and decipher it. Well, I'm just being arty, talk a few words lightly, express a little bit of ink in my chest, and share it with Tibetan friends, so that I can fully express the feelings of a scholar.
