Why can Dream of Red Mansions form a red science?

History's sake.

However, I feel that the influence of the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West is not small.

Red Studies is the study of Dream of the Red Chamber and its authors. The author of the fat criticism, Yan Zhai and others, can be said to be the earliest red scientists. Therefore, since the day of the birth of "Dream of Red Mansions", the study of red studies has begun.

Why don't you study the scriptures? Zhu replied: "I also study scriptures, but the scriptures I study are less than others'.

The traditional Chinese scripture is less than one painting and three folds are red characters (see Junyao's "Cizhuju Zero Ink"). In addition, there is such a record in Li Fang's "Notes on the Eight Banners Pictorial Catalogue": "At the beginning of Guangxu, the scholars of the Beijing Dynasty especially liked to read it (referring to "Dream of Red Mansions"), and they were self-respecting as red Xueyun.

From these records, it can also be seen that the Qing Dynasty studied "Dream of Red Mansions" flourished.

There are many reasons for this.

First, Dream of Red Mansions is a huge work with rigorous logic and echoing back and forth. The so-called thousand-mile volt line. It makes people have a little curiosity.

Second, the author died before the Dream of Red Mansions was finished. So everyone was very curious about the later development, and began to speculate on the outcome by themselves through the previous research.

Thirdly, Dream of Red Mansions is a book that describes the details of life in great detail, which is different from ordinary history, it is a kind of historical detail, and studying it can help restore the original appearance of history.

In short, if it weren't for the fact that Dream of Red Mansions had not been written, it is estimated that it would be impossible to truly become a red science. It is because of its incompleteness that people want to complete it.

Dream of Red Mansions is a book that transcends the context of its time, and it can be said that it will always be one of China's four great masterpieces. But at the same time it is a broken book, because it began to circulate in manuscripts, so many places are so damaged that it is almost impossible to recover unless the original is found. Therefore, some people take pleasure in exploring the original appearance, origin and various cultural connotations of the Dream of Red Mansions, and gradually form Red Studies.

It can be said that because of the incompleteness of this book, it gives many people room to speculate and think about what to say. (There is no standard answer anyway).

Dream of Red Mansions is a literary masterpiece written by the ancient Chinese writer Cao Xueqin for ten years. It shows a broad social background in the exhibition of Zen wisdom, and through the careful portrayal of more than 400 lifelike characters, it depicts the customs and secularity of Chinese society at that time.

This literary masterpiece is a huge improvement in the level of creation of Chinese classics, therefore, together with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin" and "Journey to the West", it is known as one of China's four classical masterpieces and is a household name in China.

Dream of Red Mansions appeared in the Qing Dynasty's "Qianlong Prosperous Era", a period when the society seemed to be peaceful on the surface, but in fact, various contradictions were intensifying and developing, and the entire dynasty had reached the height of prosperity and decline, which comprehensively and profoundly reflected the characteristics of this era.

"Dream of Red Mansions" focuses on the love and marriage tragedy between aristocratic young people Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Yuchai. However, the social significance of ** lies in the fact that it does not describe this love tragedy in isolation, but takes it as the center and writes about the survival process of the representative feudal family at that time, thus reflecting the changes in society.

In the history of ancient Chinese literature, there is no work that can write a love tragedy as exciting as "Dream of the Red Chamber". **, as well as the poems and songs interspersed in between, and even the names of people, seem to have their own deep meanings, triggering infinite reflections on the reader.

Dream of Red Mansions is not only a great literary work, but also an important historical material for the study of ancient Chinese bureaucracy, philosophical thoughts, cultural forms, folk phenomena, and even handicraft manufacturing such as iron and porcelain.

"Dream of Red Mansions" can be interpreted from various angles, and everyone's understanding is different, satisfying "a thousand people have a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people".

First, it gives readers a lot of room for imagination.

The difference between the other three books is that "Dream of Red Mansions" only has the first 80 chapters, and the last 40 chapters are written by Gao Exu Xinyin, which means that no one knows what the content of the last 40 chapters is. Therefore, it triggers the creation and association of readers. The other three masterpieces express complete ideas and stories for readers to read heartily, and they were all written during the feudal dynasty, unlike "Dream of Red Mansions", which was written at the end of the feudal dynasty.

Second, the story can be interpreted from multiple perspectives.

The story of "Dream of Red Mansions" is believed by some to be Jia Baoyu's dream of the Red Chamber, because Jia Baoyu has experienced the process of the family from prosperity to decline, some people think that it is an allusion to the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and some people think that Cao Xueqin is writing the history of the decline of his family... It's interesting to interpret it from any angle. And there are multiple versions of this book on the Internet, some are manuscripts, some are decanter versions, and the ending of each book is different, and there are also versions written by modern red scientists. Because no one has seen the original, the various versions are fascinating.

3. Trigger discussions.

In addition, the book "Dream of Red Mansions" has also aroused a lot of discussion, which is not found in the other three famous books, because the ideas and stories expressed in the other three famous books are quite clear, and only because of its content that the Dream of Red Mansions has triggered a huge amount of discussion, it has extended to Red Studies. Because of the existence of Red Studies, it attracted a lot of people to join the discussion, and everyone was very interested in the discussion derived from this book, so it attracted more people to participate in the discussion. The extension of Hongxue also shows that there is a lot of controversy in this book, and it is indeed the most valuable in itself.

The more I discuss the book, the more interesting the details become. <>

Because of the Dream of Red Mansions, although the chaotic burial of the bridge is the decay of the family, in fact, all the research content in it spans the combination of literature, intellectual history, philosophy, food culture, economics and psychology, and traditional Chinese medicine. The reason why the other three famous novels do not have this kind of liquid production of classmates is because their entire ending and narration are already very clear and very dedicated in a field.

The first point is that the story told by Dream of Red Mansions is actually different from other famous books, and the second point can extend the reason why Hongxue is cautious, that is, he and the whole storyline are also very interesting. Sparrows are filial.

Because "Dream of Red Mansions" is written about human nature, the interpretation of human nature can be continued in any dynasty, and the other three famous works all have a certain number of virtual and apotheosis parts, which makes it difficult to extend.

The Dream of Red Mansions is known as an encyclopedia, covering a wide range of areas, and has no ending, and describes the lives of the common people and bureaucrats in the Qing Dynasty in great detail. These are all worth looking into.

"Dream of Red Mansions" is a treasure of Chinese culture, compared with the other three masterpieces, there are many places worthy of our in-depth study in "Dream of Red Mansions", including the description of characters in writing, Wang Xifeng's handling and management ability in management, medicine, diet, etc., each industry and individual will have different gains when studying "Dream of Red Mansions", it is a book worth studying.

There are too many things worth studying, as a treasure of Chinese national art, its content is almost the essence, such as those dialects that have not been thoroughly studied so far, and the unique knowledge contained in them.

Because "Dream of Red Mansions" is an encyclopedia, it contains the use and production methods of medicine, the practice of food, etc., and the poems are also very beautiful, and the character characteristics of the characters are also worth scrutinizing!

The Manchu Qing Dynasty envied the culture of the Central Plains, but it could not be thoroughly understood, and later developed into the more obscure and difficult to understand, the more respected, the articles in the early Qing Dynasty were still close to the vernacular, and the more obscure they were, the more they wanted to save face, the more they did not understand, the more they felt good, otherwise it didn't mean that they were inferior in learning, not that I couldn't learn but this article was too profound! So that some of the broken sentences in the Red Mansion do not have a clear explanation, there can be many interpretations in one sentence, and everyone can't convince others, and then it causes controversy, on the other hand, Journey to the West, a person who doesn't know much about classical Chinese can understand the general meaning of the plot, so there are not so many arguments.

Because it is one of the four famous novels.
