The plot of The Tale of Genji is not too simple

In the long history of thousands of years, the book "Genji" has been damaged and lost, and there are very few chapters left in the existing Purple Shikibu Edition, and the Chinese version we can see is transcribed and translated by later generations, and each translation will refer to different transcriptions and translations, including many English translations.

Purple Shibu is written in ancient Japanese "Genji", we modern people look at the early years of the Song Dynasty ** and there will be a language barrier, not to mention in foreign **, I once read the original "Genji" imported from Japan in Beijing Foreign Language Bookstore, it is a very thin and thin small book.

To turn to a phrase I often say:

The Tale of Genji does have a lot of procrastination, the same scene is repeated in different scenes, and there are even some verses that are used several times on different characters. On the one hand, it is so long ago that even modern Japanese people cannot fully understand the customs and customs of the time, let alone us as foreigners. Second, translating ancient Japanese into modern Chinese will inevitably lose most of its taste, just like straining tea through a filter paper (or even several times) before drinking it; Third, none of the six Japanese translations used by Feng Zikai in translating "Genji" is the original of Murasaki Shikibu, and they are all transcribed or translated by later generations, and Lin Wenyue also used the English translation when translating, which certainly cannot convey the original meaning of Murasaki Shikibu well.

In fact, "Genji" is full of politics, even more direct than "Dream of Red Mansions", if you only see love in "Genji", and ignore the deeper social background, cultural customs, religious etiquette and other aspects, you will definitely misunderstand this work.

Moreover, "The Tale of Genji" is mainly characterized by the delicate description of the characters, rather than how complex the story, the whole book is 54 volumes, involving four generations, spanning more than 70 years, with a total of more than 400 characters. Again, the author wrote this book mainly to express himself"No matter how flashy life is, it will eventually be a passing moment"This thought, on the other hand, expressed her disgust with the life of the upper class in Japan at that time, so it was unlikely to happen"Surprise"to the reader.

Finally, "The Tale of Genji" has the main advantage of smooth and smooth connection in the plot, and there are so many independent love experiences, but they run smoothly and like one thing. Its main body is prose Chinese poetry and songs, and its characteristics are delicate and elegant.

The Tale of Genji depicts the life of Japanese aristocratic society through Genji's relationships with women of all walks of life and his political ups and downs, and expresses the intrigue between the aristocracy and their spiritual emptiness and corruption in life.

The Tale of Genji is full of a strong sense of impermanence and fatalism, using karma and a sense of sin to connect Genji's relationships with characters such as Kiritsu, Shihime, Fumikun and Hime-kun, and Ukifune, and their misanthropy—some of them hope for the happiness of their blind grandsons in the next life, some of them retreat, and some of them become monks—and there is a causal relationship with their behavior. Despite this, its foothold is not to promote the Buddha's teachings.
