《儒林外史》《红楼梦》与魏晋风度

“Unofficial History of Confucian Scholars”、“A Dream of Red Mansions”And The Demeanor of WeiJin

《儒林外史》、《红楼梦》这两部风格迥异的著作，在精神上却极为相通，另一巧合之处在于，从作者本身到小说人物乃至作品背后潜藏的情怀都与魏晋风度有着千丝万缕的联系。本文分析了这两部作品中魏晋风度式的“恣情任性”和“穷途而泣”，展现了沉闷压抑的社会环境中具有独立人格理想的才智之士内心的苦闷与矛盾，他们始终抱着对于美的事物的执着怀想，这种不计成败的信仰是中国知识分子源远流长的一个信念。

“Unofficial history of Confucian scholars”and“A dream of red mansions”,though in two different manner, resemble in their spirits, and are related to the demeanor of WeiJin in authors, characters of novels, and sentiments.

However, with the belief of long standing, people are careless of aftereffects, only for seeking for the Beauty of the world.
