论脂评的骂世精神和醒世苦心

On ZHI Ping's Abusive Language to Awaken the World

人情小说是中国古代小说中的重要流派,《红楼梦》代表了人情小说的最高成就,因此脂评的骂世、醒世主要围绕人情世态借题发挥。脂评发扬了前人借评点小说伤时骂世的批判精神,从多方面对人性的弱点、丑恶的社会现象,给予嘲讽和鞭挞;同时,作者又怀着救世的良苦用心,结合自己的亲身体验,告诫世人应该弃恶从善。

A DREAM OF RED MANSIONS represents the greatest achievement of sentimental novels, one of the important schools of Chinese ancient novels. ZHI Ping blames the world by commenting on social snobbery so as to awaken the world. On the one hand, ZHI Ping satirizes and castigates social evils and human weaknesses. On the other hand, he exhorts ordinary people to give up vice and return to virtue in the light of his personal experiences.
