“情”本位的哲理建构与人世演绎——论《红楼梦》神话叙事结构对主题的揭示

The Philosophical Construction Based on “Affection” and the Road of Life——The Thematic Disclosure of the Mythical Narrative Structure of A Dream of Red Mansions

《红楼梦》在首尾叙事框架所包含的三个神话故事中寄寓了抽象而超拔的意义,与贾宝玉形象相对应的“石头”神话借石头的经历表达了作者人生体验的哲理玄思;“绛珠还泪”神话隐喻宝黛悲剧爱情故事,体现了作者对新的爱情理想与人文环境冲突的哲学思索;“太虚幻境”神话演绎作者对“情”形而上的认识与观念。神话较之于文本主体,其表意更为深玄,但无一不以“情”为本位而建构,而中国小说首尾叙事的传统富有对作品主旨大义的包蕴与揭示特性,因而一部《红楼梦》可以看作是对首尾叙事框架中所蕴含的“情”本位哲学主题的人世演绎。

The three myths that occur in the narrative structure of A Dream of Red Mansions have abstract and profound significance. The myth of the Stone correspondent to Jia Baoyu expresses the author＇s life experience and philosophical thinking. The Vermilion Pearl Plant repaying gratitude with tears expresses the author＇s ideal about love. The Great Void Dreamland expresses the author＇s metaphysical perception and ideas about ＂affection＂. Myths are more expressive than the subject of the text. The beginning-end narrative structure of Chinese fiction often reveals the theme of the work. In a word, A Dream of Red Mansions is the description of human life, based on ＂affection＂ as a philosophical theme embodied in the beginning-end narrative structure.
