从《红楼梦魇》看《红楼梦》对张爱玲的影响

Influence of Dream of the Red Mansions on Eileen Zhang From Nightmare in the Red Chamber

《红楼梦魇》是文学家张爱玲情节化操作之外的特例,这部关于《红楼梦》的考据和评点专论,是她穷毕十年精力的后期作品。张爱玲对《红楼梦》及研究的"疯狂"是其这部学术专论的表征,而她与《红楼梦》及其作者之间的文化传承关系是这部专论的非学术隐义。张爱玲与曹雪芹文人品格的共性,源于他们共同的末世之感;张爱玲继承了《红楼梦》对悲剧本原的演绎方式,将《红楼梦魇》作为自己的间接诉情文本。《红楼梦魇》的完成过程,是张爱玲消解其对时代与人性的悲剧感,表达情感最后归宿的过程。同时,《〈红楼梦魇〉自序》为审视张爱玲与《红楼梦》及作者的情感渊源,考察她与曹雪芹在精神特质、审美传达等方面的契合,深入研究张爱玲的创作意识和文本意义,提供新的考察视角。

As an exception of Eileen Zhang＇s operation of emplotment,Nightmare in the Red Chamber is a textual research and comment on Dream of Red Mansions, being her later work through ten years of effort. Eileen Zhang, together with her craziness towards the research of Dream of Red Mansions, is the representation of this academic work; the relation of cultural inheritance from Dream of Red Mansions and its writer to her is the nonacademic underlying meaning of this work. The commonness between Xueqin Cao＇s and Eileen Zhang＇s scholar characteristics is deeply rooted in their sense of ＂World＇s End＂ in common; inheritating Dream of Red Mansions＇ demonstrating method to the essence of tragedy, Eileen Zhang deemed Nightmare in the Red Chamber as indirect expressive text. The process of Nightmare in the Red Chamber＇s creation is the one of Eileen Zhang＇s eliminating her sense of tragedy to the epoch and human nature and expressing the final incidence of her sentiment. Meanwhile, Preface of Nightmare in the Red Chamber provides us with a brandnew point of view of observing the psychological affinity between Eileen Zhang and Dream of Red Mansions, researching into the similarity between Xueqin Cao and her in spiritual features and aesthetical expression and studying Eileen Zhang＇s creation motivation and textual meaning.
