《红楼梦》的两餐制与清代宫廷风习

On Two Meals per Day in A Dream of Red Chamber and the Custom of Qing Dynasty

《红楼梦》中的荣国府日常饮食制度是两餐制,即一天吃两顿饭。这和当时中国大多数人,主要是汉族的一日三餐在建制上是迥异的。从餐饮制度上看,《红楼梦》中的荣国府,反映的是满洲贵族的真实日常生活,也是清代宫廷风习的微观表现形式。两餐制从文化建构上说,是具有强烈的身份认同意识的满人日常生活的行为方式之一。

In A Dream of Red Chamber,the most excellent ancient Chinese novel,people eat two meals per day,which is different from current diet conventions.This convention was closely connected with the culture and custom of Manchu,who was the conqueror and ruler of China in the 17th century.
