失意士子的形象写照——作家曹雪芹和他笔下的妙玉

Miaoyu in A Dream of Red Mansions:a Portraiture of Frustrated Scholars

一个与贾府毫无瓜葛的女子,为何能跻身"金陵十二钗正册",且位居凤姐、李纨诸人之前;一个遁入空门的人,为何不剃去满头青丝,且又尘心时动;一个与《红楼梦》故事的主线发展并无多大关联的角色,为何能让作者如此倾情……本文通过对《红楼梦》文本的反复研读,感觉这位带发修行的妙玉其实是我国历代失意士子的形象写照,并寄托了作者曹雪芹对人生对社会对命运的诸多感慨。

As a woman who has no relation with Jia family,why she can be listed in the regular register of twelve beauties of Jingling with a position higher than Fengjie and Li Wang;as a monk,why she does not cut her hair and occasionally arouse her mind of mortal life;as a character who has little relation with the main line of A Dream of Red Mansions,why she can attract so much feeling of the readers.The authors of the paper find that,in fact,Miaoyu is portraiture of frustrated scholars in dynasties.In this character,Cao Xueqin placed much emotion of life,society and destiny.
