四季赓续与《红楼梦》的结构特征

Four Seasons and the Structure of Dream of Red Mansions

《红楼梦》是一部"四季分明"的小说,四季赓续是透视《红楼梦》艺术结构的极佳角度。《红楼梦》在四季赓续上呈现出"前跳后连"的整体特点,并将《红楼梦》分成"大观园外"和"大观园内"两大部分。四季赓续也是大观园部分在时间跨度上出现"膨胀"现象和《红楼梦》在第八十回戛然而止的内在原因之一。

Dream of Red Mansions is a novel full of ＂four seasons＂.Continuous four-season change is a great perspective of this novel.Dream of Red Mansions showed a characteristic of ＂jump forward and connect backward＂ at four-season description and also divided the novel into ＂inside Garden and outside Garden＂ two parts.Continuous four-season is also one of the reasons for ＂swelling＂ phenomenon and an abrupt end at session in Dream of Red Mansion.
