浅谈《姽婳词》在《红楼梦》中的作用

Function of Guihua Ci in A Dream of Red Mansions

《红楼梦》第七十八回,曹雪芹借宝玉之手写了一首题为《(女危)(女画)词》的诗,内容是赞美林四娘的忠义精神,但其中有作者的点睛之笔,它表达了宝玉反封建传统的异端思想,是与作者“赞美女性”的创作主旨相一致的。在情节上这首诗是宝玉在睛雯之死到制作《芙蓉女儿诔》之间的过渡,两诗一为引,一为本,相辅相成,都闪耀着民主思想的光辉,可看成是《红搂梦》反封建主题的重要组成部分。

In Chapter 78 of A Dream of Red Mansionsjxi the name of Jia Baoyu,Cao Xueqin wrote a poem entitled Guihua Ci,to praise Lin Siniang's spirit of 'loyalty and righteousness'.In this poem, there is an apt word added to clinch the point,which expressed Baoyu's heterodox thought against feudal tradition.This point holds identical view with thenovel's gist--to praise women.In plots,this poem is the transition from Qingwen's death toBaoyu's writing Elegy for the Hibiscus Maid.The former should be considered the latter's opening words. Both of them contain the thought of democracy, which can be regarded as an important part of the novel's theme-against feudalism.
