横看成岭侧成峰——《红楼梦》辩证主题初探(三则)

Dialectical Themes in "A Dream of Red Mansions"

《红楼梦》的主题是辩证的,它既是爱情小说,也是阐发佛理的小说。生命与爱情之真与生命与爱情之幻都得到了充分的表达。葬花吟,以花之真与幻暗喻生命与爱情的真切与虚幻,进而喻诸大观园众女儿的真切与虚幻。同时,作为女尊男卑的主题的阐发,《红楼梦》描写了为男性所不及的大观园诸女性的风华才具,也具有强烈的启蒙意义。

The themes of＂A Dream of Red Mansions＂are dialec-tical. It is not only a romance novel, but also a novel elucidating Buddhism. The truth of life and love as well as the illusion of life and love are both fully expressed. In Song for Burying Flowers, the truth and illusion of flowers is used as a metaphor for the truth and illusion of life and love, and even the truth and illusion of the women in the Grand View Garden. Meanwhile, to elucidate the theme that women enjoy higher status than men, the elegance and talent of the women in the Grand View Garden that men don＇t have is described in ＂A Dream of Red Mansions＂, which is also of strong enlightenment significance.
