高情已逐晓云空——《红楼梦》中的王朝云

On Wang Zhaoyun in Dream of Red Chamber

王朝云是大文豪苏轼的侍妾,虽然地位低下,但却在千古奇书《红楼梦》中占据一席之地。曹雪芹把她作为小说开头第二回重要环节中所述"正邪两赋"之人的收尾,与嵇康、阮籍、唐明皇和宋徽宗等二十余人并列。而苏轼所作之诗文,可以反映出王朝云的美貌、聪敏、勤劳、忠义和佛性。在《红楼梦》中,王朝云属于曹雪芹笔下的"奇优名倡"而非前人所普遍认同的"情痴情种"。王朝云不但名字出现在《红楼梦》文本中,她更与书中的女性角色如香菱、黛玉、妙玉、惜春和麝月有相似之处;而她的夫主苏轼也与《红楼梦》有颇深的渊源。
