《红楼梦》对传统才子佳人模式的突破——以儒家文化为视角

On the Breakthrough of Traditional Model of Scholar & Beauty in The Dream of The Red Chamber: From the Perspective of Confucian culture

传统才子佳人模式是指“一见钟情——历经磨难——大团圆”的文本结构,从儒家文化的视角探析,这一模式呈现出伦理型文化、内向型文化、达观型文化三个文化特征。而《红楼梦》突破了其文化特征,主要表现在三个方面:打破忠孝节义的伦理观、突破守中致和的美学观、打破“乐天精神”的悲剧意识。这一突破使《红楼梦》具有更高的社会批判价值,同时对民国初年才子佳人小说的创作具有重要的启发意义。

The traditional model of scholar and beauty refers to the textual structure of “love at first sight-tribulation-reunion”.From the perspective of Confucian culture,this model presents three cultural characteristics such as ethical culture,introverted culture and concept-reaching culture.A Dream of Red Mansions breaks through the above-mentioned cultural characteristics mainly in three aspects:breaking the ethics of loyalty and filial piety,the aesthetic view of keeping the middle and harmony,and the tragic consciousness of breaking through “the optimistic spirit”.This breakthrough makes A Dream of Red Mansions have higher social critical value as well as significant implications on the creation of novels concerning the model of scholar and beauty in the early period of the Republic of China.
