从“宝玉”的“来历”理解贾宝玉的形象

Understanding JIA Baoyu’s Image from the“Source”of“Baoyu”

贾宝玉形象有一个极为重要的特点:他的思想性格和人生方式不是来自于现实生活,而是来源于他的神话出身。女娲所“生”赋予了他极为不同的思想性格,赋予了他区别于所有人的思想观念、精神特质、情感方式和人生方式等等。曹雪芹担心读者不能完全理解贾宝玉的神话来源,特别用了五个“来历”强调贾宝玉思想性格与神话的关系。贾宝玉的“来历”决定了贾宝玉形象的独特性,决定了贾宝玉的潜意识,决定了贾宝玉所有的思想行为,也决定了《红楼梦》最深刻的批判性主题。曹雪芹以对贾宝玉“来历”的反复强调,提示读者要高度重视贾宝玉形象来源于女娲补天神话的独特性。

The JIA Baoyu’s image has a very important feature.His thought,personality and life style are not from the reality,but from his mythic identity.Origin from Nvwa has endowed him distinguished thought and personality,concept,spiritual attributes,emotions and life styles different from all other people.CAO Xueqin once worried about the readers’failure to understand Baoyu’s mythic origin.He stressed the relationship between Baoyu’s personality and the myth with the“five origins”.His identity has determined the uniqueness of his image,subconsciousness,thoughts,behaviors as well as the profound critic subject of A Dream of Red Mansions.CAO’s repeated stress of this has reminded readers of paying attention to the uniqueness of Baoyu’s image originated from the myth of Nvwa mending the sky.
