“海棠违时开”深层结构的重要意义——《红楼梦》象征方法研究

The Importance of the Deep Structure of Crabapple Blossoming Out of Season Research on the Symbolic Method of A Dream of Red Mansions

海棠花系统是曹雪芹女性主义思想精神的象征。但是,海棠花违时开,就象征了大观园青春女儿自由欢乐生活,不是发生在女性主义的“春天”里,而是发生在贾府男权统治的“冬天”,因而它必然是一个大悲剧。海棠花违时开花之后,贾宝玉的“宝玉”丢了;因为“宝玉”是从女娲补天那里带来的,因而是女性主义的象征,也是贾宝玉灵魂的象征。但是,由于“海棠违时开”象征了女性主义精神的凋零,贾宝玉自然也就没有了灵魂,“宝玉”丢失是贾宝玉灵魂丢失的象征。海棠花和“宝玉”都是从女娲补天神话那里衍生而来的象征,海棠花违时开和“宝玉”的丢失,是青春女儿凋零悲剧的原型性象征。

The crabapple flower system is a symbol of feminist ideology.However,the crabapple blossoming out of season symbolizes the free and joyful life of the young lady in the Grand View Garden,which does not occur in the“spring”of feminism,but in the“winter”of male domination,so it is bound to be a devastating tragedy.After crabapple blossomed out of season,Jia Baoyu’s“baoyu”(which refers to the precious jade)was lost.“baoyu”was brought from Nuwa mending the sky,so that it is a symbol of feminism and a symbol of Jia Baoyu’s soul.However,because the crabapple blossoming out of season symbolizes the destruction of the feminist spirit and the loss of“baoyu”is a symbol of the loss of Jia Baoyu’s soul.Crabapple flowers and“baoyu”are both symbols from the myth of Nuwa mending the sky.The crabapple blossoming out of season and the loss of“baoyu”are archetypal symbols of the great tragedy of the destruction of young lady.
