从“林下”进入文本深处——《红楼梦》的“互文”解读

Probing into the Text through the Concept of“Lin Xia”:Unscrambling the Intertextuality in A Dream of Red Mansions

《红楼梦》研究面临着路径、方法的重新考量的问题。新旧"红学"试图以影射、自传阐释文本的途径矛盾丛生,愈走愈窄。而通过广义的互文视角,却可以揭示出这部小说生成的文化、文学血脉——林黛玉的精神气质、林黛玉与薛宝钗二元对待的描写方式,都不是索隐或考证能解决的;无论"林下风气"与"闺房之秀"的"兼美"向往,还是"红楼"、"梦"、"葬花"等意象透露的忏悔心态,以及"太虚幻境"展现的女性天国等,都是那个时代常见的言说。

Currently, it is really necessary to rethink the ways and the means in studying A Dream of Red Mansions. New and traditional redology have attempted to elucidate A Dream of Red Mansions based on the theories of 'fact-searching''(Suoyin') and autobiography, but they begin to find that the study falls into a dilemma and conundrum. However, intertextuality in the broad sense reveals the cultural and literary vein and root of A Dream of Red Mansions. By contrast, it is difficult to expound the ethos and charisma of Lin Daiyu and the description of duality about Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.But in fact, both the aesthetic ideal that combining unconventional presence of scholars(Lin Xia Zhi Feng, which means refined elegance) with traditional female elegance(appeal generated by the heritage boudoir) or the repentance revealed by the imageries of the'red mansion','dream','burying flowers sentimentally', and so on, even the 'women's paradise'hinted in the dreamland tour(Tai Xu Huanjing), are all the familiar social consciousness in the time of A Dream of Red Mansions.
