逐物措置 画花绘雪——从绘画角度解读《红楼梦》

Interpretation of A Dream in Red Mansions from the Perspective of Painting

《红楼梦》一书与绘画有着多方面的联系。《红楼梦》中重要人物的命运大多在第五回中以图画的形式作了暗示。《红楼梦》中的大观园乃曹雪芹"胸中之丘壑",此园必是在其内心激荡酝酿、精心构造成图画后再落笔写来的。《红楼梦》里绘景绘人往往不事雕琢,几笔简单勾勒就能表现出"天然图画"般的意境美,给略显沉闷的叙述增加一抹亮色和一些趣味。书中还多用画花绘雪法暗中烘托故事。此外,书中不少地方使用了绘画中"逐物措置"的方法,在描绘某些场面时,对其中每一个人物的行动举止均作了合理的安排,整体上给人拥而不挤、散而不乱的画面感。

A Dream in Red Mansions has various links with paintings.The fate of the most important figures in the book was hinted in the form of pictures in the Fifth Chapter.Daguanuan is“Cao Xue-qin’s gully”in his heart,and it must be brewed first,and then drawn in his mind,and finally written by him.His descriptions of scenery and figures are natural paintings without any polish and show the beauty of artistic mood,which adds some bright color and interest to the slightly tedious narration.In the book,the descrip-tion of flowers and snow is more used to set the story off.In addition,in depicting some occasions,every-one’s behavior is arranged properly,which presents pictures that are not crowded and scattered as a whole.
