《红楼梦》的两只“凤凰”与对比映衬艺术

Two “Phoenix” and the Art of Contrast in A Dream of Red Mansions

《红楼梦》通过"凤凰"意象将王熙凤与贾探春自然对接,一显一隐,一反一正,相互对比又相互映衬,交错呼应又相反相成,构成别具匠心、有机组合的艺术镜像。对比映衬艺术不仅使王熙凤与贾探春构成"两山对峙,二水分流"、相映成趣的审美格局,而且以复调的方式奏响了封建末世的哀音,从整体上显现出丰富而深刻的悲剧内涵。

Wang Xifeng and Jia Tanchun had been connected naturally by the image of 'Phoenix'in A Dream of Red Mansions.One was obvious, the other was implied. One was negative, the other was positive. They had the mutual contrast, staggered echo,been opposite and complementary which constituted a creative and organic combination of art mirror. Art of contrast not only makes Wang Xifeng and Jia Tangchun form the aesthetic pattern of 'Two mountain confrontation,two water diverging'but also reflects the interesting aesthetic pattern. Moreover,it played the mournful tone of the late feudal era in a polyphonic way,showing a rich and profound tragic connotation on the whole.
