A Dream of Red Mansions embodies the author's humanistic concern for marginal people and small people. What is a marginal person? In fact, those who were born in Jia Yucun's theory of good and evil, such as those who were separated from the secular value system by Ruan Ji in Song Huizong, Li Houzhu, said that the simple secular value system is a good word, and Sima Qian put it well, "All the bustling places in the world are for profit, and all the Ran Ran in the world are for profit." How many people die for the benefit, cry for the benefit, and have no conscience for the benefit. But there are some people in the world who are anti-traditional. They don't care about gold and silver jewelry, but only care about beautiful scenery, mountains, rivers, flowers and birds. Specifically, Baoyu, the protagonist of this book, is a villain who opposes the secular official career economy and hates changing for profit. He loves the beauty of nature, likes flowers, birds, insects and fish, and especially likes the clean and pure soul of an inexperienced girl. He is worthless in the secular world. He can neither make money nor be an official. If you are such a person in modern society, no one will agree with you. Little people are easy to understand. Little people have their sadness and their indifference to numbness, but Cao Xueqin still sympathizes with them. Some of the marginal people in his works are also small people, and some are not. In fact, he established his own unique value system under the secular value system, that is, love education, love is a verb, that is, love others, love who? Affectionate people love affectionate people. He opposes the destruction and torture of human nature by the secular world, and sympathizes with those who are tortured to pieces or even killed by the secular world. At the end of the novel, he described a group of lovely girls who died one by one. The so-called "white and clean" is the strongest accusation against this feudal ethics that destroys human nature and suppresses personality. He also set up a wonderful jade, Qingwen, Baoyu and Daiyu, including Baochai and other figures, who resisted this ethical code in different ways. Of course, this is not the whole story of A Dream of Red Mansions, but it is enough to be the greatest novel in China's history, what's more, it is far richer than this. In addition to expressing his feelings and concerns, he also comprehensively described the living conditions and thoughts of all social strata at that time, as well as the contribution of his poems to the poems of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, A Dream of Red Mansions is a novel with unprecedented depth and breadth. The gap between the other three of the four classic novels and him is really not a little bit. Even I think he is the first novel in the world, and everyone can find their favorite place in it. For example, for ordinary people like you and me, A Dream of Red Mansions shows more concern for the little people than any other novel.
