A Dream of Red Mansions was written by Cao Xueqin with his life's blood and tears. Zhi Yanzhai said, "On New Year's Eve, Qin died in tears before the book was finished." Cao Xueqin also said: "The paper is full of absurd things and a pair of sad tears. Dou Yun's author is stupid, who can solve the taste! " (The first time in A Dream of Red Mansions) Obviously, the theme package of A Dream of Red Mansions contains profound meanings and is by no means simple and solvable.
How many characters did A Dream of Red Mansions write? During Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, there were 448 people in Jiang Qi.
In the early years of the Republic of China, Lan Shangxing compiled The Biography of a Dream of Red Mansions, and received 72 1 person with different biographies. The book also included 23 ancient emperors, 1 15 ancient people, 18 empresses, 22 women, 24 fairies and 47 gods. * * A total of 983 people were received.
Although A Dream of Red Mansions has rich humanistic connotation, poetic artistic situation and even complicated ideological significance, and its cultural aesthetic value is indeed higher than Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, The Journey to the West and Jin Ping Mei, it is still a novel and an object that ordinary literati can talk about at will. The new Dream of Red Mansions initiated by Hu Shi requires historical textual research on everything related to novels, while topics such as Cao Jiazhen, the first eighty chapters, the last forty chapters, and the fat review are quite professional topics, which are not easily accessible to any scholar. The new redology promoted the status and level of redology, but it also made redology more and more elite. In any case, A Dream of Red Mansions is just a professional academic, which is easy to talk about but not easy to study. However, 49 years later, A Dream of Red Mansions is almost a household name in China. At one time, many amateur red scientists and "red scientists of workers, peasants and soldiers" appeared.
Harmony between A Dream of Red Mansions and the 20th century is not an ordinary conjunction, because A Dream of Red Mansions is not an ordinary study and comment on A Dream of Red Mansions, but a "study" constructed in the special social and cultural atmosphere of China in the 20th century. /kloc-not only did A Dream of Red Mansions not exist in the 0/9th century, but the study of A Dream of Red Mansions in the 2/kloc-0th century will not be a Dream of Red Mansions in the 20th century.
19 19 The May 4th Movement was the beginning of the 20th century in China. In the past 80 years, the interpretation of the May 4th Movement has made its original multi-voice ambiguity and subtle concealment more and more clear. But in any case, "science" and "democracy", as the public flags and practical themes of the May Fourth Movement, have been fully affirmed so far. Of course, the fate of the two themes is different. Simply put, science has made great strides, and democracy still needs efforts. The twists and turns of democracy are undoubtedly due to overwhelming political struggles.
Brief introduction of The Journey to the West
Among China's classical novels, The Journey to the West, Water Margin, Jin Ping Mei and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which have been circulated among the people for a long time, are well-known masterpieces. The Journey to the West is the crystallization of myths, fables and comic novels. Its story is mainly about a group of anthropomorphic animals, escorting a monk to West India to learn Buddhist scriptures, and it also brings some fairy tale interest. These animals, all fairy fetuses with magical power, are playing with gods and demons in order to escort Buddhist scriptures.
The fantasy world created by the author Wu Cheng'en is absurd and vivid, implying different faces of human nature. The Monkey King, originally a stone monkey, has the dexterity and nifty of a monkey, and is good at subduing demons, while Pig Bajie has the heavy and unswerving character symbol of a pig, often making a fool of himself and making a lot of jokes.
Because people who want to learn Buddhism have to go through 8 1 difficulties and overcome the challenges of cattle, spider essence and white one by one in order to complete the task of learning Buddhism, which also symbolizes that everyone will encounter all kinds of difficulties and challenges in the pursuit of ideals. Journey to the West can be loved by ancient and modern readers, mainly because of the success of role-building. Readers can not only enjoy comedy, but also have a deep understanding of human nature and life.
On the surface, Journey to the West is a funny novel, a supernatural novel. Most readers think that the purpose of the author's writing is just to make you laugh, but in fact, the motivation and purpose of the author's writing are definitely not like this. Some people think that The Journey to the West is a religious novel that expounds Buddhism, which cannot be completely summarized. Journey to the West should be a profound satire novel. We should look at it from the perspective of literature, politics or sociology in order to understand the true meaning and literary value of this book.
To understand a literary work, it is best to understand it from the author's life and background. Wu Cheng'en, the author of The Journey to the West, is a well-read and talented person. However, his life experience is not good. At that time, the society was corrupt, and he wanted to take bribes in the exam. Because he had no money to bribe the scholar, he failed the exam and worked as a scholar until he was in his forties.
Regarding the historical background of Journey to the West, we might as well look at the official records of Tang Priest. There was a master Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty, that is, Master Sanzang. He once crossed the desert and went to West India to learn from the scriptures. At that time, it lasted 19 years, and more than 600 Buddhist scriptures were brought back to China, which was the backbone of The Journey to the West's story. Of course, Tang Sanzang, the protagonist in The Journey to the West, is also a figure created by the author to cater to the folk psychology, and it is difficult to be associated with the great achievements of Master Xuanzang in the official history.
Tang Sanzang
Because although Tang Sanzang is a master whose duty is to learn from the scriptures in his book, in fact, he is weak in personality, hypocritical and afraid of death, and lacks transcendental understanding. Although he is kind, he can't tell right from wrong. Instead, I often listen to Zhu Bajie's provocation and misunderstand the Monkey King who can see through evil tricks. Keep shouting "Wukong, help me!" After falling into a trap. 」。
In fact, the image of Tang Priest can be said to coincide with the legendary white-faced scholar. Although full of idealism, but helpless, when difficulties occur, always helpless, waiting for foreign aid. And his pedantry and ignorance of the truth seem to show the author's insinuation of politicians' incompetence. However, no matter from the perspective of religion or personal cultivation, Tang Sanzang is not a holy monk, but an ordinary person.
Sun Wukong
So the soul of Journey to the West should be the Monkey King. The Monkey King was originally a lingshi on the fairy mountain, and turned into a monkey. Because of his courage, he was elected king by the monkeys. But one day he suddenly realized that life was limited. Although the Monkey King lived a happy life in water curtain cave, he could not live forever. So he left everything behind and left home to learn how to become an immortal, hence the name "Monkey King".
The Monkey King is smart, quick-thinking and quick-acting. He learned high-powered magic, and he can change seventy-two things in one breath. He also has a magic weapon, the golden hoop stick, which can be turned into a needle and enlarged into a copper stick, as well as a somersault cloud. Wukong is still a monkey. He is clever and naughty, and likes playing pranks. He deliberately asked Pig Bajie to patrol the mountains and explore the road, but he became a bug and secretly looked at the lazy Pig Bajie. It can be seen that he is thoughtful and mischievous.
The Monkey King was fearless, so he dared to make trouble with the Sea Dragon King, the underworld and the Heavenly Palace, and even made a bet with the Buddha. This shows his rebellious, unwilling to be bound and unconventional character. Abundant vitality, fearless spirit, upright character and optimistic character make him fearless and brave to face challenges. His spirit of taking risks and making trouble fully shows the characteristics of a hero. But competitive, arrogant and impatient are his weaknesses.
Zhu Bajie
On the other hand, although Pig Bajie, who represents pleasure, also has magic power, it can only change 36 times. Compared with Wukong, he is stupid and heavy, so he is often teased by Wukong. So I often play tricks on Wukong in the Tang priest's ear, which makes Wukong very painful.
Bajie is characterized by gluttony and laziness, and attaches importance to material enjoyment. Quit the team when you encounter difficulties, and you can't persist. He was lured by beautiful women and gold and silver during his journey, and almost left others behind, interrupting his own path of practice. I didn't expect the incarnation of the Bodhisattva to test him. These gaffes are not criticism in Wu Cheng'en's works, but humor and satire. Pig Bajie also made a fool of himself again and again, giving readers a reflection on human greed.
Sha Gojeyo
Another disciple, Sha Wujing, has less pen and ink, but shows a resolute, wooden, silent and down-to-earth character.
Mr. Compass (writer):
There really was a great monk in history who went to India to learn from the scriptures. But the Tang Priest on Journey to the West is by no means equal to the real Tang Priest. The real Tang Priest is not only good at learning, but also has great perseverance and courage. When he is in trouble, he is not afraid to back down, and he is committed to getting the truth. But in The Journey to the West, Tang Sanzang was timid and cowardly, and even fell off his horse. Journey to the West, a small group, actually represents a kingdom. Tang Sanzang represents a timid, weak, ignorant, disloyal and treacherous bad king.
The theme of Journey to the West is actually to cultivate the mind, because the process of learning from the West is not only a symbol of the process of constantly correcting our personality defects. And all kinds of monsters in the story are actually the embodiment of human desire. Greed, laziness, weakness and even ignorance are actually some characteristics that human beings have always needed to correct.
Similarly, kindness, simplicity and courage are also treasures of human nature. These characteristics are shown by the characters in the story and the fighting with ghosts and gods. The story tells us that life needs exercise, so as to achieve the true state of truth, goodness and beauty. Tess of the d 'Urbervilles
Thomas Hardy
Tess of the D 'Urbervilles is the masterpiece of Thomas Hardy, a famous English novelist and poet (1840- 1928). Hardy was an architect when he was young and later became a professional writer. He has lived in the country for most of his life. His novels are all about the countryside, and the general title is Wessex, which is the ancient name of his hometown.
This novel describes the tragic experience of an insulted country girl Tess. Tess is a simple girl. She wants to make a living by her own hands and pursue her personal right to be at least happy. However, the powerful forces of society did not even spare such a weak woman, which eventually led to her tragedy. The novel has a strong tendency of anti-religion, anti-feudal morality and anti-bourgeois law. Although it was opposed by the British upper class at that time, it was loved by readers. Once published, it was quickly translated into many languages, and the novel was put on the screen many times, which brought Hardy a world reputation.
The d 'Urbervilles live in the beautiful and peaceful Brey Valley surrounded by mountains. Their family is poor. Old Deby is a rural peddler, doing some small business. A family of nine people eked out a living by farming with an old horse. One evening at the end of May, on the way to Mahler Village, Pastor Chong Gan told Debye a useless piece of news. He verified that Debei was originally a direct descendant of the local ancient warrior family D 'Urbervilles. Durbeyfield is lazy and likes to drink. He was as drunk as a fiddler that night when he learned that he was born into a noble family.
Because her father was drunk and couldn't deliver the goods, Debbie 17-year-old daughter Tess bravely shouldered the burden of selling beehives for her father. Who knows that on the way to the fair, the carriage she was driving collided with the mail car, and the old horse was killed, leaving the family without a source of livelihood.
Tess felt pain and shame for it. In order to help her family get rid of the difficulties in life, she obeyed her mother's arrangement and went to Chunruiji to meet a rich old lady of the D 'Urbervilles. Mr d 'Urberville is a businessman in the north of England. When he became rich, he was bent on settling down in the south of England and becoming a squire. So he chose an old surname "d 'Urberville" from the museum and pretended to be a gentleman. Tess and her parents know nothing about these situations.
Mrs d 'Urberville is an eccentric blind old woman. Her son Alei is a playboy in his twenties. As soon as he saw the beautiful Tess, he made up his mind to possess her. He asked Tess to raise chickens in his chicken farm. Tess raised chickens in Chunrui Ridge, which was completely promoted by Alec. Full of doubts, she refused his Duan Qin everywhere, but could not avoid him.
On a Saturday night in September, Tess and her companions returned to the village after finishing the collection. A group of drunken women abused Tess wantonly. Tess was ashamed and annoyed and wanted to leave the group as soon as possible. Alec, who was far behind, rode forward and asked Tess to get on the horse and leave. She got on Alec's horse without thinking. They rode for a while, and Alec had led the horse to a fork far away from Chunrui Ridge.
At midnight 1 point, when Tess found out, they had arrived at a very old forest paddock in England. It was dark and foggy in the Woods, and she couldn't tell the direction from the road. Tess was very scared. She wanted to walk back alone, but it was impossible. Tess is sitting on a pile of leaves and Alec is going to show the way. When he came back in the dark, he tripped over something. This fuzzy gray is Tess lying on a dry white leaf. Alec leaned down and his face touched hers. She is sleeping soundly, and the tears on her eyelashes are still wet. Darkness and silence enveloped the surroundings. ...
Tess was angry and hated. A month later, she left Chunrui with a heavy basket and walked home along the mountain road. When Tess came home, she told her mother this terrible thing. The only thing that makes her sad is that Alec is not going to marry her. Tess wants to cry. Soon the news about Tess spread around the village, and she was laughed at and talked about behind her back. She hid at home and was afraid to go out. To make matters worse, Tess found that terrible changes had taken place in her body. Soon, a little life came to her side, but before long, the child died, too.
Now, she clearly realizes that the road ahead is long and bumpy, and she has to trudge alone without sympathy and help. Thought of here, she was so depressed that she couldn't wait for a grave to appear in front of her eyes and plunge herself into it. She often asks herself, is a woman's chastity really gone forever? All living things have the ability to return to their original state. Why can't you break your virginity alone? She decided to leave her suffocating hometown because she knew her past and started her new life in a strange place.
Another spring came, and Tess left home for the second time to work as a milkmaid in Tabley dairy. The scenery here is picturesque and Tess is in a very happy mood. Here, she met a young man, Angie Clay. Clay is the son of a low-sect priest. He doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps, but wants to become a local farmer. He studied milking techniques in a dairy farm, and found that Tess, who was quiet, was different from other country girls and fell in love with her soon. He thinks Tess is a beautiful and naive girl, and thinks that only she is the most perfect, so he pays attention to her and approaches her.
They meet constantly, always in the hazy morning light, violet or pink dawn every day. Because milking requires getting up early, they are almost always the first to get up. When they came outside, the open grassland was in a state of isolation, and Guang Xiao was mixed with fog, which made them feel deeply isolated, as if they were Adam and Eve.
In the working life of * * *, they gradually developed a love affair, which gradually became hot. Clay's love for Tess changed his view of life. He wants to give up the right marriage arranged by his family and marry Tess, a natural daughter with a poetic mind. Although Tess loves Clay very much, the shame of losing her virginity in the past has overwhelmed her and made her feel very painful. She tried to tell Clay about the past several times, but the words came to her lips and she swallowed them back.
Tess was carrying a heavy cross on her back. She thought it was cheating for him not to tell Clay about her past. So, a few days before her wedding, she got up the courage to write and explain the past to Clay. She slipped the letter to Clemens and let him decide for himself. But the letter was tucked under the carpet and Clay didn't see it. On the wedding day, Tess found the letter under the carpet, destroyed it in disappointment and decided to tell her husband that night.
On their wedding night, they came to the rented new house, which was the mansion of Tess's ancestors. Before Tess told Clay about her past, Clay told a story about him. He once lived a dissolute life in London for 48 hours with an unknown woman. As soon as Clay said he had a sin to confess to Tess, Tess forgave him at once. After hearing Clay's story, she felt an indescribable lightness and joy, and felt that her sin was no greater than her husband's.
But never imagined that when Tess told her what had happened, Clay didn't forgive her. He opposed her mercilessly and laughed at Tess as a descendant of a fallen aristocrat, a country woman who didn't know what a decent woman was. No matter how much Tess begged, he was indifferent. Claiborne is a typical figure of this era in recent 25 years, with advanced thoughts and good heart. Although he tries his best to judge things from an independent point of view, once things go wrong, he is still a slave to stereotypes and customs. He abandoned Tess and went to Brazil alone.
Tess fell into loneliness. She silently endured and waited, hoping to get back together with Clay one day. In order to preserve Clay's reputation, she didn't want to tell her parents about her husband's departure after returning home, and she also concealed her identity as Mrs Clay. She subsidized all the living expenses left by Clay to her family. She had no life, wandered around and worked as a short-term worker.
In winter, Tess walks alone on her way to the plateau farm. She was dressed in women's clothes, half of her face was wrapped in a handkerchief, and her eyebrows had been pulled out. Passers-by can't help but get a fright when they see her appearance. Tess said to herself with tears in her eyes, "From now on, I will always dress up ugly, because Clay is not in front of me and there is no one to protect me. I only love him and I want other men to look down on me. " She went to work in Lenghuai, suffered from supercilious look and bullying, and was sent to other places by her employer to do rough work and heavy work for men. She kept feeding bundles of wheat in front of the fast thresher, and she was so tired that she couldn't breathe, but she still endured and waited for news from Clay, hoping to get back together one day.
A year later, on February 30, 65438, Tess heard a missionary bullying her. The missionary was Alec D 'Urberville. Alec was full of foul language four years ago, but now he is benevolent and moral, which makes Tess feel sick. When Alec met Tess, he dropped all his preaching and teaching and went to the farm to pester her. Tess slapped him angrily with leather gloves. But Alec doesn't want to rest. He threatened fiercely: "remember, wife, you haven't escaped from my palm before, and you still can't escape from my palm this time." As long as you are a wife, you have to be my wife! "
Tess couldn't stand the double oppression of heavy physical labor and Alec's endless pestering and threats, so she wrote a sincere long letter to Clay and begged him to save her from her suffering. At the same time, Tess's girlfriend, who works with her, also wrote a letter to Clay, hoping that he would come back to protect his wife.
Clay, who was far away in Brazil, suffered a lot, suffered from fever, and his ideal of farming was shattered. He also began to regret the past and realized that his behavior towards Tess was unfair and cruel. Although Tess's chastity has been defiled in the past, her character is noble. Clay realized his mistake, so he returned to England from Brazil to look for his wife, determined to get back together with her, but when he found Tess in the apartment by the sea, it was too late.
It turned out that Tess couldn't wait for Clay's reply after her father died. In order to get rid of the plight that her mother and five brothers and sisters have nowhere to live and no financial resources, she lives with Alec again. Seeing this, Clay left sadly.
Clay's return brought great pain to Tess. She felt that Alec had ruined her whole life. In desperation, she killed Alec with a knife and caught up with the departed Clay. The two men avoided the main road and the pursuit, and spent the happiest days after marriage in an empty house in the wilderness. Later, they came to the pagan altar with stone pillars. Tired Tess lay on the altar and told Clay that she hoped he could marry her sister Lisa after her death.
The police chasing them found them a few days later. Tess didn't panic when she saw these strangers, because she expected it. She stood up, shook off the dirt, and said quietly to those people, "I'm finished." Let's go. " At dawn, Tess walked peacefully to the execution ground under the escort of the police. Clay followed Tess's instructions and started a new life with Tess's sister.
Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre 1847 is a novel with strong autobiographical elements. Although the story in the book is fictional, the life, environment and even many details of the heroine and many other characters are taken from the real experience of the author and the people around her. The author Charlotte Brontexq was born in a pastor's family in the north of England. When Charlotte was eight years old, her mother died young and she was sent to a boarding school. The living conditions there are extremely bad, and both her sisters died of lung disease. So Charlotte and her sister Emily returned to their hometown and spent their childhood in the desolate Yorkshire mountains. /kloc-At the age of 0/5, she entered the school run by Miss Wooler and worked as a teacher in this school a few years later. Later, she became a governess, but because she couldn't stand the discrimination and meanness of Miss Guo, she gave up her job as a governess. She had planned to start her own school, so she went to Italy with Emily and studied French and German with the help of her aunt. However, because no one came to study, the school failed. However, her experience of studying in Italy stimulated her strong desire to express herself and urged her to devote herself to the road of literary creation.
Jane Eyre, written in 1846, is Charlotte's second novel. She expressed her feelings with the struggle experience of a young woman of humble origin, which deeply touched the readers at that time. This novel was published in the autumn of 1847 under the pseudonym of Kohler Bell, and was reprinted twice the following year. This little-known writer Charlotte Brontexq thus entered the ranks of famous British novelists.
The uniqueness of Jane Eyre lies not only in the authenticity and strong appeal of the novel, but also in the fact that the novel has created an independent and enterprising female image that is not subject to secular pressure. The love story of Jane Eyre to Rochester in the novel vividly shows her fiery passion and sincere heart, and strongly reveals her love view. She despised the arrogance of powerful people, laughed at their stupidity, and showed independent personality and beautiful ideals. She boldly loved what she loved, but when she found that the person she loved still had a wife, she resolutely left the person and place she missed. The idea expressed in the novel, that is, women are unwilling to be assigned their position by society and demand independence and equality in work and even marriage, was extraordinary at that time and was also a great shock to the British literary world. At the fictional end of the novel, Jane Eyre gets a legacy and returns to the lonely and helpless Rochester. Although this plot is worthy of scrutiny, it reveals the author's ideal-women's independence and equality in economy, social status and family, and their unswerving loyalty to love.
Charlotte's writing style is also unique. Her writing is concise and vivid, simple and vivid, and the first-person narrative language makes the novel close to readers and reality. At the same time, the novel embodies the characteristics of European romantic literary tradition, and shows the author's rich imagination and poetic temperament. The author naturally uses dreams, hallucinations, premonitions, symbols and metaphors in his narration, which makes the "natural" realm of the novel hazy and wonderful.
In today's literary world, some people criticize novels for lacking a more rational and profound analysis of social reality. In the description of crazy women, excessive pursuit of the mysterious atmosphere of "Gothic novels" weakens the authenticity of expressing reality. In the description of Reverend St. John, he beautified his dedication to Christian missionary work, but concealed the nature of colonial cultural aggression. The reasons for these limitations in the novel are very complicated, some are limited by the author's own experience, some are due to the formal characteristics of the work itself, and some are due to historical limitations. In a word, the influence of Jane Eyre has been enduring for more than one hundred years, and the enthusiasm of writers and critics for it has failed. It is still a favorite book for readers. Hamlet
Prince Hamlet of Denmark studied at Wittenberg University, a German humanities center. His uncle Claudius poisoned old Hamlet, usurped the throne and married his sister-in-law. When Hamlet returned to China, his father's ghost told him the cause of death. He obeyed the ghost's instructions and decided to take revenge. At the same time, the king began to doubt Hamlet. At Polonius's suggestion, the minister used his daughter, Mr. filia, Hamlet's lover, to test him, and instructed two of Hamlet's classmates, Rosen Glanz and Gierden, to test him, all of which were discovered by him. Hamlet took advantage of the performance of a troupe in the court to confirm the ghost's words and was determined to act. He persuaded his mother to alienate the king and killed Polonius as the king. The king sent Hamlet and two classmates to England to ask for tribute, hoping to get rid of Hamlet by the king of England. Hamlet discovered the plot, revised the imperial edict halfway and returned to Denmark. At this time, Mr. filia committed suicide because his father was killed by his lover. The king took the opportunity to provoke Leontes, the son of Polonius, and stabbed Hamlet to death with a poisonous sword in the name of Bijian. In the final sword fight, Hamlet, the king, the queen and Laetis died together.

Platform for action
In the foothills of northern England, there is an almost isolated Wuthering Heights. One day, the owner Earnshaw brought back an abandoned child from the street and adopted him as an adopted son, named Heathcliff, to let him and his son.
