Chapter 8 The first floor "Red Mansion" culture (5)

When it comes to operas, in the heyday of the Yuan Dynasty, the diversity and multi-facetedness of all characters and society is the most amazing. Heroes, girls, loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, everything is omnipresent. The word is used as the heading, but it is summarized in the first song. Chang said that the touching of all stories is always in one "love". This is another "breakthrough" type of categorical truth, which has affected. So, what are the similarities and differences? There is no doubt that it was inspired by others; but it has "accepted" all the "feelings"—from "The Sage's Affection" to all the "feelings" of Song Yu, Cao Zijian, Wang Shifu, Feng Menglong, etc. "The word was expanded and improved, and finally the four characters "the main purpose of talking about love" were written.

This "general purpose" has never existed before, surpassing Hong Gong.This aspect is a true core of Chinese culture - because it is more noble and broad than Confucianism of benevolence, righteousness and morality. Confucianism does not dare to talk too much about "love", and wraps people's true feelings in the "clothing" box of ethics and social interpersonal relationships, while Cao Xueqin "releases" this "love" from that box, and endows With a newer, higher, and greater spiritual and cultural meaning and capacity, it is more true, better, and more beautiful than that.

The "feeling" in life is no longer just "interpersonal relationship". Truth, goodness and beauty, this slogan-style ideal standard has long been prevalent in the world, but in the Qianlong era, there was no such formulation.So, is it reasonable to say that Cao Xueqin advocated "truth, goodness and beauty" at that time?What is the proof? Let's talk about "certification" first. Once you have the certificate, you will naturally "pass" and there is no need to argue. The book "Red Mansion", from the opening to the fifth chapter, raises the question of "truth". Before that, the standard of goodness and beauty was first proposed.All three are found in the book, not to search for comparisons from outside.

In the fifth chapter, I wrote the couplet of "Too Illusory Realm", and immediately expressed the wonderful truth and emotional words of "when the fake is real, the real is also fake".He said that in the world, there is often no distinction between true and false, and the false is mixed with the true, and people are willing to worship the false and abandon the true-so the true is not as good as the false, and the true is regarded as false.A comment from Zhiyan says: Three thousand fakes were sold a day, but not one real one was sold in three years. It can be seen that his emotion is deep and heavy!

Therefore, Baoyu, a misunderstood person, is based on the truth and hates fake things.It is a popular saying that he is "anti-feudal", but in fact he has never "anti" against ethics and etiquette. It is not as good as the "truth" in the play. He Jiqingwen put forward the great righteousness of "sincerity and trustworthiness" in his special pen. How could he oppose "feudal morality"?He said that if there is a sincere condolence, only a glass of water is offered, and a sincere appeal is made, and the sacrificed person will come to enjoy it. ——Oh, isn't this "superstition"!

Alas!How do people understand Jia Baoyu (or Cao Xueqin who wrote him)? He meant that the worldly morality and benevolence and righteousness have no real meaning, but they have only deteriorated and turned into a false appearance!The evidence of his admiration of the true and the evil of the false is clear. Let's talk about goodness and beauty. Not long after the book was opened, it was mentioned that "it's just a few strange women, or small talents, or slight kindness..." This is an intentional modesty.Although kindness is small, it is the foundation of temperament; although talent is small, it is also a beautiful material.

What kind of good is the ultimate good?Treating people with affection, that is, caring for others' joys and sorrows, sorrows, joys and anger with true feelings, is the greatest kindness -- not just charitable acts of helping the poor and giving clothes and rice.Because, that kind of relief measures are also true and false, some are for fame, and some are for profit. Jia Baoyu cried for Qianhong and mourned for Wanyan. This is true beauty from the bottom of her heart.A thought seems small, but the merit is great. As for beauty, that is self-explanatory.This great tragic novel itself is a tragic and mournful beauty.Write one hundred and eight daughters, heroines, heroines, beautiful hearts, talents, talents, noble characters... all of them are possessed.They are "destined" to be in a life of misfortune, passing through the gate of Qinfang, both sad and beautiful, beautiful and strong.

The combination of truth, goodness and beauty is the essence of Chinese culture and the lifeblood of national aesthetics. It is so magnificent and magnificent that it is difficult to describe it in words! At the end, I add a meaning: Jia Baoyu's true and sincere "love" is from person to thing, and treats everyone equally.His views on "equality" and "fraternity" are also different from those in the West.He regards Yueryanzi as the same kind as himself, who can empathize with him, empathize with his sad voice, and understand his feelings.He said that everything has emotion and reason, no different from people.This is the true essence of "the unity of man and nature", and this is the spiritual realm of Chinese culture that "transforms into plants and trees, depends on everything".

Chinese culture is the most important topic, how can a small article like this article do everything in one case; just because it is called a novel and it actually contains the essence of my Chinese culture, so it is briefly explained , briefly explained.It would be great if it helps to understand.
