"A Dream of Red Mansions" between the words: the codes of writing, eloquence and finance hidden under the prosperity and obsession
When I open "Dream of Red Mansions", I see the brilliant purples and reds of the Grand View Garden in front of me, the endless love between Bao and Dai, and the ups and downs of Rong Ning's two mansions from the burning oil cooking to the trees falling and the hozens scattered. But when we look through the excitement and desolation on the surface and look between the lines, how many unsolved mysteries are hidden in those unexplored foreshadowings, unexplored human hearts, and unexplained fates?
This article breaks away from the traditional interpretation of plot and emotion, and re-analyzes the deep logic behind this classic from three perspectives: the exquisiteness of writing, the confrontation of characters' eloquence, and the gains and losses of family finances, and explores the survival wisdom and metaphors of the times hidden under the prosperous surface.
