摘要
《红楼梦》乃曹雪芹的"哭泣"之作,他在小说中确为"千芳一哭,万艳同悲"之女儿们的人生悲剧而哭,而且属于感情深、哭泣痛者。但曹雪芹深以为悲痛者,又远不止女儿们的人生悲剧。曹雪芹所悲者,有身世、有家国、有人类社会,其在《红楼梦》中所再现的就是这样一个人人身陷其中而又不能自拔的悲剧。曹雪芹并没有把再现如此的悲剧为小说的宗旨,而是在探寻悲剧之因和从悲剧中走出的路子。曹雪芹以女娲所炼的补天之石为小说的引子和线索,显然是有寓意的,这一寓意中更多的是积极意义的探寻。所以,曹雪芹有孔子"挽狂澜于既倒"的使命感,《红楼梦》寓有《春秋》大义。
A Dream of Red Mansions was the tear-ridden work by Cao Xueqin. He is actually weeping for the maidens' tragic life in the novel. However, Cao deems that the sorrow not only comes from the girls' tragedy of life but also involves his personal tragedy, family tragedy, national tragedy and human tragedy. A Dream of Red Mansions discloses the tragedy that everyone is hopelessly trapped in. He does not simply focus on the tragedy; instead, he tries to find out the reason of the tragedy and the way out of the tragedy. It is obviously allegorical that he uses the stow of Nu Wa repairing the sky as the beginning and clue, which should be more positive explorations. Therefore, Cao has the same sense of mission of saving the day as Confucius. A Dream of Red Mansions implies the principles of right and wrong.
