The reason why the Dream of the Red Chamber has been sought after and loved by people from the day of its birth is because of his super literary and ideological nature, especially in the era when the status of the novel is still very humble, it is not easy for Cao Xueqin to write this book with the greatest effort and talent.
No matter how much criticism there is now for the red academic circles, everyone's original intention must have been to seriously study it at first because they liked this book, which is the original intention of all people who like the dream of the Red Chamber.
As a novel, The Dream of the Red Chamber has created many things, one of the most incredible things is that as a novel, it actually writes out the fate of all people at the beginning of the book, which is very rare in the world.
Because one of the characteristics of novels is to attract readers, especially this kind of grand novel, through the promotion of the plot, so that readers have an interest in reading.
However, not long after the opening, the Dream of the Red Chamber completely wrote out the fate of all the characters in it, which is that Jia Baoyu entered the illusory realm after getting drunk, where the author interpreted the fate of everyone with sentences and songs.
So why did the author write this, this is actually the author's cleverness, because when everyone first reads this, they feel the same as Jia Baoyu, and you don't understand what these contents say.
Because everything has not yet happened, but you say that everything that is about to happen is empty and will eventually be disillusioned, this kind of statement, no one will believe it if you tell it to anyone.
Only when you have experienced prosperity and experienced life and death can you understand the mystery of all this and understand what is in front of you, but it is just a mirror and a flower, and it is not worth nostalgia. Don't say that Jia Baoyu doesn't understand, and all readers don't understand, because the content behind it has not yet been read, and I don't know the tragic fate of the daughters in the back.
This is actually more attractive to the reader than relying on suspense, because at the beginning, you can't understand, looking at it seems to slowly understand something, how to feel that the fate of this character is not set.
So I will go back to look at those sentences, and the drama will understand a lot in my heart, when you watch one, you can't help but look at the second one, and after watching it, you pat your thigh and say, It turned out to be so, how did you not find it before.
This is actually a very superb literary technique, at least let people read the book twice, because after reading it, they find that the front seems to have told the fate of the characters, so they look at the front.
After reading it, it seems that some of them are not right, some are missing, and in the process of continuous adjustment and proofreading, in fact, the love for the Dream of the Red Chamber is deepening.
Many novels retain a mystery of the final result, but the dream of the Red Chamber does not need it, because his ending is the ethereal spirit after the fusion of truth, goodness and beauty, since it is empty, it tells you what is the harm, the key is that you can understand a few points.
The top novels, completely do not rely on suspense, rely on thinking after knowing the answer, rely on repeated reading of details, these are the signs of good novels.
For example, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", everyone knows the ending early, but there will still be so many people who like this novel, because he wrote well, wrote the process of hegemony with waves and grandeur, and wrote the struggle process of Liu Huang's uncle Kuang Fu Han Room.
You know that the dream of the Red Chamber also has those unique expression methods, welcome to leave a message to communicate.
