As a classic masterpiece, the dream of the Red Chamber has an unprecedented status in the history of Chinese literature, but any great work is not isolated, but grows up little by little on the basis of absorbing the essence of its predecessors. So Dream of the Red Chamber, what works are it influenced by?
First, it was influenced by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. On the surface, this seems to be incompatible, but Cao Gong's description of Wang Xifeng seems to draw such a conclusion: from Wang Xifeng's appearance spicy to see her spicy personality; from Wang Xifeng's spicy clothing to see her greedy, tacky; from Wang Xifeng's appearance to see her treacherous, cold, scheming, good at greeting; from her language spicy to see her smooth, sophisticated, shrewd, capable, sharp and hidden. No wonder some people call Wang Xifeng a female Cao Cao who is "a capable minister who governs the world and a traitor to a chaotic world", and some people call her "Rouge Tiger" female Cao Cao.
Second, it is influenced by the Water Margin. For example, the twenty-fourth time Ni Er drunkenly met Jia Yun, there is indeed the color of Yang Zhi selling knives and encountering Pi Niu Er.
Third, it was influenced by Journey to the West. For example, the beginning of the Dream of the Red Chamber says that the Heavenly Stone is twelve zhang high and the square is twenty-four zhang, with a total of 36,501 pieces, the original December, the twenty-four solar terms, and the Sunday three hundred and sixty-five. This is similar to the first time in the Journey to the West that the characteristics of the Flower and Fruit Mountain Senshi are similar.
Fourth, it is influenced by the golden bottle plum. The concept of "color" and "emptiness" in the Dream of the Red Chamber is obviously affected by the shadow of Jin Pingmei; Qin Keqing's coffin is very similar to the death of Li Zhen'er.
Fifth, it was played by the west chamber. The talented and beautiful man of the Dream of the Red Chamber is similar to Zhang Sheng Cui Yingying of the West Chamber, especially the protagonist of the book, Lin Daiyu Jia Baoyu, is even more in love with the West Chamber, and the West Chamber is also deeply rooted in the bone marrow of both, "The West Chamber": When Zhang Sheng first saw Cui Yingying, he was touched by the beauty of the young lady, and the inner monologue said: "The boy is sentimental and sick, how can he fall for the country and fall into the city." The previous sentence refers to Zhang Sheng, and the latter sentence is Cui Yingying. In "Dream of the Red Chamber", Jia Baoyu borrowed to refer to himself and Lin Daiyu. Dai Yu is the warbler who has fallen in love with the appearance of the country, and he himself is Zhang Sheng, who is sick for lovesickness. Express your feelings in this way.
Sixth, it is influenced by classical Chinese poetry. For example, the origin of the name of the flower raider, "the flower qi attacks the people to know the sudden warmth, and the magpie sound through the tree to celebrate the new sun" is two sentences in the Southern Song Dynasty poet Lu You's "Village Residence Book". Note that the flowers on the Dream of the Red Chamber book are actually misused, but this can show the flattery of the attackers; in addition, the sixty-third birthday of Jia Baoyu, Yihong Courtyard a night of revelry, Jia Baoyu invited the Grand View Garden Qunfang, drinking and poetry. The unsociable Miao Yu also sent a prayer post, congratulating the birthday, but Qingwen thought that it was an irrelevant person who wrote something, there was no notification, the next day, Bao Yu saw it, felt that it was a beautiful person, hurriedly wrote back to the post, only to find that Miao Yu's prayer post signature called himself an outsider, did not know what kind of name to use to answer, and Miao Yu befriended Xing Xianyan told him that Miao Yu's favorite poem is that even if there is a thousand-year iron threshold, there must be a steamed bun, so he gave him the idea that he could use the threshold to answer.
It can be seen that the birth of any great work is not born out of thin air, but is deeply rooted in the soil of national culture, and even works such as dream of the Red Chamber have inherited the excellent cultural heritage of their predecessors and gradually carried forward. It's just that Cao Gong is doing better in this regard.
