As mentioned above, the configuration of the Grand View Garden has its own characteristics, but the courtyard where people live cannot find a mold in reality. It can only be said that Cao Xueqin has made a considerable leap in literature.
Regarding the connection of scenic spots, the description of the text expresses people's vision of walking, which is free and attractive, up and down, far and near, and really expresses the rhythm of implication and surprise. But it is also limited by the style of writing gardens. You can't tell the primary and secondary size of clear water, and you can't determine the overlap between scenery and mountains. The relationship between scenery and scenery is limited to a few wonderful examples, such as Baoyu's forty-ninth smell of incense and looking back at the red berries outside Cuian. There is no "borrowing scenery".
Qin Xue did his best to describe buildings and plants, including many residential courtyards and various scenic spots. Let's talk about the former. In order to let readers know the characters of Baoyu and Chuchai, Qin Xue tried his best to describe Hongyi Courtyard, Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Wuheng Courtyard, Qiushuangzhai and Daoxiang Village, followed by Tan Bi's Palace, Warm Xiangwu and Qingan. The principle is that "a man's house is an extension of himself" in architecture and literary theory. If you compare the internal and external design of each courtyard with the owner's mind, you can see that this statement is correct.
For example, Daiyu knows better than work in her heart. Sickness is better than illness. She is not only beautiful, but also the best woman in the world. However, she was lonely, blamed herself and shed a lot of tears. She also said with tears that Baoyu and her "wooden stone peak" had collided. The name of the "Xiaoxiang Pavilion" where she lives is not only unique enough, but also the moss path, narrow water-folded corridor and mottled bamboo shadows in the courtyard. Bamboo pole and bamboo "phoenix tail is dense, dragon tail is thin" are matched with white and green tones, and even Fei Xiangzhu, Spotted Bamboo and Daiyu love to cry. Bananas and pears in the backyard are also planted in green and white. The faint color spectrum suggests the immortal source of Daiyu vegetation. The scale of the house is "small" and "fine". The indoor desk is the visual focus. The desk is facing the moon hole window, and the round window is covered with "Bi" yarn. No wonder Zhi Yanzhai also approved: "This is really a proud home." Another example is Baochai's Yuan, who looks alike and has high intelligence. It's just that her talent is hidden under her virtue, just like her fever needs to be treated with "cold fragrant pills" In Baoyu's mind, she is "heartless and moving". Yuan is designed according to these two points. It should be located in a cold and humid place on the back of the mountain. The appearance is just a cool tile house, but the one-person courtyard has amazing creativity. There are no flowers and trees around the big and delicate rocks inserted in the sky, but there are all kinds of vanilla vines, soft and fragrant, with red dots and flowers like golden laurels. The green window in the room is covered with oil and snow, and a few chrysanthemums only use the simplest pottery bottle, which also shows Leng Xiang.
Tanchun, who is "smart and ambitious", lives in Qiushuangzhai. Although she is an unmarried woman, she can manage the Grand View Garden on behalf of Xifeng, promoting advantages and eliminating disadvantages. Later, the visit to the Grand View Garden was also ridiculed by her as a "suicide". Autumn is an "autumn study", and the phoenix tree in the backyard reinforces this meaning. The so-called "phoenix tree cutting autumn wind" and "phoenix tree easy escape" have banana in the backyard, which seems to be a symbol of talent. There are three rooms, because Tanchun is always cheerful and spacious. Rich in furnishings, there are pens, pens, eye plates and other scales on the table, and the form is generous. The misty rain picture of Xiangyang on the wall and the couplet inscribed by Yan Zhenqing, "The misty clouds are free and easy, and the spring is wild", have aroused Tan Chun's interest.
In addition, Daoxiang Village is for Li Wan, and the "Cloud Crossing Gate" and "Flower Moon Gate" in Warm Xiangwu are for Xichun, and more than a dozen branches of flowers, to the Zen Temple and red berries outside the temple are for Miaoyu, all of which have their own unique designs.
As for Jia Baoyu's residence "Hongyiyuan", it was crowned with colorful colors, and Qin Xue was even more meticulous. In front of the People's Hospital, "white walls and green willows surround" and "looking at Wan Xiu Bamboo from afar" refers to Daiyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion. After admission. Baoyu's idea of "beauty at the same time" was transformed into several plantains and Xifu begonia, which were planted side by side, symbolizing the confrontation between Chai and Dai. Baoyu's poem "Red Fragrance and Green Jade", Jia Fei's poem "Hong Yi Kuai Green" and Baoyu's poem "Every couple has a beautiful life when they go out" all have the same meaning. A few rocks in the courtyard, together with cranes and rare birds hanging on the cloister, add femininity and wealth. The multi-layer partitions, furnishings, mirrors, bed curtains and floor tiles in the house are also carved green, showing the same weather. Grandma Liu also thought she had entered the "embroidery room". Among them, the big mirror was once a dream prop for Jia and Zhen Baoyu. Re-emphasized the difference between true and false. The inexplicable multi-layer shelf, coupled with the twists and turns and flower barriers in the backyard outside the courtyard, symbolizes Baoyu's abandonment of the world and talent. In fact, it has its own "investment is the Tao."
In the novel, Qin Xue also described many scenic spots, and combined them with special events, seasons, hours and people to show the harmonious beauty of landscape writing literature, which is an indispensable fragment of the novel plot.
At the end of the 27th Spring Festival and the beginning of summer, flowers and girls, sedan-chair horses made of petals and willow branches, or dry buildings made of twill and brocade yarns are all tied up with colored threads ... Embroidery belts are dancing all over the garden, and flowers are dancing ... "At this time, Baochai is holding a round fan and throwing butterflies all the way into the pool." The pavilion was "surrounded by corridors and curved bridges ... carved with paper on all sides ..." and never appeared in the novel again.
The first banquet of the 38th Haitang Poetry Society was held on the Champs Elysé es, which was in autumn and the water chestnut lotus root was mature, hence the name of this pavilion. The pavilion is spacious, and you can enjoy the osmanthus flowers on the nearby hillside, and you can also eat crabs and make chrysanthemum poems, which are full of paper and autumn.
During the forty-ninth and fifty-second sessions, all twelve golden hairpin stayed in the garden, which was the climax of viewing the Grand View Garden. One night in early winter, the north wind was tight and there was a heavy snowfall. The second poetry meeting of Haitang Poetry Society was held in Xue Lu Temple. Snow-white reeds surrounded several huts near the pool with earth walls and bamboo fences, and the indoor kang was warm and dry, just for everyone to open seats, and then went to Miaoyu in Cui Temple to beg for red berries, enjoy flowers and recite poems.
On the sixty-second occasion, there appeared the Red Fragrant Shop and the Nursery Hall, and Baoyu and Pinger held separate banquets to celebrate their birthdays. At this time, it was early summer, peony flowers were in full bloom around Hongxiang Garden, and the girls wore red and green, which set off a festive and lively atmosphere. Sure enough, Pinger was too hot, and the next day's invitation banquet went to the elm shade hall, which was shaded by the sun.
75, 76 Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, led to the Tubi Mountain Villa and Concave Crystal Pavilion two scenes. Xueqin uses Daiyu to express her design theme. Originally designed to enjoy the moon, one mountain and one water, one big and one small, one bright and one dark, set each other off into interest. The family dinner is held on the platform of Tubi Mountain Villa Hall on the ridge of the main peak, and you can enjoy the moon at a high place. The big round table on the mat symbolizes reunion, and osmanthus is planted on the hillside, which is consistent with the story of laurel wheel, the spirit of laurel tree and the myth of cutting laurel tree. However, at this point in the novel, the plot has taken a turning point. Grandmother Jia sighed that people were dissatisfied with the round table, and she was even more sad when she heard the sound of flute blowing. By this time, Daiyu and Xiangyun had slipped out of the banquet and went down to the rolling shed of the concave crystal pavilion. "If you are in the shark house of Crystal Palace, the breeze passes and the surface of the pool is wrinkled and blue", just playing with water and enjoying the moon, which is completely different from the above scene. The two of them enjoy the world alone, and their poems are full of poetry, but they are as sad as a sentence. Even if it is cut off by a nun's wonderful jade at the right time, Dai Yu's "Leng Yue Buries Flowers" will end in sorrow, which indicates her fate.
In fact, the words quoted above give full play to the principles of "all scenery is connected with emotion" and "meaning is spirit" in literature. According to Tao's arrangement, the characters in A Dream of Red Mansions show the overlapping and changes of various people, events, scenery, environment and gods at any time, and truly describe the life style of China officials. The exquisiteness is self-evident. Compared with the major joints of the novel, the Grand View Garden presents different images.
