《红楼梦》——人类文化的一部新的《圣经》

《红楼梦》是一部堪称中国传统文化《圣经》的伟大的文学巨著。首先,《红楼梦》是对中国传统二十四史的彻底颠覆,并大破大立地为我们开辟出有别于善恶二分谱系的一种以男女情爱为核心的人类历史第三谱系;其次,随着对这一人类第三谱系肯定,《红楼梦》使长期作为"第二性"的女性在人类历史中重新登场,并前所未有地揭露了现实中女性无比深重的历史悲剧;最终,更重要的是,《红楼梦》不仅把现行话语的统治视为女性悲剧的最为深刻原因,而且同时对人类话语进行了一种生命发生学意义的还原,而使一种有别于知识性话语的更为始源的"情的话语"这一泰初之言得以彰显,把对"情的上帝"的皈依这一新的救赎之途提到人类文化的议事日程。这使《红楼梦》的意义已远远超出了文学领域,而最终与人类终极关怀的宗教精神相通,其不啻可视为是与《旧约全书》并肩的又一部伟大的《圣经》。

"Dreams of the Red Chamber" - a New "Bible" of Human Culture

"Dreams of the Red Chamber" is a great literary work that can be said to be a "Bible" of Chinese traditional culture. First, "Dreams of the Red Chamber" is a complete overthrow of the Chinese traditional twenty-four histories, and has opened up for us, in a gigantically breading way, the third pedigree of human history with the male and female love as the core and different from the pedigree with the dual division between the good and the bad. Next, along with the affirmation of the third pedigree of human beings, "Dreams of the Red Chamber" enable the female sex acting as the "second sex" for long to come again onto the stage in the human history, thus unprecedentedly disclosing the incomparably grave historic tragedy of the female sex in reality. Finally, more importantly, "Dreams of the Red Chamber" not only consider the ruling of the current discourse as the deepest cause of the female tragedy but also make a restoration with the meaning of the life generation science for the human discourse so as to make the initial word "discourse of love" more original than the discourse of the knowledge nature and bring the following of "God of lover", the new salvation way, into the agenda. This makes the meaning of "Dreams of the Red Chamber" reach far away from the literary realm and get through the religious spirit which humans are concerned about eternally. It can almost be considered to be another great "Bible" side by side with "the Old Testament".
