1.1 Hong Poetry and Hawkes' Hong Poetry translation
Miscellaneous literary forms and styles clustered in one Chinese ancient fictionhad been in vogue since Legend, a form of short story, which depicts some fantastic andthrilling prodigies, sprang up in Tang Dynasty. At the outset, a few of literary styles,those of several common pieces of poems as usual, served to highlight the story's plotsand carve characters' feelings. But they just popped up www.51lunwen.org when needed to enhanceexpressive effects and exaggerate the atmosphere of the story. These pieces wereincompatible with the story. And without any exaggeration, they can even be deleted atrandom without making any difference. However, Hong Long Meng is a hotchpotch ofsuch quintessence of Chinese literature as Tang and Song poems，Yuan dramas andMing novels. Let's take a close look. Hong Long Meng inherited The Golden Lotus bothin the layout of the plots and the techniques of writing. Both of the works touched uponthe then social problems: the fetter of the imperial official examination on the folks'minds, the extravagance and dissipation of dandies and their wives and concubines, andthe intrigues and collusions between the Four Big Families. Whereas, the author of TheGolden Lotus yields to the formidable opposition of the dark world and falls intofatalism's hands. On the contrary, discarding this bravely, Cao Xueqin rings the funeralbells for the whole feudalism by creating an unruly and unscrupulous hero Jia Baoyu.As for the poems in The Golden Lotus, most of them are cliches and have nothing withthe development of plots and the personalities of characters. They are wont to bedisgusting (Zhu Jie 1982:19-21). But Hong Poetry is an indispensable component,properly embedded in the plots and untraceably melted into the characters' flesh andblood. One item of verse can remind readers of the images of the heroes or the heroines.Jia Baoyu, the main hero, presents himself to readers by such verses as “Too dense byfar to understand his duty / Too stubborn to apply himself to study / Foolhardy in hiseccentricity / He 's deaf to all reproach and obloquy."(療倒不通世务，愚顽怕读文章。行为偏僻性乖张，那管世人诽谤！）Wang Xifeng, one of the main heroines, makes theimpression of 'Too much cunning in plotting and scheming / Is the cause of her ownundoing,(机关算尽太聪明，反算了卿卿性命！）Take Chant of Burying Fallen1Flowers (《葬花吟》）as another example. Lu Qixiang (2004) comments that HongPoetry can not be discussed alone. Chant of Burying Fallen Flowers draws a great manyof materials from poetic history，but it is supposed to belong to the main heroine LinDaiyu, for the verses like '^Across the sky to the world's farthest end/ The flowers, lastfragrant resting-place to find ”（天尽头，何处是香丘？）and “Pure substanced the pureearth to enrich” (质本 f吉来还f吉去)，they are the portrayal of her temperament anddestiny, for the reason why it is alleged a good poem.In Cai Yijing's works (2004:147)，the features of Hong Poetry are summarized as:individuation, plot-tendency, the elaboration of one's own idea by making use of asubject and the strong indications of the coming future. Jingling PanCi (《金陵步iji司》)show to readers their whole lives and dooms of the Twelve Hairpins of Jinling. They arelike contrived plans that God has made in advance as if the Twelve Hairpins livedtotally for carry本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
