The significance of jinghuayuan

On the surface, the text of Mirror Flower Edge is an illusory, romantic and quiet world, but in its depths, it has collided with the deep and sad universal consciousness supported by the great tension of love, persistence and death and doubt. This questioning of the fundamental problems of human existence is the most attractive part of the novel, but under rational thinking, this part of the content can not shine like metal, but has become "feudal dross". Why does the novel have profound thoughts on death? This is the first problem to be solved. To analyze this problem, we must first understand what is poetic wisdom and poetic wisdom in the context of China, because it is the fundamental feature of China's poetic wisdom that leads to the above profound proposition in The Garden of Mirrors. The so-called poetic wisdom is simply a primitive thinking. According to Vico's explanation in his famous New Science, the primitive people's way of understanding the world is instinctive and unique, not as naive, ignorant, barbaric and ignorant as we think under rational wisdom, but "poetic". It has two obvious features that can be described, namely, an imaginative "class concept" and an anthropomorphic "metaphor". The emergence of poetic wisdom is obviously the inevitable product of the era of public ownership of property. Before human's self-consciousness is completely independent, primitive human's way of thinking must be a collective representation, and at the same time it is a kind of "body language" or "action thinking". Vico's classic exposition on poetic wisdom tells us at least two points for attention of human beings living under rational wisdom: first, poetic wisdom is the form that precedes rational wisdom, and poetic wisdom is the first form of human culture; Second, people of different nationalities, countries and regions have * * * in common because of the poetic wisdom in early human beings. Although there are fewer and fewer commonalities due to regional differences and national characteristics, there are similarities and similarities in at least some aspects. From this, we can enter the discussion of the second proposition, that is, although the psychological starting point of all mankind is almost the same, China's poetic wisdom is significantly different from that of the West, and the inheritance of the spirit of life ontology is one of the most typical ones. Why is China's poetic wisdom so different from that of the West? I don't want to go into details here. It should be emphasized that China's ancient civilization, because it directly inherited the life noumenon spirit of poetic wisdom, showed a different form from the west in essence, that is, Mr. Liu Shilin said that "China's poetic wisdom is immortal in essence", which he had incisively and exhaustively expounded: "Unlike ancient Greek philosophy, it does not adopt the reflective way of rational thinking, but melts death into a part of life in an intuitive way of poetic wisdom; Different from the religious practice in ancient India, it does not use irrational religious fanaticism to transcend the death fear complex of the perceptual body, but devalues the importance of individual life and death with sober realistic spirit and human obligations as the meaning of life; Contrary to the death ethics of ancient Egypt, it takes the continuation of the group as the first meaning, thus dissolving the life and death of the individual in the endless historical extension of the race, thus making life immortal in spirit. " In view of the two fundamental characteristics of China's poetic wisdom, that is, non-subjectivity and non-objectification, China's poetic culture shows the profound realm of heaven and man, and the rhythm of life activities, that is, "Heaven and earth coexist and everything and I are one". The author generally shows a fairy tale expression that pays more attention to intuition than logical reasoning in narrative mode. How is it possible to focus on an emotional noumenon that is clear from poetic wisdom and transcends life and death, including A Dream of Red Mansions, The Garden in a Mirror, The Journey to the West and other masterpieces. All of them show the poetic theme that the stone flowers and trees stand out from the infinite universe because of their spirituality and love for life. This immortal spirit of wisdom has been fully developed in The Mirror Flower Edge. The novel enters the eternal world of reincarnation for the sixth time. "Little fairy went here, little fairy can't worship, so I gave a special ganoderma lucidum. This kind of cheese was produced in the heyday of the emperor. It's been over two million years. Because of its innate meaning, the essence of the sun and the moon must be taken first and live with the sky. " "I accidentally found a kind of regenerated fairy grass in the mountains on the island. I came to see it and thought it was a parting gift. This grass was born at the beginning of development, and after years of deep development, it has a wonderful nine turns, which is rare in the world. No matter how immortal you are, once you take it, you will not only come back to life, but also grow old with the same day. " In the ninth time, a fairy world was rendered nakedly in "Taking Yue's family to prolong life and eating Zhu Cao as sacred": "This fruit is called Daowei Kernel, and its taste is uncertain, so it is called Weiye Kernel. If someone eats it, it will become a fairy. If you get this nuclear today, you can't be immortal and you can't live long. " "I saw a red grass growing in a crack on the side of the road ... then I put it in my mouth, only to feel fragrant and penetrated my brain. Just finished eating, I suddenly felt refreshed ... I saw a remnant tablet lying on the ground by the roadside, weighing about five or seven hundred kilograms. Immediately approach, bend down, effortlessly, and gently lift it with your hands ... "In this paradise, not only fairy grass can be eaten everywhere, but even fish can live forever. The fifteenth time recorded, "On the Yellow Emperor's Day, the immortal Ning Feng ate flying fish, died for two hundred years, and was reborn. Not only can it cure hemorrhoids, but it can also become an immortal! " In a country without a successor, although people can't have children, their bodies are immortal after death, and they are still alive after 120 years. In Xuanyuan country, "the king is a thousand years old." Among all the descriptions about the reincarnation of immortals, the core is the appearance of "Immortal Country" and "Immortal Tree": in the "Immortal Country", "there is a hill on which there is an immortal tree, which can be eaten forever, and there is a lipstick spring in the countryside, whose water is very red and can be drunk forever."
