| 摘要 | The article presents the author's opinions regarding a discussion on the utopian community in the book "Honglou meng." The polarity between the utopian world and the world of reality can be seen in terms of cleanliness and disorder. If a garden is a soteriological instrument, people need to recognize "Honglou meng" as essentially a book in which the protagonists embark on a pilgrimage and as member of a genre or sub genre in traditional Chinese vernacular fiction informed by the Buddhist relationship between reality and illusion. All existence with its rise and fall is like a dream. Therefore, salvation for the deluded mind must involve the removal of illusion and destruction of all sorts of undesirable attachments. According to the article author, the central moral story of "Honglou meng," is a quest for salvation, rather than a social vision of totality. The inhabitants of the utopian world lead a highly aesthetic existence. They pass their days in occupations such as reading, practicing calligraphy, painting, composing verses, etc. |
