Analysis Of Dream Of The Red Chamber's Clan Culture

Dream of the Red Chamber's Culture is studied in Qing Dynasty. Continuously, many seniors and contemporary scholars had made considerable headway on it .But making a general survey on culture study. They studied them mostly through cultural phenomenon. So they seldom studied Dream of the Red Chamber's Clan Culture through cultural structure's characteristic. In view of this problem, my academic thesis will base itself upon text and studied JIA Mansion Clan Culture in culture significance. I shall try my best to analyse Dream of the Red Chamber's Culture. Under the contemporary cultural language's circumstances, I shall use cultural mean, philosophy and theory of literature and art to analyze patriarchal clan's blood relationship,feudal patriarchal system,the mutual supplement to the Confucianism and Daoism,the same structure of the clan and country.Dream of the Red Chamber is a great works about feudal clan 's prosperity and decline, In The Dream of the Red Chamber, The author whose name is CAO Xue qin really describe JIA,WANG,SHI,XUE which are named the four big clan by means of the style of the Spring and Autumn Annals the use of subtle and guarded language. Especially, CAO Xueqin focuses his style on JIA Mansion's ups and downs. He cruised and thought Dream of the Red Chamber in cultural sense. He tried to summarized its cultural characterizes.JIA Mansion is a typical clan because it is not only bureaucrat and landlord but also the nobles and relatives of the emperor. In JIA Mansion, There are a series of feudal cultural features. There are inequality of the sexes,paternal Blood relations,direct line of descent and the son of a concubine are different,the master and flunkey are not same,.The older and the young are not alike. So JIA Mansion shows patriarchal clan system's blood relations original characteristics. From supreme JIA Mother, We saw feudal patriarchal culture. This is main melody of feudal culture, at the same time the females monopolized power, the male patriarchs step down from the stage of the family power, it is JIA Mansion's clan culture' unique model.In JIA Mansion, Ning Guo Mansion is enveloped in Daoism atmosphere, It is an emblem of Daoism in real world; Rong Guo Mansion is in an atmosphere of the Confucianism. Obviously, it is a reflection of the Confucianism in man's world. The Confucianism and Daoism are main body of Chinese traditional culture in feudal society. They are complementary .the Confucianism is chief .Daoism is supplementary .They are united in Chinese feudal culture. They reflect the Confucian school and Daoism are mutually beneficial, in the family and country's culture which is same suture.At last, I analyses why JIA Mansion clan culture became feeble and died very fast. The causes of formation why JIA Mansion is on the wane are below: To begin with, there is its own limit from the blood lineage of patriarchal clan system, It caused that JIA Mansion's clan culture besets with difficulties both at home and abroad; Secondly, the descendants are all unworthy in JIA Mansion, It resulted in decay of morals and cultural fails; Thirdly, the big garden culture, spring up and it lead to cultural collision. They commonly caused JIA Mansion's culture's decline.On these grounds, I more can draw a conclusion: JIA Mansion's culture is a kind of typical clan culture. It is Chinese culture's epitome. JIA Mansion is Chinese society's miniature That is to say: Jia Mansion's clan culture is an emblem of Chinese feudal culture. Jia Mansion symbolizes Chinese feudal society .A family is a miniature country. The country is a magnified family .From family culture to country culture. From a clan to Chinese feudal society, A clan and the country are same .This is called The Same Structure of the Clan and Country in The Dream of the Red Chamber.
