Mathematical Criticism On The Golden Lotus

The Golden Iotus is a milestone in our novel-history, a great secular work. From the day it was born, about 400 years, numerous writers and scholars have carried on a lot of meticulous and detailed analysis in the aspect of its author,its version,its ideological significance,its artistic characteristics,its customs and so on. However, many of the studies center around "image criticism", study the work from the novel's features of the image system, very few people analyze the work from the "mathematical" point of view, thus forming a criticism pattern of"weighting-images and lighting-numbers ".And this article mainly conducts an overall view and a specific analysis to "The Golden Lotus" which primarily based on the "literary mathematical criticism"theory of Mr. Du Guichen, so as to provide a new interpretation of the text, and promote the realization of the deep meaning of work.Under the guidance of creative mind, the author mainly re-examine and research the number phenomena and their significance of the novel in the "mathematical criticism " point of view from four aspects: the framework, the plot-language, the character-setting, the temporal and spatial arrangement, which are also the traditional research centers of The Golden lotus. In this paper, the overall design mainly includes three parts, namely Introduction, text, conclusions.Introduction part::It mainly includes three aspects, namely, the concept of mathematical criticism theory; the history and present situation of mathematical criticism on The Golden lotus; the design and research technique of this artical.The body of the main contents is summarized as follows:Chapter I: The mathematical criticism of framework.That is a kind of mathematical research which the text's overall concept is based. Since the impact of the original folk beliefs and the numbers, make some special figures own a kind of mystique of the universe, and become a kind of philosophy symbols that expressing certain meanings. These special numbers used of in the works, making the work own some Philosophical Implications that communicationing with the Heaven. This chapter mainly includes the narrative framework, the internal structure, the happy ending and other aspects. Chapter II: The mathematical criticism of plot and language.Namely, a kind of mathematical research which the plot-arrangement,the details-description and the language are based.These special numbers which have unique philosophy meaning were used in the novel,thus forming a kind of internal modular phenomenon using numbers. These figures are the "three, five, seven, nine, ten" as represented.In particular, the "three" is most obvious and important. This chapter mainly includes "the three-repeating plot","the discourse of three things"and other aspects.Chapter III: The mathematical criticism of characters-setting.That is a kind of mathematical research which the characters-setting is based.As a secular novel, the great success of image-building is one of the most important reason of the supreme winning that The Golden Iotus owned. However, in this tradition area which centers around the image criticism, we also can get the profound research of the characters from the view of the mathematical criticism, which is the same as the traditional image criticism.This chapter mainly includes"the three-constructing", the names of the characters, the age of the characters and so on.Chapter IV: The mathematical criticism of the timing and space.That is the research on the timing, space which was described as a kind of structural elements or narrative order. This chapter mainly includes the timing criticism, the space criticism.Conclusion Part: A systematic summary of the full text.In short, The Golden Iotus carried on a overall mathematical setting in these aspects of the framework, the plot-language, the character-setting, the temporal and spatial arrangement and so on, which inherted the ancient Chinese mathematical traditions and the success examples of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Outlaws of the Marsh", "Journey to the West", developing a unique mathematical landscape and mathematical mechanisms, making the novel shows a unique artistic style.This unique art style produces a certain impact on the number's phenomenon of the "A Dream of Red Mansions", "Marriage to Awaken the World", "The Scholars" and other works.
