Der Traum der Roten KammerDie Qianlong-Regierungsperiode Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts gilt als die Blütezeit der Qing-Dynastie, allerdings entstand schon damals ein Roman, der den Untergang der feudalen Gesellschaft prophezeite und ihn gleichzeitig betrauerte. Dies ist der von Cao Xueqin verfasste Roman "Der Traum der roten Kammer"."Der Traum der roten Kammer" gilt als ein Monument unter den klassischen chinesischen Romanen. Dieses großartige Roman basiert auf den Erfahrungen, die der Autor Cao Xueqin im Laufe des langsamen wirtschaftlichen Abstiegs seiner Familie gemacht hat und die er in genialer Erzähltechnik und mit Hilfe seiner klassischen Bildung ausformulierte. Cao Xueqins Großvater war ein bedeutender Beamter unter der Regierung von Kaiser Kangxi, daher wuchs Cao Xueqin in einer wohlhabenden Familie auf. Später fiel die Familie Cao in Ungnade und das Vermögen wurde konfisziert. Die Familie Cao zog vom Süden des Landes nach Beijing und der junge Cao Xueqin lebte in armseligen Verhältnissen. Bis zu seinem Lebensabend führte Cao Xueqin ein Leben in Zurückgezogenheit in einem westlichen Vorort von Beijing, wo er unter schwierigenäußeren Bedingungen die ersten 80 Kapitel seines Romans "Der Traum der roten Kammer" verfasste. Kurz darauf starb Cao Xueqin nach schwerer Krankheit.Die Manuskripte des Romans "Der Traum der roten Kammer", der auch unter dem Titel "Geschichte eines Steins" bekannt ist, wurden bereits vor dem Tod Cao Xueqins verbreitet. Nach seinem Tod bearbeitete ein Literat namens Gao E den Text und schrieb, entsprechend den von Cao Xueqin hinterlassenen Unterlagen und Skizzen, die letzten 40 Kapitel und vollendete so den Roman."Der Traum der roten Kammer" ist ein enzyklopädischer Roman, der Beschreibungen des Lebens aller Gesellschaftsschichten des damaligen China enthält. Es werden sämtliche Bereiche des Alltagslebens von den Aktivitäten der Oberschicht bis zu den Tätigkeiten der normalenBevölkerung beschrieben und so ein Überblick über das gesellschaftliche Leben während der Qing-Dynastie geboten.Im Roman "Der Traum der roten Kammer" beschreibt Cao Xueqin hauptsächlich das Schicksal von vier verschiedenen Adelsfamilien und zwar den Familien Jia, Wang, Shi und Xue. Später fokussiert sich die Handlung auf die Familie Jia und der Hauptschauplatz ist der Garten derGroßen Aussicht (Daguanyuan). Anhand dieses überschaubaren Ausschnitts der Gesellschaft werden die Beziehungen der Familienmitglieder - und hier vor allem der Frauen - zur Außenwelt und auch untereinander detailgetreu geschildert und der Untergang der Familie Jia nachgezeichnet.Die Schilderung der Figuren in dem Roman ist ausgesprochen gut gelungen. Es werden mehr als 700 Personen beschrieben und über 100 davon sind typische Charaktere. Cao Xueqins Darstellungen der komplizierten psychologischen Befindlichkeit besonders der Hauptdarstellerinnen ist einfühlsam und tiefgreifend. Mit großer Sympathie zeigt er ihre Erwartung an das Leben und speziell ihre Sehnsucht nach Liebe, wobei er sowohl ihre reiche,tiefgründige Menschlichkeit, als auch die Einengung durch die Umwelt und die traditionelle Gesellschaft ausführlich beschreibt, wodurch die geschilderten Figuren sehr plastisch wirken.Der Roman "Der Traum der roten Kammer" verfügt über einen beispiellos hohen künstlerischen Wert. Seine Ausdrucksweise, seine Struktur und Charakterisierung der Figuren stellen denHöhepunkt in der klassischen chinesischen Romanliteratur dar.。

维基百科《红楼梦》A Dream of Red Mansions

维基百科《红楼梦》A Dream of Red Mansions

Dream of the Red Chamber (also Red Chamber Dream, Hung Lou Meng or A Dream of Red Mansions) (simplified Chinese: 红楼梦; traditional Chinese: 紅樓夢; pinyin: Hónglóu mèng), rarely also called The Story of the Stone (simplified Chinese: 石头记; traditional Chinese: 石頭記; pinyin: Shítóu jì; literally "Record of the Stone"), is a masterpiece of Chinese vernacular literature and one of China's Four Great Classical Novels. The novel was composed some time in the middle of the 18th century during the Qing Dynasty and is attributed to Cao Xueqin. "Redology" is the field of study devoted exclusively to this work, and the novel is generally acknowledged to be the pinnacle of classical Chinese novels.[1][2][3]The novel is believed to be semi-autobiographical, mirroring the fortunes of Cao's own family. As the author details in the first chapter, it is intended to be a memorial to the women he knew in his youth: friends, relatives and servants.The novel is remarkable not only for its huge cast of characters and psychological scope, but also for its precise and detailed observation of the life and social structures typical of 18th-century Chinese aristocracy.[4]This novel was published anonymously, but 20th-century Redologists have ascertained its author to be Cao Xueqin, based on circulated commentaries penned in red ink on many of the early handcopied versions known as the "Rouge V ersions" (脂本).Contents [hide]1 Language2 Themes3 Plot summary4 Reception and Interpretation5 Characters5.1 Baoyu and Jinling's Twelve Beauties5.2 Other main characters5.3 Notable minor characters6 Homophones7 Versions7.1 Rouge versions7.2 Cheng-Gao versions8 Translations9 See also10 Notes11 References12 External links12.1 Translations12.2 Annotations12.3 Other linksLanguageThe novel is written in vernacular rather than classical Chinese and helped establish the legitimacy of the vernacular idiom. Its author, Cao Xueqin, was well versed in Chinese poetry and in classical Chinese, having written tracts in the erudite semi-wenyan style. The novel's conversations were written in the Beijing Mandarin dialect, which was to become the basis of modern spoken Chinese, with influences from Nanjing-area Mandarin (where Cao's family lived in the early 1700s). [edit]ThemesA scene from the story, painted by Xu Baozhuan (born 1810).The novel is normally called Hung Lou Meng or Hóng Lóu Mèng (紅樓夢), literally "Red chamber dream". "Red tower" or "red chamber" is an idiom for the sheltered chambers where the daughters of wealthy families lived.[5] It also refers to a dream in Chapter 5 that Baoyu has, set in a "red chamber", where the fates of many of the characters are foreshadowed. "Chamber" is sometimes translated as "mansion" because of the scale of the Chinese word "樓", but "mansion" is thought to neglect the flavour of the word "chamber" and it is a mistranslation according to Zhou Ruchang.[6][7]The name of the main family, "賈", is a homophone with another Chinese character "假", which means false, fake, fictitious or sham. Thus, Cao Xueqin suggests that the novel's family is both a realistic reflection and a fictional or "dream" version of his own family.[edit]Plot summaryThe novel provides a detailed, episodic record of the two branches of the Jia clan, the Rongguo House (榮國府) and the Ningguo House (寧國府), who reside in two large adjacent family compounds in the capital. Their ancestors were made dukes, and as the novel begins the two houses are among the most illustrious families in the capital. One of the clan's offspring is made an Imperial Consort, and a gigantic landscaped interior garden, named the Prospect Garden, is built to celebrate this event. The novel describes the Jias' wealth and influence in great naturalistic detail, and charts the Jias' fall from the height of their prestige, following some thirty main characters and over four hundred minor ones. Eventually the Jia clan falls into disfavor with the Emperor, and their mansions are raided and confiscated.In the story's preface, a sentient Stone, abandoned by the Goddess Nüwa when she mended the heavens aeons ago, begs a Taoist priest and Buddhist monk to bring it with him to enjoy in the wordly world. The Stone and Divine Attendant-in-Waiting (神瑛侍者) are separate beings (while in Cheng-gao versions they are merged into the same character). The main character, Jia Baoyu (whose name means "precious jade"), is the adolescent heir of the family, a reincarnation of the Divine Attendant-in-Waiting. The Crimson Pearl Fairy (絳珠仙子) is incarnated as Baoyu's sickly cousin, the emotional Lin Daiyu, who loves Baoyu. Baoyu, however, is predestined in this life to marry another cousin, Xue Baochai. This love triangle against the backdrop of the family's declining fortunes forms the most well-known plot line in the novel.[edit]Reception and InterpretationFrom the first manuscripts circulating from the year 1759 until today, the novel has been a continuously successful bestseller not only in China, but all over the world in its various translations. One reason is that the story describes the unwillingness of a young man to grow up, a particularly resonant theme in literature.[citation needed] When the young man, Jia Baoyu, finally grows up, the paradise-like Prospect Garden of his childhood is destroyed and his friends are scattered to the four winds.[8][edit]CharactersA scene from the story, painted by Xu BaozhuanDream of the Red Chamber contains an extraordinarily large number of characters: nearly thirty are considered major characters, and there are over four hundred additional ones.[9] Jia Baoyu is the male protagonist. Females take center stage and are frequently shown to be more capable than their male counterparts. The names of the maids and bondservants are given in the original pinyin pronunciations and in David Hawkes' translation.[edit]Baoyu and Jinling's Twelve BeautiesJia Baoyu (simplified Chinese: 贾宝玉; traditional Chinese: 賈寶玉; pinyin: JiǎBǎoyù; Wade-Giles: Chia Pao-yu, Meaning: Precious Jade)The main protagonist, he is about 12- or 13-years-old when he is introduced in the novel.[10] The adolescent son of Jia Zheng (賈政) and his wife, Lady Wang (王夫人). Born with a piece of luminescent jade in his mouth (the Stone), Baoyu is the heir apparent to the Rongguo line (榮國府). Frowned on by his strict Confucian father, Baoyu reads Zhuangzi and Romance of the West Chamber rather than the Four Books basic to a classic Chinese education. Baoyu is highly intelligent, but hates the fawning bureaucrats that frequent his father's house. He shuns ordinary men, considering them morally and spiritually inferior to women. Sensitive and compassionate, Baoyu holds the view that "girls are in essence pure as water, and men are in essence muddled as mud." The book even indicates that he has had sexual affairs with some of his maids including Xiren. His surname Jia is a homonym for "False" and a boy named Zhen Baoyu ("True Baoyu") makes an appearance in the book.Lin Daiyu (Chinese: 林黛玉; pinyin: Lín Dàiyù; Wade-Giles: Lin Tai-yu, Meaning: Black Jade) Jia Baoyu's younger first cousin and his primary love interest. She is the daughter of Lin Ruhai (林如海), a Yangzhou scholar-official, and Lady Jia Min (賈敏), Baoyu's paternal aunt. She is thin, sickly, but beautiful in a way that is unconventional. She also suffers from a respiratory ailment which makes her cough. The novel proper starts in Chapter 3 with Daiyu's arrival at the Rongguo House shortly after the death of her mother. Fragile emotionally, prone to fits of jealousy, Daiyu is nevertheless an extremely accomplished poet and musician. The novel designates her one of the Jinling Twelve Women, and describes her as a lonely, proud and ultimately tragic figure. Daiyu is the reincarnation of the Crimson Pearl Flower, and the purpose of her mortal birth is to repay Baoyu (for watering her) with her tears.Xue Baochai (simplified Chinese: 薛宝钗; traditional Chinese: 薛寶釵; pinyin: XuēBǎo chāi; Wade-Giles: Hsueh Pao-chai, Meaning: Precious Virtue)Jia Baoyu's other first cousin. The only daughter of Aunt Xue (薛姨媽), sister to Baoyu's mother, Baochai is a foil to Daiyu. Where Daiyu is unconventional and hypersensitive, Baochai is sensible and tactful: a model Chinese feudal maiden. The novel describes her as beautiful and intelligent, but also reserved and following the rules of decorum. Although reluctant to show the extent of her knowledge, Baochai seems to be quite learned about everything, from Buddhist teachings to how not to make a paint plate crack. She is not keen on elaborately decorating her room and herself. The novel describes her room as being completely free of decoration, apart from a small vase of chrysanthemums. Baochai has a round face, fair skin, large eyes, and, some would say, a voluptuous figure in contrast to Daiyu's willowy daintiness. Baochai carries a golden locket with her which contains words given to her in childhood by a Buddhist monk. Baochai's golden locket and Baoyu's jade contain inscriptions that appear to complement one another perfectly. Their marriage is seen in the book as predestined.Jia Yuanchun (simplified Chinese: 贾元春; traditional Chinese: 賈元春; pinyin: JiǎYuán chūn; Wade-Giles: Chia Yuan-chun, Meaning: First of Spring)Baoyu's elder sister by about a decade. Originally one of the ladies-in-waiting in the imperial palace, Yuanchun later becomes an Imperial Consort, having impressed the Emperor with her virtue and learning. Her illustrious position as a favorite of the Emperor marks the height of the Jia family's powers. Despite her prestigious position, Y uanchun feels imprisoned within the four walls of the imperial palace. Redologists think that in the original lost ending, Y uanchun's sudden death precipitates the fall of the Jia family.Jia Tanchun (simplified Chinese: 贾探春; traditional Chinese: 賈探春; pinyin: Jiǎchūn; Wade-Giles: Chia Tan-chun, Meaning: Quest of Spring)Baoyu's younger half-sister by Concubine Zhao. Brash and extremely outspoken, she is almost as capable as Wang Xifeng. Wang Xifeng herself compliments her privately, but laments that she was "born in the wrong womb," since concubine children are not respected as much as those by first wives. She is also a very talented poet. Tanchun is nicknamed "Rose" for her beauty and her prickly personality.A Qing Dynasty woodcut print depicting Xiren. By Gai Qi (born 1773)Shi Xiangyun (simplified Chinese: 史湘云; traditional Chinese: 史湘雲; pinyin: ShǐXiāng yún; Wade-Giles: Shih Hsiang-yun, Meaning: Xiang River Mist)Jia Baoyu's younger second cousin. Grandmother Jia's grandniece. Orphaned in infancy, she grows up under her wealthy maternal uncle and aunt who use her unkindly. In spite of this Xiangyun is openhearted and cheerful. A comparatively androgynous beauty, Xiangyun looks good in men's clothes (once she put on Baoyu's clothes and Grandmother Jia thought she was he), and loves to drink and eat barbecued meat. She is forthright and without tact, but her forgiving nature takes the sting from her casually truthful remarks. She is well educated and as talented a poet as Daiyu or Baochai.Miaoyu (Chinese: 妙玉; pinyin: Miàoyù; Wade-Giles: Miao-yu, Meaning: Wonderful/Clever Jade)a young nun from Buddhist cloisters of the Rong-guo house. Extremely beautiful and learned, while also extremely aloof, haughty and unsociable. She also has an obsession with cleanliness.The novel says she was compelled by her illness to become a nun, and shelters herself under the nunnery in Prospect Garden to dodge political affairs. She likes Zhuangzi's articles.Jia Yingchun (simplified Chinese: 贾迎春; traditional Chinese: 賈迎春; pinyin: JiǎYíng chūn; Wade-Giles: Chia Ying-chun, Meaning: Welcome Spring)Second female family member of the generation of the Jia household after Yuanchun, Yingchun is the daughter of Jia She, Baoyu's uncle and therefore his elder first cousin. A kind-hearted, weak-willed person, Yingchun is said to have a "wooden" personality and seems rather apathetic toward all worldly affairs. Although very pretty and well-read, she does not compare in intelligence and wit to any of her cousins. Yingchun's most famous trait, it seems, is her unwillingness to meddle in the affairs of her family. Eventually Yingchun marries a new favorite of the imperial court, her marriage being merely one of her father's desperate attempts to raise the declining fortunes of the Jia family. The newly married Yingchun becomes a victim of domestic abuse and constant violence at the hands of her cruel, abusive husband.Jia Xichun (simplified Chinese: 贾惜春; traditional Chinese: 賈惜春; pinyin: JiǎXīchūn; Wade-Giles: Chia Hsi-chun, Meaning: Compassion Spring)Baoyu's younger second cousin from the Ningguo House, but brought up in the Rongguo House. A gifted painter, she is also a devout Buddhist. She is the sister of Jia Zhen, head of the Ningguo House. At the end of the novel, after the fall of the house of Jia, she gives up her worldly concerns and becomes a Buddhist nun. She is the second youngest of Jinling's Twelve Beauties, described as a pre-teen in most parts of the novel.Wang Xifeng (simplified Chinese: 王熙凤; traditional Chinese: 王熙鳳; pinyin: Wáng Xīfèng; Wade-Giles: Wang Hsi-feng, Meaning: Splendid Phoenix), alias Sister Feng.Baoyu's elder cousin-in-law, young wife to Jia Lian (who is Baoyu's paternal first cousin), niece to Lady Wang. Xifeng is hence related to Baoyu both by blood and marriage. An extremely handsome woman, Xifeng is capable, clever, amusing and, at times, vicious and cruel. Undeniably the most worldly of the women in the novel, Xifeng is in charge of the daily running of the Rongguo household and wields remarkable economic as well as political power within the family. Being a favorite of Grandmother Jia, Xifeng keeps both Lady Wang and Grandmother Jia entertained with her constant jokes and amusing chatter, playing the role of the perfect filial daughter-in-law, and by pleasing Grandmother Jia, ruling the entire household with an iron fist. One of the most remarkable multi-faceted personalities in the novel, Xifeng can be kind-hearted toward the poor and helpless. On the other hand, Xifeng can be cruel enough to kill. Her feisty personality, her loud laugh, and her great beauty contrast with many of the frail, weak-willed beauties of the literature of 18th-century China.Jia Qiaojie (simplified Chinese: 贾巧姐; traditional Chinese: 賈巧姐; pinyin: JiǎQiǎojiě; Wade-Giles: Chia Chiao-chieh, Meaning: Timely Older Sister)Wang Xifeng's and Jia Lian's daughter. She is a child through much of the novel. After the fall of the house of Jia, in the version of Gao E and Cheng Weiyuan, she marries the son of a wealthy rural family introduced by Granny Liu and goes on to lead a happy, uneventful life in the countryside.Li Wan (simplified Chinese: 李纨; traditional Chinese: 李紈; pinyin: LǐWán; Wade-Giles: Li Wan, Meaning: White Silk)Baoyu's elder sister-in-law, widow of Baoyu's deceased elder brother, Jia Zhu (賈珠). Her primary task is to bring up her son Lan and watch over her female cousins. The novel portrays Li Wan, ayoung widow in her late twenties, as a mild-mannered woman with no wants or desires, the perfect Confucian ideal of a proper mourning widow. She eventually attains high social status due to the success of her son at the Imperial Exams, but the novel sees her as a tragic figure because she wasted her youth upholding the strict standards of behavior.Qin Keqing (Chinese: 秦可卿; pinyin: Qín Kěqīng; Wade-Giles: Ch'in Ko-ching)Daughter-in-law to Jia Zhen. Of all the characters in the novel, the circumstances of her life and early death are amongst the most mysterious. Apparently a very beautiful and flirtatious woman, she carried on an affair with her father-in-law and dies before the second quarter of the novel. Her bedroom is bedecked with priceless artifacts belonging to extremely sensual women, both historical and mythological. In her bed, Bao Y u first travels to the Land of Illusion where he has a sexual encounter with Two-In-One, who represents Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu. Two-in-One's name is also Keqing, making Qin Keqing also a significant character in Bao Yu's sexual experience. The original twelve songs hint that Qin Keqing hanged herself.[edit]Other main charactersGrandmother Jia (simplified Chinese: 贾母; traditional Chinese: 賈母; pinyin: Jiǎmǔ), née Shi. Also called the Matriarch or the Dowager, the daughter of Marquis Shi of Jinling. Grandmother to both Baoyu and Daiyu, she is the highest living authority in the Rongguo house and the oldest and most respected of the entire clan, yet also a doting person. She has two sons, Jia She and Jia Zheng, and a daughter, Min, Daiyu's mother. Daiyu is brought to the house of the Jias at the insistence of Grandmother Jia, and she helps Daiyu and Baoyu bond as childhood playmates and, later, kindred spirits.Jia She (simplified Chinese: 贾赦; traditional Chinese: 贾赦; pinyin: JiǎShè; Wade-Giles: Chia Sheh, Meaning: "To Pardon (a Convict)")T elder son of the Dowager. He is the father of Jia Lian and Jia Yingchun. He is a treacherous and greedy man, and an extreme womanizer.Jia Zheng (simplified Chinese: 贾政; traditional Chinese: 賈政; pinyin: JiǎZhèng; Wade-Giles: Chia Cheng, Meaning: "Political/Government")Baoyu's father, the younger son of the Dowager. He is disciplinarian and Confucian scholar. Afraid his one surviving son will turn bad, he imposes strict rules on his son, and uses occasional corporal punishment. He has a wife, Lady Wang, and two concubines: Zhao and Zhou.Jia Lian (simplified Chinese: 贾琏; traditional Chinese: 賈璉; pinyin: JiǎLián; Wade-Giles: Chia Lien, Meaning: "Vessel for Grain")Xifeng's husband and Baoyu's paternal elder cousin, a notorious womanizer whose numerous affairs cause much trouble with his jealous wife, including affairs with men that are not known by his wife. His pregnant concubine (Second Sister You) eventually dies by his wife's engineering. He and his wife are in charge of most hiring and monetary allocation decisions, and often fight over this power.Xiangling (香菱, "Fragrant Water Caltrop") —the Xues' maid, born Zhen Yinglian (甄英蓮, literally "The real outstanding lotus", a homophone with "deserving pity"), the kidnapped and lost daughter to Zhen Shiyin (甄士隱), the country gentleman in Chapter 1. Her name is changed to Qiuling (秋菱) by Xue Pan's spoiled wife, Xia Jin'gui (夏金桂).Pinger (平兒, "Peaceful")Xifeng's chief maid and personal confidante; also concubine to Xifeng's husband, Jia Lian. Theconsensus among the novel's characters seem to be that Pinger is beautiful enough to rival the mistresses in the house. Originally Xifeng's maid in the Wang household, she follows Xifeng as part of her "dowry" when Xifeng marries into the Jia household. She handles her troubles with grace, assists Xifeng capably and appears to have the respect of most of the household servants. She is also one of the very few people who can get close to Xifeng. She wields considerable power in the house as Xifeng's most trusted assistant, but uses her power sparingly and justly. Xue Pan (Chinese: 薛蟠; pinyin: Xuē Pán; Wade-Giles: Hsueh Pan, Meaning: "To Coil") Baochai's older brother, a dissolute, idle rake who was a local bully in Jinling. He was known for his amorous exploits with both men and women. Not particularly well educated, he once killed a man over a servant-girl (Xiangling) and had the manslaughter case hushed up with money. Granny Liu (simplified Chinese: 刘姥姥; traditional Chinese: 劉姥姥; pinyin: LiúLǎolao)A country rustic and distant relation to the Wang family, who provides a comic contrast to the ladies of the Rongguo House during two visits. She eventually rescues Qiaojie from her maternal uncle, who wanted to sell her.Lady Wang (Chinese: 王夫人; pinyin: Wáng Fūren)A Buddhist, primary wife of Jia Zheng. Because of her purported ill-health, she hands over the running of the household to her niece, Xifeng, as soon as the latter marries into the Jia household, although she retains overall control over Xifeng's affairs so that the latter always has to report to her. Although Lady Wang appears to be a kind mistress and a doting mother, she can in fact be cruel and ruthless when her authority is challenged. She pays a great deal of attention to Baoyu's maids to make sure that Baoyu does not develop romantic relationships with them.Aunt Xue (simplified Chinese: 薛姨妈; traditional Chinese: 薛姨媽; pinyin: Xuē Yímā), née WangBaoyu's maternal aunt, mother to Pan and Baochai, sister to Lady Wang. She is kindly and affable for the most part, but finds it hard to control her unruly son.QingwenXiren (simplified Chinese: 袭人; traditional Chinese: 襲人; pinyin: Xírén, Meaning: "Assails Men")Baoyu's principal maid and his unofficial concubine. Originally the maid of the Dowager, Xiren was given to Baoyu because of her extreme loyalty toward the master she serves. Considerate and forever worried about Baoyu, she is the partner of his first adolescent sexual encounter in the real world in Chapter 5.Qingwen (Chinese: 晴雯; pinyin: Qíngwén, Meaning: "Clear Mulitcolored Clouds")Baoyu's handmaiden. Brash, haughty and the most beautiful maid in the household, Qingwen is said to resemble Daiyu very strongly. Of all of Baoyu's maids, she is the only one who dares to argue with Baoyu when reprimanded, but is also extremely devoted to him. She is disdainful of Xiren's attempt to use her sexual relation with Baoyu to raise her status in the family. Lady Wang later suspected her of having an affair with Baoyu and publicly dismisses her on that account; angry at the unfair treatment and of the indignities and slanders that attended her as a result, Qingwen dies of an illness shortly after leaving the Jia household.Yuanyang ((Chinese: 鸳鸯; pinyin: Yuānyang, Meaning: "Mandarin Duck")The Dowager's chief maid. She rejected a marriage proposal (as concubine) to the lecherous Jia She, Grandmother Jia's eldest son.Mingyan (simplified Chinese: 茗烟; traditional Chinese: 茗煙; pinyin: Míngyān, Meaning: "Tea Mist")Baoyu's page boy. Knows his master like the back of his hand.Zijuan (simplified Chinese: 紫鹃; traditional Chinese: 紫鵑; pinyin: Zǐjuān; Wade-Giles: Tzu-chuan, Meaning: "Purple Cuckoo")Daiyu's faithful maid, ceded by the Dowager to her granddaughter.Xueyan (Chinese: 雪雁; pinyin: Xuěyàn, Meaning: "Snow Goose")Daiyu's other maid. She came with Daiyu from Yangzhou, and comes across as a young, sweet girl.Concubine Zhao (simplified Chinese: 赵姨娘; traditional Chinese: 趙姨娘; pinyin: Zhào Yíniáng )A concubine of Jia Zheng. She is the mother of Jia Tanchun and Jia Huan, Baoyu's half-siblings. She longs to be the mother of the head of the household, which she does not achieve. She plots to murder Baoyu and Xifeng with black magic, and it is believed that her plot cost her her own life. [edit]Notable minor charactersQin Zhong (秦鐘) —Qin Keqing's handsome younger brother.

This printed version, known as the Chenggao edition, contains edits and revisions not authorised by the author.[edit]Rouge versionsThe novel was anonymous until the 20th century. After Hu Shi's analyses, it is generally agreed that Cao Xueqin wrote the first 80 chapters of the novel.Up until 1791, the novel circulated merely in scribal transcripts. These early hand-copied versions end abruptly at the latest at the 80th chapter. The earlier ones furthermore contain transcribed comments and annotations in red ink from unknown commentators. These commentators' remarks reveal much about the author as a person, and it is now believed that some of them may even be。

《红楼梦》意大利语前言

《红楼梦》意大利语版前言马丁·贝内迪克特 吕同六译编者按:早在42年前,意大利汉学家就将我国的古典名著《红楼梦》由德文译本(库恩译)转译成意大利文,介绍给友好的意大利人民。

但是,长期以来我们对这个译本的详细情况缺少了解。

最近,我们请中国社会科学院外国文学所吕同六研究员为读者翻译了这个译本的序言,并简略地介绍了序作者马丁·贝内迪克特及两位译者生平。

现将吕同六研究员的文字转录于后,供读者参考。

克拉拉·博维罗(Clara Bovero),意大利翻译家,译著有《红楼梦》、《水浒传》(1956年,都灵,埃依纳乌迪出版社出版,由德国库恩译本转译)。

卡尔拉·皮罗内·里乔(carla Pirrome Riccio ),意大利翻译家。

《红楼梦》,是一幅姿色各异的人物的画卷,这些人物在传统的核心内活动,以别开生面的方式融入和活跃于环境之中;小说的中心事件感受和酿成于内心世界。

富于情趣而又清晰可见的心底波澜,取代了在错综复杂的民俗背景上塑造的屡见不鲜的、粗俗的、模式化的人物。

内心生活是这部作品最为率真、最为耀眼的重点,从而保障了它的成功,赋予从最主要的人物到边缘人物以鲜明的心态和面影。

超现实的神秘性在小说的序幕和尾声中占主导地位,并且逼迫着黛玉和宝玉之间迷人的爱情故事,但被置于生活的不可抗拒的阴谋和老一代没落的氛围之中的爱情故事,依然贯串小说始终,并保持着自身的纯洁。

释意理论下《红楼梦》的章回目录德译

释意理论下《红楼梦》的章回目录德译

释意理论下《红楼梦》的章回目录德译作者:王晓宁来源:《牡丹》2017年第15期《红楼梦》的章回目录在作品中具有提纲挈领的作用,而章回目录的翻译则直接影响到目的语读者对该部文学作品的理解与接受程度。

释意理论对《红楼梦》章回目录的德译具有相当的适应性,在施华慈和沃斯勒的合译本中,人们经常可以看到释意理论关照下,这种注重传递原文“意义”的翻译处理。

在《红楼梦》外译的研究中,学界大多集中探讨其英文译本,对其德文译本则缺少关照。

《红楼梦》最早的德文节译本由德国人弗兰茨·库恩(Franz Kuhn)于1932年完成,这个译本在欧洲具有一定影响,多年来不断修订和重印,并被转译成英、法、意、荷兰等多国文字。

2007至2009年,欧洲大学出版社出版了《红楼梦》最新的德文译本,由德国汉学家莱纳·施华慈(Rainer Schwarz负责前八十回)和马丁·沃斯勒(Martin Woesler负责后四十回)共同完成,是迄今为止唯一的德语全译本。

笔者以该德译本的章回目录翻译为研究对象,在释意理论的指导下,讨论该理论对章回目录德译的适应性,探究译者翻译章回目录时使用的翻译策略,并试图对形成的翻译效果进行评价。

一、《红楼梦》章回目录的特点《红楼梦》全书一百二十回,每回皆以八字的对句构成,形式整齐划一,同时兼具音韵美,运用叠音、叠韵等手法使之平仄协调,读来朗朗上口,如“情切切良宵花解语,意绵绵静日玉生香”(第十九回)。

除其形式特征外,其章回目录还有上下句意群分段处一致的特点。

基本句型为“3+2+3”“3+3+2”“3+1+4”“4+2+2”“4+4”,且上下句对仗工整,词性到词义皆相对或相近。

“3+2+3”的意群划分句型为《红楼梦》章回目录的基本格式,如“王熙凤毒设相思局,贾天祥正照风月鉴”(第十二回),该句型每句三顿,每顿字数为两个字或三个字,给人以抑扬顿挫之感。

此外,大量运用借代、谐音、双关、典故等多种修辞手法是《红楼梦》回目的又一特点,如“滴翠庭杨妃戏彩蝶,埋香冢飞燕泣残红”(第二十七回)。

《红楼梦》德英译本人名翻译特色比较

《红楼梦》德英译本人名翻译特色比较

《红楼梦》德英译本人名翻译特色比较《红楼梦》的人物命名极具特色。

本文选取大卫·霍克斯所译英文版和弗兰兹·库恩所译德文版中一些典型人名,从归化、异化角度对其翻译特色进行分析、比较。

为了作品在目标语者中的传播和普及,译者应该更多地采用归化翻译。

标签:《红楼梦》人名归化异化一、引言《红楼梦》是浩如烟海的中国古典文学宝库中一颗极为璀璨的明珠,在中国文学史上享有崇高地位。

其各种译本也在世界范围内广泛流传,向全世界展现了博大精深的中国传统文化,为外国人了解中国传统文化打开了一个窗口。

如此一部彪炳史册的巨著,加之中文的特殊性和复杂性,《红楼梦》的翻译,难度之大,可想而知。

然而两位汉学家——《红楼梦》英文版译者大卫·霍克斯和德文版译者弗兰兹·库恩克服了重重困难,出色地完成了这一艰巨任务。

笔者将从一个小的切入点——人名翻译,对德英译本不同的翻译风格和技巧做一简要分析。

自古以来,中国人就对起名字十分重视。

早在春秋战国时代,孔子就有言:“名不正则言不顺,言不顺则事不成。

”除了极具重要性之外,中国人取名字还是一种艺术。

张爱玲在《必也正名乎》中说道:“为人取名字是一个轻便的,小规模的创造。

”相比之下,西方人取名则更像是一种程序:在神话传说或宗教经典中挑选一个现成的即可。

这种文化背景上的差异也给翻译造成了很大挑战。

《红楼梦》人物姓名尤其复杂。

全书人物近千,关系纷繁复杂。

作者给这些人物的命名手法极具艺术性,倾注了作者的个人感情,个中滋味若非母语者很难体会。

例如采用大量谐音等双关语:甄士隐(真事隐)、贾雨村(假语存)、卜世仁(不是人)、甄英莲(真应怜)等,既突出了人物性格,又暗示了人物命运。

这些名字体现了汉语语境下丰富的文化内涵,被翻译成另一种语言,脱离了原有语境后难免会出现信息缺损。

译者在“达”和“雅”之间难免会顾此失彼。

二、翻译理论目前学界比较通行的翻译理论即为翻译的归化和异化。

翻译的归化和异化是由Schleiermacher(施莱尔马赫)提出的。

红楼梦的有趣外文翻译

红楼梦的有趣外文翻译

红楼梦的有趣外文翻译红楼梦的有趣外文翻译红楼梦早在1830年,就有了英文译本,当时,英国皇家学会会员John Davis翻译了《红楼梦》第3回的片段,这是世界上第一个英文节译本。

《红楼梦》的国外传播也从此拉开序幕。

在外国人眼里,红楼梦是一部什么样的书呢?《红楼梦》德文译本作者,德国著名汉学家、翻译家弗朗茨库恩这么评价:“一百年来,《红楼梦》这个名字就像一座陌生的雄伟山岳从虚无缥缈的淡蓝色远方,进入欧洲智慧的视野,同时吸引着人们,使他们感到吃惊。

人们私下里传说议论着这座高山不可征服的岩石裂隙和悬崖绝壁。

内行们暗地里充满惊异,悄悄地说,这真是小说的庞然大物啊!竟有一百多个出场人物!有谁敢于走进它呢?……即使我的翻译不够完整,我也要作为第一位欧洲人去征服《红楼梦》的顶峰……”《红楼梦》是我们民族文学的顶峰,是中华文化的一颗明珠,而外国人通过翻译《红楼梦》,也在力图摘取这颗中华民族文化的明珠。

他们是真诚的,不过,由于中西文化的冲突和隔阂,无论是英文译本,还是德文译本,俄文译本,都存在很多不如意的地方,所以,当我们中国人为更好地理解《红楼梦》而艰苦努力的时候,外国人也在为翻译《红楼梦》而奋斗,都是为了这部人类文学的奇特作品。

下面,我点评一些《红楼梦》的'英文译本,从一个角度,我们可以看到中西文化的隔阂,还有我们《红楼梦》独特的语言魅力,既温习了祖国语文,又能提高一点英文,这是两全其美的有意义的事情。

大家都知道《红楼梦》里的人名,有着独特的学问,一方面,凝聚着祖国语言的魅力,另一方面,又寄托着深刻的含义,外国人翻译《红楼梦》,首先就遇到了翻译人物姓名的障碍,其中,有翻译得不错的,也有翻译的离题万里,甚至相当搞笑。

一、啼笑皆非的英文译名1. 袭人,袭击男人?袭人,在英文译本(杨宪益译本)中,是这样翻译的:Hsi-jen,(assails men),"Hsi-jen"是音译,问题出在()里的注释,本来译者是为了给英文读者解释这个人名的意思。

《红楼梦》在德国的译介与接受概述

《红楼梦》在德国的译介与接受概述

《红楼梦》在德国的译介与接受概述□赵叶莹/文长久以来,《红楼梦》在德国的普及和接受一直都处于不温不火的状态。

本文以德国汉学家弗兰茨·库恩(Franz Kuhn)《红楼梦》德译本的出版时间(1932年)为节点,按照时间顺序对《红楼梦》在德国的译介和接受进行一个整体的概括和梳理,以期为学界的相关研究贡献绵薄之力。

中国最早被翻译成欧洲语言的著作是《论语》《老子》《庄子》《易经》等哲学经典,随后对纯文学作品的翻译才开始跟进。

而在纯文学作品的翻译当中,《红楼梦》也绝不是块“香饽饽”。

德国当代汉学家顾彬(Wolfgang Kubin)曾说,在德国“没有对《红楼梦》的深入而持续的研究”[1],这是事实。

从1842年德国人最早对《红楼梦》只言片语的介绍算起,《红楼梦》在德国的传播已经有整整180年的历史。

在这个漫长的过程中,虽然德国人对《红楼梦》的关注与研究有过几次起伏,但总体说来不温不火,与中国红学研究的兴旺发达相比,甚至可以说颇为冷清。

本文将以《红楼梦》德文译者弗兰茨·库恩(Franz Kuhn)的生活时代为节点,按照时间顺序有重点地对《红楼梦》在德国的译介与接受进行梳理和归纳,以期为后面的研究者提供一些线索和帮助。

1 前库恩时期:介绍为主目前所知,最早介绍《红楼梦》的德国人是传教士汉学家郭实腊(Karl Friedrich August Gützlaff)。

1842年,郭实腊在当时广州出版的《中国丛报》(Chinese Repository)第11期5月号上用英文发表了一篇介绍《红楼梦》的文章——Hung Lau Mung, or Dream in the Red Chamber。

但是郭实腊显然并不了解这部作品,他甚至把宝玉当成“群芳谱”中的一员,唤作“宝玉夫人”(the lady Páuyu)[2]。

此后,《红楼梦》在德国几乎被“打入冷宫”。

1902年,柏林大学东方语言系教授顾路柏(Wilhelm Grube)在其所编纂的《中国文学史》(Geschichte der Chinesischen Literatur)中对《红楼梦》稍有提及。

19世纪瓦尔克、弗罗伊施鲍姆、古特曼、威林和埃斯特拉夫拉等翻译者把《红楼梦》完整地翻译成德语。

他们不仅翻译出了小说的情节,还翻译了红楼梦中的文言文,使得德语读者能够更好地理解小说内容。

四、研究成果从近几的研究成果来看,德语译本的研究取得了长足的进步。

最著名的是由埃斯特拉夫拉在1906年翻译的德语译本。

他的翻译不仅准确,而且具有独特的语言风格,使德语读者能够更容易理解小说的内容。

也有研究发现,19世纪的德语译本比20世纪的译本更有启发性,可以为当前的学者提供译研参考。

五、研究缺口然而,德语译本研究也有一些缺口。

一方面,一些研究者都集中在20世纪以前的译本上,忽略了20世纪以后的译本,从而缺乏对20世纪以后德语译本研究的全面性和准确性。

另一方面,现存的语译本大多是19世纪的,并没有得到充分的研究,仍需要进一步的深入研究,以更好地理解《红楼梦》的含义。

综上所述,《红楼梦》德语译本研究取得了可喜的进展,但也存在一些缺口,仍需要进行深入研究,使德语读者能够更好地理解《红楼梦》的内涵。

中国名著《红楼梦》在国外

中国名著《红楼梦》在国外

中国名著《红楼梦》在国外今年是我国清代著名大文学家曹雪芹逝世249周年。

据报道,《红楼梦》已经持续了上百年,目前,《红楼梦》的译本已有英、法、日、韩、俄、德等20多种国家文字,其中英、日、韩等译本又包括不同译者翻译的多个版本。

据不完全统计,世界上已有上百种不同版本的《红楼梦》译本,仅全译本就有20多种。

在全球出版发行上亿册,拥有数十亿读者。

这说明《红楼梦》这部名著受到了世界许多国家的读者喜爱。

《红楼梦》是十八世纪中叶中国最伟大的文学巨著,它同诗经、屈赋、史记、杜诗、水浒等在中国古典文学史上,形成了绵延不断的现实主义的艺术高峰。

《红楼梦》书中塑造的贾宝玉、林黛玉等许许多多个性独特鲜明、栩栩如生的艺术形象,不仅至今在中国妇孺皆知,而且在世界文坛上也独放异彩。

《红楼梦》是世界文学名著之一,当代美国中国文学教授海托华曾写道:“《红楼梦》其描写范围之广泛,情节之复杂,人物刻画之细致入微,均可与西方最伟大的小说相媲美。

”《红楼梦》最早传入英国。

1830年,英国科学院院土约翰·戴维斯选译了《红楼梦》第三回中的两首词,这是《红楼梦》的最早译文。

1842年,英国驻中国宁波领事馆领事罗伯特·汤姆翻译出版了《红楼之梦》,他只选译了《红楼梦》中的几段,目的是供外国人学习汉语之用。

1868年,英国人波拉从《红楼梦》前八回中译出了若干故事,在上海出版的《中国杂志》上发表。

1892年,曾任英国驻澳门副领事的裘里翻译出版了《红楼梦》前五十六回,书名为《中国小说红楼梦》。

裘里是第一个把《红楼梦》翻译成书的欧洲人。

此前,《红楼梦》一书虽为少数西方人所认识,但只是些零星的翻译。

此后,比较重要的英译本有1927年在纽约出版的王良志译本,1929年在纽约和伦敦分别出版的王际真译本,1957年在纽约出版的麦克休姊妹合译本等。

据王农《简介〈红楼梦〉的一种英译本》一文的介绍,王良志的译本是一个节译本,“译者把《红楼梦》重新加以剪裁,使整个译本变成了贾宝玉和林黛玉的恋爱故事”;在人名翻译上也采取一种“自由式”的意译法,如把“黛玉”译成“黑玉”,“袭人”译成“弥漫着的香气”,“平儿”译成“忍耐”,“鸳鸯”译成“忠实的鹅”等。

《红楼梦》德译书名推敲

《红楼梦》德译书名推敲

︽红楼梦︾德译书名推敲205《红楼梦》德译书名推敲①[德]史华慈(Rainer Schwarz )文姚军玲译从1932年以来,德国读者就知道由弗兰兹·库恩(Franz Kuhn )翻译的中国名著《红楼梦》节本Der Traum der roten Kammer 。

据说,这个节译本在三十年前就已经销售了九万本。

这一个或那一个习惯思索的读者可能会提出这样的问题:der Traum der roten Kammer “红色小房间的梦”到底是什么意思呢欧洲大学出版社出版的第一部德文全译本的尝试,本来是重新研究德译书名的良机,遗憾的是,出版人坐失良机。

他或者根本没有想到,或者认为用读者熟悉的书名,就可以少花一些广告费。

不管怎样,他保留了库恩老版本的书名,只是用…der Roten Kammer …代替了…der roten Kammer …。

这样做,根据德文正字法的规则,就变成了类似德累斯顿的有名“绿色穹顶”(das Grüne Gew lbe )的专有名词。

因此书名就更神秘了。

那么,der Traum der roten Kammer 是什么意思呢?先把中国特有的rote Kammer 放到一边去,考虑一下二〇一〇年第六辑206der Traum der…Kammer是什么意思?梦是脑力活动的一种,事实上只有生物才能做梦,尤其人———这个“万物之冠”———善于做梦。

喜欢狗的人都知道,狗也会做生动的梦。

由此推测,其他的脊椎动物大概也会做梦。

至于无脊椎动物是否会做梦,科学直到现在还没有定论。

在诗歌中,还有另外一种形式的梦:“小溪和湖泊在冰下睡觉,森林在酣梦”这是德国童谣中的梦的描写。

或许rote Kammer“红色的小房间”也同样做梦?梦想过去的黄金时代梦想更可爱的房客?梦想早就该做的修缮?都不是。

为表达谁在做梦、梦想什么、在什么情况下做梦,德语有好几种方式。

第一种是使用简单的第二格来表达谁做梦:Eduards Traum“爱德华的梦”②是指爱德华做的一场梦。

Der Traum der Roten Kammer
Die Qianlong-Regierungsperiode Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts gilt als die Blütezeit der Qing-Dynastie, allerdings entstand schon damals ein Roman, der den Untergang der feudalen Gesellschaft prophezeite und ihn gleichzeitig betrauerte. Dies ist der von Cao Xueqin verfasste Roman "Der Traum der roten Kammer".
"Der Traum der roten Kammer" gilt als ein Monument unter den klassischen chinesischen Romanen. Dieses großartige Roman basiert auf den Erfahrungen, die der Autor Cao Xueqin im Laufe des langsamen wirtschaftlichen Abstiegs seiner Familie gemacht hat und die er in genialer Erzähltechnik und mit Hilfe seiner klassischen Bildung ausformulierte. Cao Xueqins Großvater war ein bedeutender Beamter unter der Regierung von Kaiser Kangxi, daher wuchs Cao Xueqin in einer wohlhabenden Familie auf. Später fiel die Familie Cao in Ungnade und das Vermögen wurde konfisziert. Die Familie Cao zog vom Süden des Landes nach Beijing und der junge Cao Xueqin lebte in armseligen Verhältnissen. Bis zu seinem Lebensabend führte Cao Xueqin ein Leben in Zurückgezogenheit in einem westlichen Vorort von Beijing, wo er unter schwierigen
äußeren Bedingungen die ersten 80 Kapitel seines Romans "Der Traum der roten Kammer" verfasste. Kurz darauf starb Cao Xueqin nach schwerer Krankheit.
Die Manuskripte des Romans "Der Traum der roten Kammer", der auch unter dem Titel "Geschichte eines Steins" bekannt ist, wurden bereits vor dem Tod Cao Xueqins verbreitet. Nach seinem Tod bearbeitete ein Literat namens Gao E den Text und schrieb, entsprechend den von Cao Xueqin hinterlassenen Unterlagen und Skizzen, die letzten 40 Kapitel und vollendete so den Roman.
"Der Traum der roten Kammer" ist ein enzyklopädischer Roman, der Beschreibungen des Lebens aller Gesellschaftsschichten des damaligen China enthält. Es werden sämtliche Bereiche des Alltagslebens von den Aktivitäten der Oberschicht bis zu den Tätigkeiten der normalen
Bevölkerung beschrieben und so ein Überblick über das gesellschaftliche Leben während der Qing-Dynastie geboten.
Im Roman "Der Traum der roten Kammer" beschreibt Cao Xueqin hauptsächlich das Schicksal von vier verschiedenen Adelsfamilien und zwar den Familien Jia, Wang, Shi und Xue. Später fokussiert sich die Handlung auf die Familie Jia und der Hauptschauplatz ist der Garten der
Großen Aussicht (Daguanyuan). Anhand dieses überschaubaren Ausschnitts der Gesellschaft werden die Beziehungen der Familienmitglieder - und hier vor allem der Frauen - zur Außenwelt und auch untereinander detailgetreu geschildert und der Untergang der Familie Jia nachgezeichnet.
Die Schilderung der Figuren in dem Roman ist ausgesprochen gut gelungen. Es werden mehr als 700 Personen beschrieben und über 100 davon sind typische Charaktere. Cao Xueqins Darstellungen der komplizierten psychologischen Befindlichkeit besonders der Hauptdarstellerinnen ist einfühlsam und tiefgreifend. Mit großer Sympathie zeigt er ihre Erwartung an das Leben und speziell ihre Sehnsucht nach Liebe, wobei er sowohl ihre reiche,
tiefgründige Menschlichkeit, als auch die Einengung durch die Umwelt und die traditionelle Gesellschaft ausführlich beschreibt, wodurch die geschilderten Figuren sehr plastisch wirken.
Der Roman "Der Traum der roten Kammer" verfügt über einen beispiellos hohen künstlerischen Wert. Seine Ausdrucksweise, seine Struktur und Charakterisierung der Figuren stellen den
Höhepunkt in der klassischen chinesischen Romanliteratur dar.。
