Correlations between Hong Lou Meng and Foreign Literature:Concurrently on the Development of Post-Postmodernism Literary Trends

There has never been a new alternative framework of literary theory in the wake of the deconstruction of Postmodernism,and this has retarded the development of contemporary literature.The recovering and resuming of the meaning of literature to human emotion and spirit should,therefore,be preceded by reconstruction of the historical context for individual experience.The classical Chinese novel Hong Lou Meng not only boasts the typical narrative mode of Postmodern novels,such as the anticlimactic narration of death,the marginal and alienating aesthetics,and the language experiment,but also goes beyond the narrative style of purely Postmodern novels in that it preserves consistently the implicit enthusiasm that characterizes Romanticism,and that,being richer in content and more appealing aesthetically,it reveals its theme out of textual obscurity,thereby characterizing itself with a multiple and integral style.The success of the novel lies in its comparative perspective of the spiritual Grand View Garden and the material Jia Family.Acclaimed as a masterpiece that incorporates the writing techniques of Postmodernism in the plot,theme and readability of Romanticism and Realism,it has exceeded and transcended the Postmodern literature,therefore representing the post-Postmodernism literary trends.Its poetic representation of love and beauty and its diversified aesthetical tastes have proved successful in establishing the dialogic relations between Chinese novels and the historical context of Chinese literature and culture.This has offered an excellent sample to the turn and reconstruction of literature after Postmodern novels were dethroned.
