Someone has read Murasaki shikibu's>. Really? Do you know anything about Murasaki shikibu?
Murasaki shikibu, (973? ~ 10 14? ) is a famous Japanese female writer whose real name is Fujiwara. Because her father and brother are both "Ishibe Shinji" (official names), Zhang Min, the heroine in The Tale of Genji, was sung for a period of time, so later generations called her Murasaki Shibei. In Japanese, the word "story" means story or gossip. Fairy tale literature is a kind of classical literature in Japan. Tale of Genji is an outstanding representative of Japanese story literature.
The background of Tale of Genji is a turning point in the aristocratic society of the Heian Dynasty under the rule of the plateau. The novel artistically reproduces the infighting power struggle within the nobility, exposes the decadent evil of the aristocratic ruling class and its inevitable collapse trend, and is a historical picture of Japan's transition from slave society to feudal society.
This novel has 54 chapters and can be divided into two parts. 4 1 was preceded by the first half, and the story of Genji was written. Genji was originally the son of Emperor Tonghu and Ai Ai. Handsome and versatile when he grew up, he was very popular with the emperor. I just found out that he had an affair with the barnacle imperial concubine (that is, Genji's stepmother) and gave birth to a son. Since then, Genji, with his talent and special functions, has been chasing women enthusiastically and has contacted nearly 20 women before and after. But after his half-brother succeeded to the throne, Genji plummeted and was driven out of the mountain. Later, Emperor Lengquan (the illegitimate son of Genji and Barnacle) ascended the throne, and Genji made a comeback, taking charge of the state affairs and enjoying the splendor alone. Unexpectedly, in his later years, Genji's last wife had an affair and gave birth to a son named Xun. The unhappy Genji is regarded as God's retribution. Soon his wife died, and Genji, who had no choice but to become a monk, died soon.
From 42 to the end, the novel is about the love entanglement between Kaoru, the son of Genji, and two young girls and the integrity of another Buddhist family.
Although the novel mainly describes Genji's love life, it does not simply show "cuteness", but reflects the tragic fate of women under polygamy, exposes the corrupt behavior of aristocratic children who love the new and hate the old and play with women, and criticizes the despicable behavior of aristocratic society in using women as political trading tools. The Tale of Genji is nearly one million words, with a large scale of more than 400 words and a time span of 70 years. It is a milestone in the history of Japanese novels and is known as the peak of Japanese literature. It not only has a great influence on the development of Japanese literature, but also occupies a certain position in the history of world literature. It is the earliest novel in the world, more than 300 years earlier than decameron, the first collection of novels in Europe, and nearly 600 years earlier than Don Quixote, the first realistic novel in Europe. This Japanese masterpiece makes extensive use of China's classical poems and quotes more than 90 poems by Bai Juyi in Tang Dynasty. Historical facts in China's ancient books, such as Warring States Policy, Historical Records and Hanshu, often appear in books, which have a strong flavor of China classical literature. Therefore, readers in China will find it more intimate and interesting.
