The content of this book is based on the illnesses of the characters in the Dream of the Red Chamber. It starts with the physical and mental illnesses such as Lin Daiyu's fragility, Jia Baoyu's insanity, Qin Keqing's illness, Lengxiang Pills, the mystery of the bird's nest, and Jin Chuan's death. It examines the immortal masterpiece "Dream of the Red Chamber" from the perspective of medical cultural history and narrative medicine, and summarizes the three-dimensional structure of individual weakness-family decline-social crisis. The illnesses in "Dream of the Red Chamber" are not just physical troubles, but also mental and psychological pain and struggle, and even the pathology of the entire society and culture. It focuses on people, not the disease itself. I hope this book can also find possible answers to the anxiety that is prevalent in our current society.
本书内容以红楼人物的疾病为角度切入, 从林黛玉的娇弱、贾宝玉的失心疯、秦可卿的病、冷香丸、燕窝迷案、金钏之死等身心疾病问题入手, 用医疗文化史和叙事医学的视角审视《红楼梦》这部不朽名著, 归纳出个体病弱-家族衰亡-社会危机这样的三维结构。《红楼梦》中的疾病并非仅仅是生理上的困扰, 更是精神、心理层面的痛苦和挣扎, 甚至是整个社会和文化的病态。它关注的是人, 而非病症本身。希望这本书也能为我们当下社会普遍存在的焦虑情绪寻找到可能的答案。
