曹雪芹所著的《红楼梦》乃通过贾宝玉这一自拟形象体现了鲜明的一贯的忏悔主旨 ;而且这种忏悔克服着并消解了一般理解上的“叛逆”思想。作者刻划宝玉的叛逆性格时 ,概念是模糊的 ,有时是不确定的 ,但通过宝玉形象作“深自忏悔”的意向是明确的 ,清晰的。高鹗并未能清晰地把准曹雪芹的忏悔主旨 ,这使得他的续书必然地无法达到曹雪芹前 80回的成就 The “Dream of Red Mansions” by Cao Xueqin embodies the clear and consistent principle of confession through the self-made image of Jia Baoyu, and this confession overcomes and resolves the “rebellious” general understanding. When the author characterizes the rebellious character of Baoyu, the concept is vague and sometimes uncertain. However, the intention of “deep self-confession” through Baoyu’s image is clear and definite. Gao Lian did not clearly approve Cao Xueqin’s conception of repentance, which made his sequel inevitably fail to achieve Cao Xueqin’s first 80 achievements
