Relationships Between the Grand View Garden and the Characters’ Personalities from a Spatial Perspective

The Grand View Garden in A Dream of Red Mansions was built for Yuanchun’s paying visit to her parents and elders.From the spatial perspective, one can examine the living environment of the main figures in the Garden and their characters.And this Garden consists of three worlds:the world of Baoyu, Daiyu and Miaoyu who devote all their own to their love, the world of Yuanchun, Baochai and Li Wan who insist on their rationality, and the world of Tanchun, Xichun and Yinchuan who believe in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism respectively to pursue their soul liberation.In the novel, the writer has not opposed the three worlds completely, and absolutized them either.This donates the novel with diversified tridimensional character and clear layers.This Garden is in fact a tomb built by the writer for girls to bury the flowers.
