Five of Mao Zedong on the "Golden Lotus"

In a book to the Ming dynasty Longqing Wanlinianjian the "Golden Lotus", is the first chapter of the world social situation novels. Through its novel "Outlaws of the Marsh" in describing the story of Xi Men-qing and Pan Jinlian, to extend a story, written entirely Town civilian life, detailed portrait of the bureaucracy, bullying, a wealthy businessman in-one on behalf of the feudal evil forces from Faji Xi Men-qing To the violent death of the evil history of life, wrote that the Song Dynasty, as the author of the Ming dynasty in which "contemporary history", the late Ming Dynasty profoundly exposed the dark corrupt political and social realities. Mao Zedong-love reading the comments, he has five evaluation of the "Golden Lotus." The first time was in 1956. February 20 when Mao Zedong in listening to work reports of heavy industry sector, with Miles and others referred to in the statement: "," Outlaws of the Marsh "is reflect the prevailing political situation," Golden Lotus "to reflect the economic situation at that time," Hung Dream House, "our ancestors, can not see." The second time was in 1957. Fully affirmed the Mao Zedong's "Golden Lotus" literary value and the value of sociology, personally decided on the "Golden Lotus" in the small-scale lifting of the ban, Mao Zedong said: "" Golden Lotus "for reference, the book is insulting the circumstances of poor women . The provincial party secretary can look at. " Thus, the Ministry of Culture, the Central Propaganda Department, after consultation with the publishing sector, "literary books published Society" in the name of the October 1933 "Lost novels published ancient Beijing will" fund-raising copy of the "new Golden Lotus carved the word," and re-photocopying By 2000. These objects of the issue is: the provinces provincial party secretary, deputy secretary of the same level as well as the ministries and deputy ministers. Photocopy of the "new Golden Lotus words engraved words" two-letter 21, the body of 20, 200 for a series of illustrations. Each of the acquisition of all registered, and for the number. The third time in two years. December 1959 to February 1960, Mao Zedong read in the Soviet Union "political economics textbooks," a talk, "Golden Lotus" and "nations-the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" to be compared. He said that only the latter, "wrote the superstructure of the complex at the time of acute struggle, shortcomings is not the time to write the economic base" and "Golden Lotus" Quegeng profound, "the feudal social and economic life to expose the contradictions, and expose rule And the contradictions of the oppressed, the "Golden Lotus" is written very meticulous. " Fourth in 1961. Mao Zedong on December 20, 1961 of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau Standing Committee and all major areas, first secretary of the meeting, said: "China's social and historical novels written only three:" A Dream of Red Mansions "," Liaozhaizhiyi "," the bottle Mei. "You read the" Golden Lotus "no« I recommend you look at this writing the real history of the Ming Dynasty. Exposed the feudal rule, the rule has exposed the contradictions and the oppressed, some of it very carefully. "Gold bottle - "" A Dream of Red Mansions "of her ancestors, not the" Golden Lotus "Xie Buchu" A Dream of Red Mansions "." Dream of Red Mansions "is very carefully written in the history of very fine, but the" Golden Lotus "no respect for the author Women. " Mao Zedong himself as the "Golden Lotus" as "the true history of the Ming Dynasty" to read. He's evaluation, is very deep. Economic base and the superstructure of contradictions, is the basic contradictions of social development, seize the economic basis of this fundamental aspect of the superstructure will be able to reveal the reasons for the change or struggle to grasp the general trend of social development. Fifth in 1962. Mao Zedong in August 1962 in the central work meeting on the core group of the conversation, again, "Golden Lotus" and "bureaucratic Xianxing mind" to compare. He said: "Some stories, such as" bureaucratic Xianxing ", a dark-written, as condemnation of Lu Xun's novel. Only to expose the dark, people do not like to see." Golden Lotus "does not spread, not only because it's obscene, Is it only exposed the dark, although written in good, but people do not love. "Dream of Red Mansions" is different, write them a little hope. " "Golden Lotus" is defined as "condemn novel," Mao Zedong is the first person! Condemns the most novel feature is exposed. "Golden Lotus" is a literary expose the structure. The author of an era of an ancient brain all the ugly flip inverted in broad daylight, the unscrupulous to expose an era of Yu defeated. Those men and women in the skin to a fall-out-and-out great exposure, Tongkuailinli to draw the one China in the 16th century, "Riverside Scene of Pure Brightness." "Golden Lotus" world, did not diligently pursue the moral character, not the political ideal of the heroic dedication, only the pleasures of wealth and endless desire to achieve self-worth and the hysteria of the struggle. "Golden Lotus" did not write the United States, did not write a bright and hope, not from the United States has not found a pair of eyes, but in that era in which he was too dirty. Mao Zedong was very values "Golden Lotus" and repeated the evaluation, is to "Golden Lotus" realism, it is the country's social reality and fiction for the jungle. "Golden Lotus" before the Chinese novel, or reproduce the emperor would be the situation of performance, or compliment Caomangyingxiong heart Bing Zhongyi, or about Xianfoshenmo the singular act of these unusual obviously far from the reality of the general public Life. "Golden Lotus" wrote the Town is the real daily life of civilians, as Zhang Qing Dynasty bamboo slope in the "Golden Lotus criticized the first Great Classical Novels read," said: "There seems to be a pro-one had written, in Qinghe County , Simon home. Big and small,前前后后, dish bowl infants children one by one of the mind, it really has happened, not that the parade T extension of the paper done. "On the daily life of such meticulous Miaomo in China Fiction is no precedent in history. Only careful, only more true more broadly reflect the prevailing social life. Liu Jixing research, the history expert Wu Han as early as the 1930s, wrote that: "Golden Lotus" reflect the political, economic, cultural, customs, etc., is a social history of the late Ming. Now, the "Golden Lotus" the value has been widely recognized, both "American Encyclopedia", or the former "Soviet Encyclopedia Dictionary" or "the French Encyclopedia," or that "Golden Lotus" is China's first reality Novels.
