Criticism on the keywords in the joint title of four great classical novels and the significance in the reading history
Readers over the past dynasties have attempted to rename Romance of the Three Kingdoms,Water Margin,Journey to the West and The Golden Lotus as the four great classical novels,which shows the reader reception of antient popular zhanghuiti-style fictions.Based on the specific social situation,the joint name of these four great classical novels often limits the possibility and feasibility of interpretations for the meaning symbols of popular zhanghuiti-style novels.This not only limits the way of criticism among the later common people,but also affects the logic of their interpretation practice.The criticism on the keywords of the four great classical novels is not only a critical judgment,but also a kind of human cognitive perspective,and a kind of critical behavior.While promoting a certain degree of group habitus,this criticism changes the ways of comprehension and opinion generation when the readers read the texts,eventually forming a paradigm of interpretation.This interpretation paradigm conversely restricts the readers from reading freely.The discussion about the significance of reading history for the joint title of the four great classical novels should not only emphasize the collective expression of text interpretation made by the cultural and educational ecology of the previous dynasties,but highlight the hard efforts made by the individual readers.
