Wang Guowei's three realms of life referred to three different stages of life: Last night the west wind withered the green trees. I alone climb the tall tower and look at the road to the end of the world. My clothes and belts are getting wider and wider, and I don't regret it at all. Looking for him in the crowd thousands of times, suddenly looking back, that person is in the dim light. These realms were usually used to describe a person's psychological state when pursuing their ideals and goals, as well as the difficulties and setbacks they encountered in the process of achieving these goals. These realms were also one of the important legacies of traditional Chinese culture.
The three stages of literature proposed by Wang Guowei referred to the development process of Chinese classical literature, namely the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. The first stage was the prosperity of literature in the Tang, Song, and Yuan Dynasties. The Tang poetry, Song prose, and Yuan novels represented a variety of literary styles, forming a unique literary school and artistic style. The second stage was the Ming and Qing novels, which reached the peak of the novel creation in this period. Among them, works such as "Dream of the Red Chamber" and "Water Margins" described the true face of social life and showed the complexity and variety of human nature. The third stage was the modern literature. The literature of this period began to reflect on the past, pay attention to reality, and explore human nature and social problems. Representative works include Lu Xun's "Madman's Diary" and "The True Story of Ah Q", Lao She's "Camel Xiangzi" and so on. Wang Guowei believed that Chinese literature had experienced a transformation from ancient times to modern times. The literature of each period had its own unique characteristics and contributions, and it was an indispensable part of the development of Chinese literature.
The three realms in Wang Guowei's "Ci Hua of the World" came from the author of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Cao Xueqin. The meaning represented was as follows: Last night the west wind withered the green trees. Alone on a tall building, I look at the end of the road. Climbing High This realm came from the "Dream of the Red Chamber", which expressed the poet's mood of climbing high and looking down at all things from afar and sighing at the short life. My clothes and belts are getting wider and wider, but I don't regret it at all. I'm so haggard because of my disappearance. "Butterfly Loves Flowers-Spring Scenery" This realm was derived from Dream of the Red Chamber, where the protagonist worked tirelessly in pursuit of love, not caring about his body and mind, and finally reached the realm of forgetting both body and mind. I've searched for him thousands of times in the crowd. Suddenly I look back, but that person is in the waning lights. Sapphire Case: Yuan Xi This realm came from Dream of the Red Chamber, which showed the poet's continuous search and continuous efforts in the process of pursuing love. Finally, at an unexpected moment, he found the answer he was looking for in his heart.
The three realms of life referred to the three stages of "inaction","non-action","non-beginning", and "non-end" in Taoism. They were also called the three stages of "infant, adult, and old". The "inaction" stage refers to people in a state of chaos without goals and direction. People in this stage usually do not know how to control their desires and actions. The stage of "doing everything" refers to people beginning to realize their existence and mission and consciously pursuing their goals and wishes. At this stage, people have learned to control their desires and behaviors and began to contribute to society and mankind. The stage of " no beginning and no end " refers to people surpassing their personal interests and desires to pursue a higher realm. They believe that everything has a beginning and an end, but they should surpass these boundaries to reach an eternal and unchanging realm. At this stage, people already know how to transcend the secular world and pursue spiritual improvement.
