Research On The Whole Book Reading Teaching Of A Dream Of Red Mansions From The Perspective Of Narratology

After the promulgation and implementation of the Chinese Curriculum Standards for Ordinary High Schools(Revised in 2017 and 2020),Dream of the Red Chamber has officially become a teaching content in the "Whole Book Reading and Discussion"learning task group.Scholars and teachers are actively exploring teaching strategies for reading the entire book Dream of the Red Chamber from both theoretical and practical perspectives.Narratology is a discipline that explores the essence,form,and function of narrative through the study of stories,narrative discourse,and narrative behavior in narrative literary works.The theory of narratology has been introduced into China since the 1980s,and its important theoretical elements,such as the narrator,narrative perspective,narrative structure,and narrative timing,have played an important theoretical and practical guiding role in the field of high school novel reading teaching.As the pinnacle of narrative novels,Dream of the Red Chamber has profound literary and educational value in its narrative art.Therefore,from the perspective of narratology,exploring the entire book reading teaching of Dream of the Red Chamber plays an important role in guiding reading teaching practice,improving students’ core Chinese literacy,and meeting the physical and mental development needs of high school students.Although the whole book reading teaching of Dream of the Red Chamber has become an important high school Chinese curriculum content,the results of the whole book reading teaching of Dream of the Red Chamber have not been satisfactory in recent years.Through investigation and research on the practical application of narratology in the reading teaching of the entire book Dream of the Red Chamber,it was found that there are three major problems and reasons at the student level:a lack of sufficient time leading to utilitarianism in the reading process,a lack of narratology cognition leading to passivity in the reading state,and a lack of awareness of the use of narratology theory leading to shallow learning levels.And there are three major problems and reasons at the teacher level:insufficient understanding of narrative theory,lack of correct methods for using narrative theory,and lack of guidance leading to insufficient communication between teachers and students.The survey results should be taken seriously,and the construction of effective teaching strategies is also urgent.clarify the narrator and explore complex discourse narratives;expand narrative perspective and analyze three-dimensional characters;clarify the narrative sequence and sort out plot clues;grasping the narrative structure and understanding the thematic implications,these four teaching strategies can help teachers overcome the current dilemma of reading and teaching the entire book Dream of the Red Chamber.According to the actual situation and the requirements of the curriculum standards,the teaching design for the entire book reading of Dream of the Red Chamber from the perspective of narrative studies should be divided into four stages:introduction class,intensive reading class,seminar class,and activity class.Each teaching stage has corresponding teaching objectives and tasks.The ultimate task of all goals and tasks is to promote students to experience the narrative art of Dream of the Red Chamber through a series of independent,cooperative,and exploratory language practice activities in the real context of the text of the Dream of the Red Chamber.During this period,they continuously use narrative theory to construct the entire book’s reading experience and comprehensively improve their Chinese language literacy.
