Abstract
This paper comprehensively and deeply probes into the rich features and multi-level symbolic meanings of dream desc riptions in ancient Chinese novels. By carefully combing the literary works from pre-Qin to Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, this paper not only reveals the long history and evolution of dream desc ription in ancient Chinese novels, but also deeply analyzes its unique forms of ex pression and artistic value in different literary periods. In terms of type classification, this paper innovatively puts forward four dream types: desire realization, emotion ex pression, philosophical sustenance, clue dream and prophecy dream. Each type is analyzed in detail through specific novel examples, showing how dreams act as catalysts for plot development, prying mirrors for characters' psychology, and media for philosophical thinking. Further, this paper explores the symbolic meaning of dream desc ription, from the subtle revelation of characters' personalities and psychology, to the obscure ex pression of social reality and criticism, to the profound transmission of philosophical thoughts and life perceptions, as well as the rich display of natural images and cultural connotations, to fully demonstrate the versatility and profound connotation of dreams in ancient Chinese novels. This paper emphasizes that the desc ription of dreams in ancient Chinese novels is not only the use of literary skills, but also the author's deep thinking and artistic ex pression of the spirit of The Times, social reality, nature of humanity and philosophy of the universe. Through the unique narrative technique of dreams, the ancient Chinese novelists successfully constructed a literary world that was both beyond reality and closely connected with reality, leaving precious cultural heritage and rich literary enlightenment for the later generations.
