The Image-building of Li Meng in Literary Works
In China's literary works, Li Meng is described as a beautiful woman with magic and great wisdom. She often incarnates as a dream figure, establishes contact with human beings and guides them to the right path. At the same time, Li Meng can also be active in the real world, helping mankind to solve difficult problems in life. In A Dream of Red Mansions, Li Meng is portrayed as a fairy from heaven, who interprets dreams for the protagonist Jia Baoyu and helps him achieve the state of self-awakening.
Besides appearing in literary works, Li Meng also has profound symbolic significance. Dreams represent the potential desires and pursuits of human beings, and they are an existence that can lead people to their true selves. Li Can in the dream is also interpreted as a spiritual leader with supernatural power, which can guide people to the road of light and happiness. In the legends of different cultures, we can all see the mysterious existence similar to dreams, which not only embodies people's desire for supernatural power, but also places people's expectations for self-cognition and growth.
