《红楼梦》与《西游记》中骷髅意象比较分析
A Comparative Analysis of Skeleton Images in “A Dream of Red Mansions” and “A Journey to the West”

骷髅意象本身在文学作品中就具有超越生死和劝诫世人的意义。在《红楼梦》和《西游记》中更是通过迷惑人心、真假难辨的特性体现出了其劝诫世人的教化作用。不同的是《红楼梦》中道士利用风月宝鉴所传达出的戒色意义更多的是一种男女两性之间的情欲之色，而《西游记》中白骨夫人所传达出的戒色意义则更偏向于摒弃人性贪欲、色迷人眼，认识到人生无常、瞬息万变的真谛，传达出了更为丰富的内涵。
The skeleton image itself has the significance of transcending life and death and admonishing the world in literary works. In “A Dream of Red Mansions” and “A Journey to the West”, its enlightening effect on the world is reflected through its confusing and difficult-to-distinguish true from false characteristics. The difference is that in “A Dream of Red Mansions”, the Taoist’s use of the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror conveys more of a sexual desire between men and women, while in “A Journey to the West”, the White Bone Lady conveys more of a sexual desire that abandons human greed and captivates the eyes, recognizing the true meaning of life’s impermanence and ever-changing nature. It conveys a richer connotation.
