Abstract

As one of the ‘Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese Literature’, Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin depicts the various social life based on the complex family relationship in ancient China during the Qing Dynasty with the rise and fall of Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue families as the background. As classic literature, it has specific enlightenment significance to contemporary reality. This paper aims to analyse and explore the Jia House parent-child relationship and educational methods in Dream of the Red Chamber from the Satir Ice berg perspective and give in spiration to modern family education, which can fill the research gap of the past research that only focused on external conditions and educators. Through the analysis of the characterization of the protagonist Jia Baoyu, the educational situation in the Jia House is examined based on the Satir Iceberg Model as a theoretical tool to explore his ‘self’. Finding that Jia Baoyu’s unsatisfied desire due to his father Jia Zheng’s education led to the failure of education— a disharmonious parent-child relationship without love and Jia Baoyu’s downtrodden nature, it can be inferred that modern educators should appropriately satisfy those being educated people’s desires and life pursuits.
