Starting from this, I explore & analyze the meaning nexus of many elements related to the figure of Yuan-chun. First, the bright redness of the pomegranate flower is a simile of the majestic status of Princess Yuan. Second, the pomegranate flower “always blooms after spring”, which hints that the untimely princess-appointment of Yuan-chun further worsens the economic status of the Jia family & thus hastens its decline. Third, the pomegranate flower fully blooms in mid-summer & then declines in the fall, forming a sharp contrast that intensifies a theme of Yuan-chun: After peak comes trough. This paper also discusses the mother-goddess status of Yuan-chun. It is first of all expressed in Yuan-chun’s initiation of the establishment of Prospect Garden & her right to nominate locations wherein, thus giving a symbolic structure (a nomos-morpholism) to Prospect Garden. It also expresses itself in her choice between Bau-chai & Dai-yu.從文本之考掘得知，在《紅樓夢》人花一體之「花文本」中，元春之代表花是為石榴花，而透過情節之互證關涉，更擴延出「石榴花－端午節－女兒節－嫁女思親歸寧－大觀園－元春」之意義脈絡。就其象徵而言，乃借重臺石榴花鮮明紅艷之特點，諭示元春入宮封妃、耀眼非凡之至尊地位；其次則是透過石榴花「開花不及春」之特點，寓涵元春封妃不得其時而使賈府的經濟窘況雪上加霜，造成加速敗落之結果；第三便是由物極必反的邏輯，強化其從盛夏鼎盛到秋節敗滅的高度反差。至於元春所具備的母神地位，不但主導了大觀園之擘建與女兒國之奠立，更在「命名」上展現出至高之權力施為，將整個大觀園都納入到一個由元春所建立的「象徵秩序」與「話語形構」之中；同時也表現於釵黛取捨之決策上，實踐其決定女兒命運的母神功能。特別的是，在「二十年來辨是非」的宮廷生活訓練之下，「才德兼備」之元春所具備的乃是客觀品鑒之才與多元涵容之德，透過對齡官的比照分析，可知元春之性格乃是情理兼備、公私分明，同時蘊含了分殊化原則的「自然的理想主義」，以及普遍化原則的「理性的現實主義」，是《紅樓夢》中二元襯補思維的一種具體顯現。application/pdf916205 bytesapplication/pdfzh-TWthe Dream of the Red ChamberJia Yuan-chun Chia Uan-ch’uenpomegranate flowerProspect Gardenmother-goddess worshipright to nominatechoice between Bau-chai & Dai-yu紅樓夢賈元春石榴花大觀園母神崇拜命名權力釵黛取捨journal article10.6258/bcla.2004.60.04http://dx.doi.org/10.6258/bcla.2004.60.04http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/2006121215550727/1/11600183113011544207010.pdf
