Features: A brief introduction: "A wild tale of madness, a heart-wrenching tear! Though all say the author is mad, who can understand the depth of it?" The well-known Dream of the Red Chamber is a work that embodies the life's effort of Cao Xueqin. The novel, with the tragic love story of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu as its main thread, weaves together the rise and fall of the four great families—Jia, Wang, Shi, and Xue. With its vivid characters and poignant love, it is an eternal classic that is never-ending to read and endlessly to speak of. This book collects 32 outstanding papers presented at the 2004 Yangzhou International Red Chamber Academic Symposium by renowned redologists, serving as an excellent reading material to help us further interpret Dream of the Red Chamber.
