Features: "A Collection of Essays on the Translation and Criticism of Dream of the Red Chamber," Dream of the Red Chamber is a timeless masterpiece that sings of "no sages before, no sages after!" Most readers of Dream of the Red Chamber would agree with this opinion, and even foreigners who have read the book hold the same view. Slovak translator Marína ?arnogurská, for example, said that it is a symphony of genius in fiction, prose, and poetry, an encyclopedia that encompasses all important aspects of Chinese culture, and a novel that embodies profound life philosophies and worldviews—such masterpieces do not exist anywhere else in the world.
The study of the translation of Dream of the Red Chamber may be considered a case study, but it can draw rich inspiration and resources from the comparative study of two languages, two literatures, and two cultures. By systematically organizing and summarizing these findings with scientific methods, our translation research can be grounded in the solid foundation of contrastive linguistics, contrastive cultural studies, literary aesthetics, and translation poetics. This will enable us to make contributions to the development of translation studies and the translation industry.
