Features: This monumental work was created by Mr. Zhang Zhi over ten years, following the foreshadowing in the first eighty chapters of Dream of the Red Chamber, based on the annotations of Shi Yanzhai, and referencing the achievements of red studies. It has had a wide influence both in China and abroad. However, in terms of format, it does not include the numerous Shi Yanzhai annotations that readers can use to deepen their understanding of the main text, as seen in the first eighty chapters of Dream of the Red Chamber written by Cao Xueqin. The annotated edition of A New Continuation of Dream of the Red Chamber makes up for this shortcoming, providing readers with a wealth of information to comprehend the book.
