Holographic Images of History and Culture: on Dream of Red Mansions (updated Edition)

About This Novel

There are two heavenly books in the history of Chinese language, the "Book of Changes" and "A Dream of Red Mansions". Rediscover "Red Mansions", rediscover "China"... The emergence of "Dream of Red Mansions" not only marks the subversion of past history, but also marks the rise of a humanistic spirit. The holographic nature of Chinese history and culture is vividly presented in "A Dream of Red Mansions". It has been twenty years since Li Jie's book came out, and it has been published in several editions in mainland China alone. This edition has been expanded to sixteen chapters, and the added content is a long lecture he gave at the University of Berkeley in the Western United States in recent years, that is, the symmetry between "A Dream of Red Mansions" and the Western Renaissance classics, thus making up for ideas that have not been fully developed before. In a certain sense, it not only interprets "A Dream of Red Mansions", but also interprets the background of Chinese culture and the Western culture as a reference.
