Looking Back at the Century: the Memory of Contemporary Redology (academic Library of the Chinese Academy of Arts)

About This Novel

This book is a "self-selected collection", divided into four volumes. Volume 1, reading and discovery. The main content is "A Dream of Red Mansions" and the development history of ancient Chinese families and the influence of the Cao family's family history on the novel. The basic point of view is that the object of reading and research should be the text. At the same time, it is emphasized that the 120 chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions" are a complete system. The authors of the last forty chapters are not Gao E and Cheng Weiyuan. They have made meritorious service in spreading "Dream of Red Mansions" rather than forging fake books for profit. The second part of this volume emphasizes that the study of red studies should pay attention to the excavation, collation and annotation of Cao family archives and edition materials. Volume 2, characters and moods. The author interprets the identity, cultural accomplishment, character traits, and fate of the nine female characters from the psychological description, mood, and body language of the characters, and analyzes the role and typical significance of these female characters in the novel. This breaks the rigid model of previous character studies in "A Dream of Red Mansions" and is considered an innovation by readers and critics.
