Dream of Red Mansions

"A Dream of Red Mansions" edited by Chen Bin is based on the whole process of the rise and decline of the four major families of Jia, Wang, Shi and Xue, and takes the love tragedy of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu as the main line. It shows a complicated history of the rise and fall of the family, reveals the various human conditions in the end of feudalism, deeply dissects and criticizes the dark corruption of the society at that time, and enthusiastically praises young men and women with rebellious ideas. It has become a great realist work in Chinese classical novels. The classic plots described in the book, such as the wedding ceremony in Yuanchun, Daiyu's funeral, etc., Are full of poetic and picturesque meaning and have been widely read by later generations. The large number of characters created, such as the sentimental Lin Daiyu, the smart Jia Baoyu, the steady and dignified Xue Baochai, etc., Have full images and different styles, and have become immortal artistic images in literature. Through their life experiences, we see not only life dramas of joys and sorrows, and ups and downs of fate, but also an encyclopedia of feudal society.
