The Complete Modern Version of Dream of Red Mansions

Dream of Red Mansions itself is a vernacular novel, but many people still cannot read it. The main reason is that ancient people and modern people speak in different ways, which leads to difficulty in reading. So in March, after my "Journey to the West Modern Complete Edition", which included the three "Journey to the West" books from the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, was completed, readers strongly requested me to translate and rewrite Dream of the Red Chamber. So starting from March, I studied many ancient books, and finally got a rough understanding of the entire historical content of the Dream of Red Mansions. Starting today, I will try to translate and rewrite it. If there is anything wrong, you are welcome to correct me in the article. Thank you all. This article is based on the Cheng Yi version, the Zhiyanzhai Jiaxu version as a reference, and other versions as references. It is translated word for word and sentence by sentence like the "Complete Modern Edition of Journey to the West", striving to be word-for-word. All poems will be placed intact and then translated later, and special content will be annotated based on history. Differences, errors, and contradictions between versions will be pointed out. It is better to listen to this book with Pomodoro.
