Joking About the Twelve Beauties of Jinling

"Joking about the Twelve Beauties of Jinling" is a classical style novel with a creative interpretation based on "A Dream of Red Mansions". The work takes the classic female group "Twelve Beauties of Jinling" as the core. On the premise of retaining the character background and historical background of the original characters, the work re-writes the familiar joys and sorrows in the Grand View Garden with relaxed and humorous brushstrokes and a warm and bright tone. The title "Twelve Hairpins of Jinling" itself carries a profound cultural heritage. From the image of "Twelve Lines of Jinling on the Head" in the Southern Dynasty folk song "Song of Water in the River", to Bai Juyi's "Twelve Lines of Jinling" referring to women, to Cao Xueqin finally condensing it into the immortal literary symbol "Twelve Hairpins of Jinling", this name has already transcended the simple concept of numbers and has become a symbol of women's destiny and talent in classical literature. The book is highlighted by the word "play", which is both a tribute to the classics and a re-creation of the classics - not subversion, but a different perspective, allowing those souls bound by fate to live a different life. The core creative concept of this work is: "No magic modification, no vulgarity, I just want to continue to write the warm daily life of Grand View Garden with relaxed brushwork." The author hopes to present the unique style of the Twelve Beauties in a more modern, relaxed and warm way without destroying the spiritual core of the Red Mansion. The word "joking" is not a frivolous joke, but a gentle struggle against the tragic fate of "a thousand reds cry, and a thousand beauties share the same sorrow". It opens a new door to the Grand View Garden, allowing those characters locked by fate to live their true selves in the world of "joking".
