The Dream of the Red Chamber, also known as The Story of the Stone, stands as one of Chinas Four Great Classical Novels and is often hailed as the most remarkable among them. With nearly 40 principal characters and around 500 supporting figures, the narrative intricately weaves the fortunes of the Chia family. At the heart of the tale is Chia Pao-yü, the intelligent yet carefree heir apparent. The familys wealth escalates when Pao-yüs older sister becomes an imperial consort, leading to the creation of a magnificent garden that serves as the backdrop for much of the story. The intricate relationships and rivalries among Pao-yü and his cousins—especially his deep affection for Lin Tai-yü and the eventual marriage to the cunning Hsüeh Pao-chai—form a captivating core of the narrative. However, the Chia familys glory begins to wane with the death of the imperial consort and their subsequent fall from the emperors grace, culminating in the destruction of their opulent mansions and cherished garden. The novel comprises 120 chapters, though only the first 80 were penned by Cao Xueqin before his death in 1764. The remaining chapters were completed by Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E, who published the Cheng-Gao edition in 1791. The first volume includes the initial 24 chapters, while the second volume concludes abruptly at chapter 56, and a third book was never released.Copyright Fiction Classics アート 世界 文学史・文学批評
