	Chinese Classical Furniture Collectioon - the "Dream of Red Chamber" sofa set
		Having been a frequent dinner guest at the People's Congress of China, my father learned that there was a sofa set being commissioned by the People's Congress to be used in the guest hall, mainly used for receiving foreign government officials.
		It was said that the sofa set took 5 years to complete, and each piece was carved with different scenes from the classical Chinese novel, "Dream of the Red Chamber".
		During the process, three partially completed pieces had to be thrown away because there were some minor errors made to the scene from the novel of "Dream of the red chamber" that each chair had been carved with.

	Dream of the Red Chamber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Of these, Dream of the Red Chamber is often taken to be the zenith of classical Chinese fiction.
		"Red Mansion" was an idiom for the daughters of rich men; thus the title can be understood as a "dream of rich young women".
		It can also be understood as referring to a dream that Baoyu has - in a "Red Mansion" - at the beginning of the novel, where the deaths of many of the female characters are foreshadowed.

	The Golden Days (The Story of the Stone, or The Dream of the Red Chamber, Volume 1) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Review: The Dream of the Red Chamber (The Story of the Stone) starts off as an immensely long inscription on a miraculous stone which was copied out by a visiting man and taken down into the world for publication.
		Aside from the ethereal origin, the first volume of The Dream of the Red Chamber depicts a fairly eventual record of a great Manchu household (Qing Dynasty) under the tutelage of the Imperial family in early 18th century China.
		This idea of life being a dream from which one eventually awakes is a Buddhist tenet, but the incorporation of it into the novel becomes a poetic gesture to demonstrate that the main character (Baoyu) is indicative to the author.

	Classics Revisited (7) (Rexroth)
		The Dream of the Red Chamber is Taoist; its principle of salvation is inaction — wu’wei: the strength of the still keystone in the arch; the water wandering amongst mountains, seeking its own level, eventually wearing away the highest peaks.
		The most profound human relationships; the deepest psychological insights; the most intense drama; the revelation of the moral universe in trivial human action, in the simple narrative of ordinary happenings — greatness of heart, magnanimity (“human-heartedness” is the Chinese term) is the substance from which the narrative is carved.
		The Dream of the Red Chamber is haunted by the faint odor of night soil from which a hundred flowers spring.

		Notes on The Dream of the Red Chamber
		It was conscious of the existence of an eternal world, and it was hurt at not having been called upon to accomplish its divine mission.
		The Dream of the Red Chamber seems to be infected with romantic notions; specifically, where Sorrows of Young Werther" employs nature to express the feelings of the protagonist (Ruskin's "pathetic fallacy") denies its status as trope or literary device, to lay claim to being real.

	Chinese Literature - Novels and fiction - Hongloumeng ç´æ¨“å¤¢ "The Dream of the Red Chamber" ...
		With a loving detail describing the life of the two cousins in a huge noble mansion, between gardens and palaces, the red thread is the triangular love between Baoyu, Daiyu and a second girl cousin called Xue Baochai è—å¯¶éµ that is of more plumper character than the ever sick Daiyu.
		Switching between their life, the divine world and dreams, Baoyu becomes deranged after the disappearance of a stone (the origin of the second title) he had in his mouth when he was born.
		With hundreds of persons and their stories, paralleling the life and feelings of servants to the life of the main persons, the story is very complex and full of symbolisms, but very interesting and convincing for its encyclopedic character, depicting the life of a noble familiy in the 18th century Qing China æ¸.

	Hong Lou Meng
		WAKING from a dream, says the Author of the book, I determined on enveloping maters of fact in allegory, and I availed myself of the story of the 'Amulet' to compose the 'Stone Record.' It will be seen that the names of the characters, as Zhen Shi Yin, 'Hidden Truth,' and others, are allegorical.
		The frequent recurrence of the word dream and other words of kindred import in the book, is in accordance with the origin of the work, and is intended to remind the reader of the author's intent.
		Seeing his child more than usually endearing and pretty he half forgot his dream in his paternal joy, and taking the child in his arms, he fondled and played with her awhile, then carried her to the door to amuse her with the bustle of a passing procession.

		The Yangs' translation of "A Dream of Red Mansions" is extremely accurate.
		The prose is flat, the puns of the original are translated literally, rather than being approximated as in the Hawkes-Minford version, and on the whole, the flavour of the original Chinese text is missing.
		The Yangs' works could be serviceable (as in their decent Lu Hsun) but this version of "Dream of the Red Mansions" is embarassingly outclassed by a far superior and more idiomatic rendition: David Hawkes's version is simply unparalleled and a labor of love.
