| 2/20/26 | 025 - Chapter XXXVII Part 2 | The Dream of the Red Chamber, also known as The Story of the Stone, stands as one of Chinas Four Great Classical Novels—and many consider it the pinnacle of the genre. Within its pages, almost 40 main characters and around 500 minor figures weave a rich tapestry of the Chia familys fortunes. At the heart of the story is Chia Pao-yü, the intelligent yet carefree heir, whose life takes a dramatic turn as his elder sister becomes an imperial consort. This pivotal moment sets the stage for a lush garden, the backdrop for much of the unfolding drama. The complex relationships between Pao-yü, his beloved Lin Tai-yü, and his eventual wife Hsüeh Pao-chai create a narrative filled with intrigue and emotion. However, the Chia familys ascent is met with inevitable decline following the death of the imperial consort and their subsequent fall from grace, leading to the destruction of their opulent mansions and the cherished garden. Originally, the novel comprises 120 chapters, but only 80 were penned by Cao Xueqin before his death in 1764. The Cheng-Gao version, published in 1791 by Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E, sought to complete the story based on Caos notes. While Henry Bencraft Joly translated portions of Caos work, Book II concludes abruptly at chapter 56, leaving readers yearning for more. | 38m 32s | ||||||
