红楼选梦 Dream of The Red Chamber: 红楼梦古书画集萃Fine Classical Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy (Chinese Edition)

The Dream of the Red Chamber came into birth more than two hundred years ago, and redology more than one hundred years ago. All the time, paintings created by Qing scholars on the Dream of the Red Chamber are little known to the society and the academic circle for paintings can only be seen once in a while. That is why the Dream enthusiasts and researchers have been yearning for intensively appreciating paintings, especially color paintings, themed on the Dream created by Qing scholars.
Since childhood, I have been fond of reading the Dream of the Red Chamber. I feel very close to the collection of ancient paintings and calligraphy of the Red Chamber edited by Mr. Pang Hui. These paintings and calligraphy give me a new understanding of a dream of the Red Chamber.

From cover to cover, this book is full of beautiful paintings and calligraphies on the theme of Dream of the Red Chamber. These are personal collections of Chinese artworks created by literati after the novel Dream of the Red Chamber became popular. They therefore reflect the impressions of literati on the scenes and stories in the novel. A few artifacts are related to Cao Xueqin, author of Dream of the Red Chamber, and his family. All are authentic, high quality artworks. If you love Dream of the Red Chamber, you'll certainly enjoy the artworks in this book!

This book contains many rare and exquisite pictures and calligraphy works about the Dream of Red Mansions and its author, most of which could not be found on Baidu and Google. These vivid pictures brought me back to the storyline of the Dream of Red Mansions, as if I were on the scene, it was a completely new and refreshing experience.

The Dream of the Red Chamber is one of China's great classic novels. I always am interested in the story and all the paintings from the book. This book published with a very good quality. I can tell Mr Pang is a great art collector. Glad I can find it from Amazon.

every page with some Chinese words and painting pictures brings me to that fantasy world hundreds ago. If you are a Chinese culture lover and researcher, this book is an excellent addition on your book shelf. Read, touch and feel it during pandemic makes the inner peace back again.
