Project Gutenberg 2008-04-27 Public domain in the USA. 223 Langhuanshanqiao, active 18th century-19th century 嫏嬛山樵 補紅樓夢 Bu Hong Lou Meng Produced by Jane Wu "補紅樓夢" by Langhuanshanqiao is a novel written in the late 18th century to early 19th century. This work serves as a continuation of the classic Chinese novel "Dream of the Red Chamber," exploring themes of love, destiny, and the interconnectedness of dreams and reality. The narrative follows the spiritual journey of characters such as 賈雨村 (Jia Yucun) and 林黛玉 (Lin Daiyu) as they navigate the complexities of their existence after death. The opening portion introduces the philosophical musings of characters exploring the nature of emotion and dreams, setting a reflective tone. 賈雨村 is portrayed as awakening from confusion, while his mentor 甄士隱 shares insights about the mystical realm known as 太虛幻境 (The Ethereal Realm). As they discuss the fates of characters from their past, including Lin Daiyu and 許寶玉 (Xue Baochai), the text foreshadows a deeper exploration of the intertwining lives and destinies that span both the physical and ethereal worlds. The narrative blends metaphysical questions with personal stories, engaging readers with both its philosophical depth and emotional richness.
