| Summary | "青樓夢" by Da Yu is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a richly depicted world of courtesans in Wu region and centers around the character Jin Yixiang, a gifted poet and scholar who navigates the complexities of love and society while forming connections with various women of the time. The book explores themes of romance, ambition, and the contrasts between societal expectations and personal desires. The opening of the novel introduces Jin Yixiang, who is portrayed as a talented and sensitive individual, yearning for a romantic connection amidst societal constraints. After engaging in light-hearted discussions with friends about the merits and pitfalls of pursuing relationships with courtesans, he decides to explore the vibrant world of the "green towers," symbolizing the brothels where these women reside. During the narrative, Jin Yixiang's interactions with his companions reveal his passion for poetry and eloquence, highlighting the allure of the women he admires. His encounters manifest his internal struggles with unrequited love and societal conventions, setting the tone for the unfolding tale of both personal aspirations and the complex dynamics within this unique slice of society.
