【正文】 ine which says ?if the reader wants to know what happens next, please read the next chapter‘. The line suggests that these chapters were each written separately over a period of time, thus, it functions as a reminder for readers to wait for the next chapter. These were the most developed stages of Chinese fiction writing. And explain what you liked about the book Moreover, the reason for the novel‘s outstanding reputation and distinguishable status is that the novel is ?the direct way to learn about Chinese culture. You cannot read Laozi or Confucius to understand Chinese society and Chinese people, while the book is the shortcut‘. Therefore, the language used for this classical work is between formal and colloquial. In addition, the work was pleted during Qing dynasty which is the last feudal empire in Chinese history, thus, the language is classical but also quite close to modern Chinese。 it is intelligible for Chinese readers without any footnotes. Furthermore, exaggerated expressions are frequently used in the original text to show the author‘s irony towards the society. Another sample answer: what book it was Dream of the Red Mansions, written in the 18th century, is undoubtedly one of the most distinguishable classical novels of Chinese literature. The story has been made into numerous mini series and TV operas. when you read it I have read it (the Chinese version) several times, and have it handy in my palm in case I want to read it. I think I read it the first time when I was in middle school and it was kind of difficult (yes because of the huge number of characters and the subplots and so on). But then it got easier and easier. You have to read it and know the stories and the poems because they are so frequently quoted. why you read it I deeply love the romance between the characters, that‘s why I read it that often. I don39。t know much about the English version but it39。d be definitely difficult to translate this novel into any other languages. I wonder how one can translate the puns which expressed some deeper meaning, or probably the best way is to skip it or giving some footnotes (which will ruin the novel). And explain what you liked about the book The main character is Baoyu (寶玉 ), and his love interest is his cousin Daiyu (黛玉 ), who is the daughter of his aunt (father39。s sister). Baoyu finally marries another cousin Baochai (寶釵 ). Baoyu, before he es to this world, was a rock/jade, and Daiyu a plant. The rock used to water the plant. So Daiyu has to pay back the debt to Baoyu with all her tears in this life. (How romantic.) The poems I like best are the two which foretell their fates in Baoyu39。s dream. And the scene before Daiyu dies, when she buries the fallen flowers, is very very very famous, called 黛玉葬花 . And there39。s another famous poem called 紅豆詞 , which has been made into a song. Just the other day I was listening to it at a fashion boutique. I could go on and on.
