Dream of the Red Chamber part 2 is here! We talk with two wonderful scholars (@chowleen and Wai-yee Li) about their reading of the book and what its relevance is today.

Daiyu is definitely a hedgehog! Baochai - a bit harder to say... #readingthestone
@chowleen @CyberPinkFM @nyrbclassics But vulpine limits are made to be broken! (I am now wondering to myself, between Daiyu and Baochai, which is the hedgehog, and which is the fox?)
I will be in Princeton next week for the public defense of Tsz-kit Yim's fine dissertation on "Classical Chinese Novels and Global Media Climate: Ecological Form, Affective World-Making, and Infrastructural Network" - join us if you happen to be on campus!

I forgot I had these. Until 15 minutes ago! Grandma’s attic is the best source of Christmas surprises. Happy reunion! #hlm #readingthestone #红楼梦
What magnificent blossom! These edible flowers’re prized in Southeast China as a key ingredient for a rice wine dessert. In HLM, 桂花 (Osmanthus fragrans) is a recurring symbol. Aroma, Bayou’s head maid, is symbolized as 木樨 (桂花）in chap 28 #readingthestone
Katharine Serena Ford Laird, born one spring equinox and sailing away in the fall - safe travels, my beloved Kate.
#Readingthestone community, this was our stalwart @ShortNoticeRom, with her witty comments on HLM and knowledge of seal skin values in 18th c. Eurasia. 💔

A Red Chamber spin-off... by Lin Yutang, no less! 😁

Reading The Goose rather than #readingthestone - but have missed you all and please join this book conversation if interested! -e
#TheBookofGoose by Yiyun Li
Very much look forward to chatting about a favorite book by a favorite author: #TheBookOfGoose by Yiyun Li @fsgbooks.

However: the 'red mansion' in Yang Shuang-zi's fiction wouldn't look much like the Jia family's mansions in #紅樓夢 #ReadingtheStone
It's a Minnan-style sanheyuan, in the Taichung area. Lovely collection of sanheyuan photos by Harry Huang here on flickr:

The story is set in and around a 大紅厝 ‘big red house’ which of course I translated as ‘red mansion’. 🤓 And some of the characters play the game 鬥草 or 鬥百草 which Handan @BridgeWeShall posted about back in May. https://t.co/k2nWoyyQD2
The fourth piece in the series is out and the #紅樓夢 #ReadingtheStone references are escalating! @readingthestone
'Food and Memory' by Hong Ying 虹影, tr. George Dudley @PaperRepublic

But maybe fellow Stonereaders will enjoy one of the translations I was working on. It’s a short story by Taiwanese author Yang Shuang-zi and there are a few #紅樓夢 #ReadingtheStone references/connections in it.

The Bug Princess is here! Sink your teeth into a 'juicy and fragrant' story by Taiwanese author Yang Shuang-zi, no. 3 in the @PaperRepublic 'Food Glorious Food' series.

@BridgeWeShall Easiest is a simple tug-of-war for two using leaf stems, as illustrated.
In Story of the Stone they play an advanced, literary version, matching the names of plants as though they were antithetical couplets. #ReadingTheStone

Thank you Peter! I've been trying to archive most everything discussed on #readingthestone and @readingthestone onto https://t.co/JuJvrzz8D3; and the past year's ch-by-ch chats are on apple podcasts, spotify, buzzsprout etc.
@_ryanruby_ you might enjoy listening in as you read
Quick look-up aid, version 2.0, that I’ve been using for the Story of the Stone chats. Can’t wait for the themed discussions. #readingthestone @readingthestone
Taking a break from regression. #readingthestone
This srping game of Floral Duel comes in two forms, the brawny and the brainy. Chap62 of HLM lends an example of the brainy fight. The intricacies in 琵琶/枇杷 is just impossible to replicate. Of the names, I love 星星翠. May you enjoy May! #readingthestone
Sorry that we were entirely too busy with the BU Hongloumeng conference (which was fantastic) to find a time to record or organize a meeting.
But watch this space, we'd like to do the first of our thematic #ReadingTheStone 'reunions' on the subject of multimedia adaptations!
@readingthestone Is this Saturday still on? live from Boston sounds exciting!
Fabulous first day of the Dream of the Red Chamber symposium - especially the wonderful @BU_Tweets student panel! And tomorrow- a conversation with David Henry Hwang 💙
#ReadingTheStone
(Third weekend in a row of conferencing - and one more next weekend - but happy not to be hosting or organizing! Grateful to BU colleagues for planning this whole event and having me along for the ride ❤️) #readingthestone
#ReadingTheStone friends!
Back in Boston today - for the Fifth "Big Fat Books" Symposium - this time on #紅樓夢 The Story of the Stone.
On Saturday, Cathy Yeh and I will be in conversation with a longtime hero of mine - the playwright @DavidHenryHwang!
