What is a metaphor?

Metaphor is the concept of understanding one thing in terms of another. A metaphor is a figure of speech that constructs an analogy between two things or ideas; the analogy is conveyed by the use of a metaphorical word in place of some other word. For example: "Her eyes were glistening jewels". Metaphor also denotes rhetorical figures of speech that achieve their effects via association, comparison or resemblance (e.g., antithesis, hyperbole, metonymy and simile, which are all types of metaphor).

synopsis The Dream Of the Red Chamber

A sentimental girl sought to repay a "debt of tears" to a young man with a penchant for female companions in a complex web of family and social relationship. This is the theme of China's fascinating and best-loved story, Dream of the Red Chamber (Hung Lou Meng), written by Tsao Hsueh-chin in the 18th Century. The narrative revolves around Jia Pao-yi the hero and his relationship with his many pretty maids and female relatives and friends, in particular the sensitive and frail cousin-love Lin Tai-yi. The novel describes in minute details the day-to-day happenings inside the ducal mansion of the Jia clan with its endless number of kinsfolk and servants, organised into a rigid hierarchy controlled by a dictatorial but benign matriarch. A surreal atmosphere infused the interaction of the main characters as they kept up appearances with lavish spendings while the family's financial and political fortune declined. Servants and relatives all dipped their ha...

Their ancestors were made dukes, and as the novel begins the two houses are among the most illustrious families in the capital. One of the clan’s offspring is made an Imperial Consort, and a gigantic landscaped interior garden, named the Grand View Garden, is built to receive her visit.

Eventually the Jia clan falls into disfavor with the Emperor, and their mansions are raided and confiscated. In the story's preface, a sentient Stone, abandoned by the goddess Nüwa when she mended the heavens aeons ago, begs a Taoist priest and Buddhist monk to br...

Themes The Dream Of the Red Chamber

The novel is normally called Hung Lou Meng or Hóng Lóu Mèng , literally Red chamber dream. Red tower or red chamber is an idiom for the sheltered chambers where the daughters of wealthy families lived. It also refers to a dream in Chapter 5 that Baoyu has, set in a "red chamber", where the fates of many of the characters are foreshadowed. Chamber is sometimes translated as "mansion" because of the scale of the Chinese word but mansion is thought to neglect the flavour of the word "chamber" and it is a mistranslation according to Zhou Ruchang. The name of the main family, Jia is a homophone with the Chinese character jia meaning false, fake, fictitious or sham. Another family in the book has the surname Zhen a homophone for the word real their son is also named Baoyu his name sounds the same as real Baoyu while the hero's is false Baoyu.
