Scope and Contents

Dream of the Red Chamber-Death of Lin Daiyu 红楼梦- 黛玉离魂 Hong Lou Meng- Dai Yu Li Hun. All music manuscripts were stamped by 曲艺苑 Arts and Performance Center. The story tells that Lin Daiyu hears the sounds of music and cheering from Jia Baoyu's wedding, and she dies of medical complications and a broken heart. This story comes from the novel Dream of the Red Chamber, which provides a detailed, episodic record of life in the two branches of the wealthy, aristocratic Jia clan—the Rongguo House and the Ningguo House —who reside in two large, adjacent family compounds in the capital.
