How Americans interpret the Dream of the Red Chamber

Throughout the century of development of Red Studies in the United States, Cao Xue is relatively snubbed, and the research specifically for editions is relatively rare, and its research expertise lies in theoretical interpretation and comparative literature. American red science has its own development and inheritance of the vein, the United States red science originally obeyed Hu Shi's "self-legend", Pearl Buck, Shi Jingqian, Brandoal, Andrander all believe that this novel contains many autobiographical materials, Shi Jingqian even "proved Cao with red".

Xia Zhiqing also believes that one of the uniqueness and value of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is in its "autobiographicality". Zhou Cezhong tried to continue and surpass Hu Shi, and eventually developed to Yu Guofan to form an envelopment of Hu Shi's self-legend from the perspective of method, foundation, and Cao Xueqin's creative intentions. The "controversy over the dai dai" in the American red academic circles not only has a distinct continuity and dialogue, but also no one praises the conciliation theory of "the unity of the plutonium and the dai".

The "supporting the nobile" and "embracing the daisy" in the American red academic circles are all implicitly forming a confrontation and debate with the mainstream Chinese ideological trend, and "embracing the west" and "embracing the west" and "embracing the middle" and "embracing the dai" is a positive proportional relationship, that is, the weight of Western literary theory, text and culture is "embracing the dai", based on national psychology, aesthetics and culture. The characteristics of American red science research are:

First, follow the development of disciplines and theoretical updates, and constantly introduce new concepts and methods into the study of "Dream of the Red Chamber".

Second, take the academic journals as the position to conduct mutual evaluation and exchanges, and hold international academic conferences on red studies with clear themes from time to time.

Third, it embodies academic norms that are consistent with Western scholarship. Fourth, american red studies researchers have no shortage of translation and creative experience.
