In order to let fans and research experts know more about the main characters in A Dream of Red Mansions, Huang Ding, the ancient painting prince, released the standard portrait of the characters in A Dream of Red Mansions-Twelve Women in Jinling on April 20, 2009. Twelve women in Jinling each created one work (135cm*48cm), with a total of twelve works. I hope all fans of A Dream of Red Mansions, ancient paintings, official books, netizens and research experts will pay attention to Huang's latest masterpiece in 2009 and put forward valuable opinions.
The standard portrait of a dream of red mansions. The so-called "standard" is that the author has read a lot of descriptions of characters' appearance characteristics in the original works, and then carefully designed and drawn them by combining the characters' personality with the characteristics of costumes and hairstyles at that time. Because the author Huang has studied and studied China's ancient paintings for nearly 30 years, and has a strong knowledge of painting and calligraphy, this masterpiece should be the closest to the original description of A Dream of Red Mansions, so it is called "the standard portrait of the characters in a Dream of Red Mansions".
