Product Description:
----------------------------------------------
The novel provides a detailed, episodic record of the two branches of the Jia clan, the Rongguo House (榮國府) and the Ningguo House (寧國府), who reside in two large adjacent family compounds in the capital. Their ancestors were made dukes, and as the novel begins the two houses remain 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 Prospect Garden, is built to celebrate this event. The novel describes the Jias' wealth and influence in great naturalistic detail, and charts the Jias' fall from the height of their prestige, following some thirty main characters and over four hundred minor ones. Eventually the Jia clan falls into disfavor with the Emperor, and their mansions are raided and confiscated.
