Pictures of the TV drama, Dream of the Red Chamber(红楼梦). It was shot in 1987 and was based on the same-name novel. The novel is a masterpiece of Chinese vernacular literature. Most Chinese consider it the greatest classical novel in ancient China. Almost every family watched this TV drama back in 90s. It is a household word.What impress people most is how much efforts the staff made for this TV drama. They invited scholars and experts for reference of dressing of Han Chinese in Qing Dynasty. They selected actresses with utmost care. They trained these actresses for at least three years only to meet the demeanor and temperament of girls from aristocratic family in ancient China. For example, how to walk, how to sit, how to smile, and how to do calligraphy, these details mattered a lot. I personally think none of the TV drama about ancient China can compete with it. It’s still a fashion legend in China today.And these actresses are truly classical Chinese beauties! -- source link
