• The Dream of the Red Chamber is the best Chinese classical masterpiece written by Cao Xueqin in the eighteenth century. The novel portrays a young hero Baoyu and his beloved Twelve Beauties of Jinling, among whom Daiyu and Baochai are the two main heroines who fall in love with Baoyu with all of their passions and dedication. The metaphors in the Dream are created not only as the basic structure of the novel's settings but also as the motifs serving the main theme : "love is a sea of misery."Through the metaphorical theories we see the metaphors imbedded in the narrative are rich with implication beyond the semantic meaning ascribable to the text. This article is composed of three parts-the characteristics of metaphor, Baoyu's dream of his romantic journey to the Illusion Land, and the mosaic of metaphors of love and desire.
