1. Yihongyuan: Baoyu (Master Yihong)

Yihongyuan is one of the main scenes of the Grand View Garden in "A Dream of Red Mansions" and the residence of the hero Jia Baoyu. When the exam question was about the forehead, Baoyu was titled "Red Fragrant Green Jade", which refers to the two plants of Jiaotang. During the Lantern Festival, Yuanchun did not like the word "Xiangyu" (because it alluded to Daiyu), so he changed it to "Yihong Kuailu" and named it "Yihongyuan". Baoyu was also named "Yihong Gongzi".

Yihongyuan is Baoyu’s gentle and wealthy hometown, and it is also his main activity space. In addition to the four seasonal poems, there are also many more classic stories and pictures. For example: in the 25th chapter, people separated by flowers are far away and the world is close, in the 26th chapter, Daiyu is crying alone in the flower shade, and in the 31st chapter, Qingwen tears her fan.

2. Xiaoxiang Pavilion: Daiyu (Concubine Xiaoxiang)

Xiaoxiang Pavilion, a scene in the Grand View Garden in "A Dream of Red Mansions", is located on Grand View Garden West Road, far opposite to Yihong Courtyard. The guest house with Jiangnan flavor is the residence where Lin Daiyu stayed in Rongguo Mansion. Jia Baoyu once mentioned a plaque: "There is a phoenix coming to the ceremony". Later, he quoted the allusions of Shun's two concubines of Xiaoxiang, Ehuang and Nvying, and changed its name to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

In "A Dream of Red Mansions", there is a building in the Grand View Garden. The plaque is titled "Hengzhi Qingfen", which is Xue Baochai. 's residence. Baochai also received the poetic title "Heng Wu Jun".

Hengwuyuan is not far from the main hall and beside Qinfang Pond. It is a place that is "tasteless" on the outside but "elegant" on the inside. The author uses the technique of promoting desire first and suppressing it to metaphorize Baochai's thought and character which hides ignorance and clumsiness on the outside, but is naturally lovely on the inside and is close to Buddhism and Taoism.

Cao Xueqin used many literary and artistic techniques in writing "A Dream of Red Mansions", among which the homophony method is one of the highlights of the whole book. For example, "Zhen Yinglian" is homophonic to "Zhen Ying Lian", "Feng Yuan" is homophonic to "Feng Yuan", the four sisters "Yuan Ying Tan Xi" are homophonic to "Yuan Ying Sigh" and so on. The three-character syllable "Heng Wu Yuan" is the same as "Heng Wu Yuan", which means that Baochai has no regrets about sharing the joys and sorrows with Baoyu and finally persuading Baoyu to return to Dahuang Mountain.

4. Qiu Shuangzhai: Exploring Spring (Biao Banquet)

Qiu Shuangzhai comes from "A Dream of Red Mansions". There is no detailed description of the location of Qiu Shuangzhai in "A Dream of Red Mansions" , only mentioning the planting of plantains and sycamores in the courtyard, which has the artistic conception of listening to the rain on a moonlit night. There is a larger hall in this group of buildings named "Xiao Cuitang". Xiaocuitang has corridors on all sides, flowing corners and overhanging eaves, and is adjacent to the Qinfang River. This is the place where Jia Mu had her first banquet in the Grand View Garden.

There is an octagonal pavilion on the earth mountain in the southeast, which is one of the highest points in the garden. Three of the houses in Qiushuangzhai have no partitions, which means exploring spring, and have a style like wandering clouds and wild cranes. The furnishings in the house highlight the word "big". The furnishings are elegant, gorgeous and generous.

5. Daoxiang Village: Li Wan (Daoxiang Old Farmer)

Daoxiang Village, also known as Huange Villa (named by Yuanchun), is one of the Grand View Garden in the novel "A Dream of Red Mansions" written by Cao Xueqin. This building is the residence of Li Wan. Li Wan got the poetic name Daoxiang Laonong from this place.

In order to welcome Concubine Yuan back to the province, the Jia Mansion built the Grand View Garden, a separate courtyard for provincial relatives. There are many scenic spots in the garden, including Daoxiang Village. Different from the splendor and splendor of other buildings in the Grand View Garden, the pastoral farmhouses here have a rural look, which once attracted Jia Zheng to "return to farming."

After returning to the province, the scenery in the garden was "sparse". Concubine Yuan ordered her sisters to live in the garden, so Li Wan "lived in Daoxiang Village". Later, Tanchun started the Haitang Poetry Club and decided to make Daoxiang Village the club. Li Wan also named himself "Daoxiang Old Farmer" because of his residence and became the president.
