Seeking the Dream
Scene twelve: Du Liniang goes back to the garden to look for the dream she has lost
Mural guide
By a Taihu rock and curved railing a young lady role in a pale-green robe stands half turned, water sleeves hanging low, a musician on a stone stool nearby plays the bamboo flute, and in the foreground a swallow perches on a willow branch.
Scene twelve of the original. Du Liniang goes back to the garden to look for traces of the dream, her longing deepening. It is an important piece for the guimen dan role, with graceful melody and delicate movement.
