Telling Chinese story well" cannot merely rely on Confucian classics, for literary classics has a congenital advantages in
this aspect, which can spread Chinese culture along with Confucian classics. Chinese classical works are widely spread in Korea, but A
Dream in Red Mansions is experiencing two extremes: ordinary people seldom know about this book, not to mention any experience of
reading it; however in Korean academia, this book is so hot that the number of research articles on it is more than those of the The
Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West and The Water Margin, ranking the first in the research of Chinese novels. In order
to promote the popularity of A Dream in Red Mansions among ordinary Korean people, the reasons why its spreading is impeded should
be found out and corresponding countermeasures should be taken to facilitate the "going out" of Chinese culture.

Key words: A Dream in Red Mansions, spread in Korea, impeding factors, countermeasure
