Appreciation of A Dream of Red Mansions A Dream of Red Mansions comprehensively and profoundly reflects the characteristics of the times when feudal society flourished and declined. It does not describe the love story of "wedding candles and being the first"; It is about the love and marriage tragedy between young feudal nobles Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.
The great social significance of the novel lies in that it does not describe this love tragedy in isolation, but focuses on this love and marriage tragedy, writing about the rise and fall of four representative families including Jia's family at that time, exposing all kinds of darkness and evils in the late feudal society and their insurmountable internal contradictions, strongly criticizing the decadent feudal ruling class and the collapsing feudal system, and making readers feel that it is bound to perish. At the same time, the novel also expresses a new hazy ideal by praising the noble rebels.

A Dream of Red Mansions was born at the end of China feudal society in the18th century. At that time, the Qing government closed its doors to the outside world, and the whole country was immersed in Kangxi Qianlong's dream of China going to the whole country. This period seemed peaceful on the surface, but various social contradictions in the bones were intensifying, and the whole dynasty reached a turning point from prosperity to decline.
During the Kang Yong period, Cao Jiazu Sun San worked in Jiangning for 58 years on behalf of four people. In its heyday, the Cao family had done four large-scale pick-up and drop-off of drivers. Cao Xueqin grew up in Nanjing and experienced a rich aristocratic life in his youth. However, the family gradually declined. In the sixth year of Yongzheng (1728), Cao Xueqin returned to Beijing with his family. After returning to Beijing, he worked as a handyman in charge of literature and ink in a royal school, "Right-wing Religion". His family was poor and his life was difficult.
In his later years, he moved to the western suburbs of Beijing, and his life was even poorer. A Dream of Red Mansions was written in poverty after Cao Xueqin went bankrupt. The creation time is from the early years of Qianlong to the thirty years of Qianlong (1736- 1765).
Cao Xueqin is introduced by the author of A Dream of Red Mansions. His name is Zhan, and his name is He Qinpu. He is the author of China's classic A Dream of Red Mansions. The ancestral home is disputed (Liaoyang, Liaoning, Feng Run, Hebei or Tieling, Liaoning), and the ancestral home is Jiangning (now Nanjing). Cao Xueqin was born in Zhengbaiqi Paint Family in Qing Dynasty. He is the grandson of Cao Yin, a weaver girl in Jiangning.
Cao Xueqin has an open mind and a wide range of hobbies. He has studied epigraphy, poetry, painting, gardening, Chinese medicine, darning, craft and diet. With perseverance and years of hardships, he finally created a great work with great ideological and artistic quality-A Dream of Red Mansions. After Cao Xueqin moved to the western suburbs of Beijing, his life became even poorer.
In the twenty-seventh year of Qianlong (1762), his youngest son died prematurely, and he fell into excessive sadness and grief and was bedridden. In the 28th year of Qianlong (1763), he died of poverty on New Year's Eve (12 February).
