The writer who first pointed out a dream of red mansions broke through the traditional method of writing characters.

Lu Xun was the first writer to point out that A Dream of Red Mansions broke through the traditional writing style. In the book A Brief History of Chinese Novels, this paper makes an in-depth analysis of A Dream of Red Mansions and points out its uniqueness. Lu Xun believes that A Dream of Red Mansions no longer focuses on shaping a single character, but promotes the development of the story by depicting the relationship between characters, which is not common in traditional novels at that time. The language in A Dream of Red Mansions is subtle and natural, which breaks the previous model of exaggeration and lack of tempering in novel language.
