Which dynasty is a dream of red mansions?

A Dream of Red Mansions is a novel written by Cao Xueqin, a writer in Qing Dynasty, also known as The Story of the Stone.

A Dream of Red Mansions is an earthly novel with world influence. It is recognized as the pinnacle of China's classical novels, an encyclopedia of feudal society in China and a master of traditional culture.

The novel takes the rise and fall of Jia, Shi, Wang and Xue as the background, the family affairs of Jia's family and the leisure of boudoir as the main line, and the love and marriage stories of Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai as the main line, depicting the beauty of humanity and tragedy of lovers centered on Jia Baoyu and Jinling Twelve Chai. Through family tragedy, daughter tragedy and the protagonist's life tragedy, the crisis of the last days of feudalism is revealed.

Anonymous sequel says

Wang Pencil Sharpener: The last forty chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions were processed and revised by Cheng Weiyuan on the old version, which means, as he himself said, "make use of the situation to make supplementary corrections".

In February 2007, People's Literature Publishing House published the Collected Edition of Four Classical Novels, among which the third revised proofreading edition of A Dream of Red Mansions was signed as "Cao Xueqin, anonymous continuation, finishing by Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E". Zhou, director of the classical department of the society, said: I'm afraid the word "supplement" should mean supplement, not continuation.

Zhang Qingshan believes that the change of signature has absorbed the latest research results of the authors of the last 40 sequels of The Red Circle, and reflected the rigorous attitude of publishers and organizers.

Zhou believes that it is still impossible to prove that Cao Xueqin must have left the last forty chapters, so he can only use "anonymous continuation" for the time being, expecting follow-up research to answer.

Cheng Weiyuan described the origin of the last forty chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions with "a drum with more than ten volumes". Many people think this is an excuse to prevaricate, but Feng Qiyong thinks that it is impossible to deny this passage without conclusive and sufficient evidence.
