What folk culture does A Dream of Red Mansions embody?

A Dream of Red Mansions was written by Cao Xueqin, which contains many folk customs of our traditional culture in China.

This book is one of the four classical novels in China, and its status is very high. After all, it took so many years for these four books to come out. This is not an ordinary novel, it is more like an encyclopedia, written by Cao Xueqin after years of hard work. Cao Xueqin's rich family gave him a broad vision of writing.

This book was written in the Qing Dynasty, so many modern people don't understand the folk culture they don't know well. Thanks to Cao Xueqin, we can know the history of folk culture a hundred years ago.

The first is the custom of clothing, because most of the novels in Qing Dynasty are full of customs and culture of clothing, and there are many kinds of materials of clothing fabrics, many of which are extremely precious. Most people don't have materials such as Scarlet Forging, Squirrel Skin, Tianma Skin and Feather Yarn, and Cao Xueqin doesn't know them now, but now he knows a lot after reading A Dream of Red Mansions.

It also reflects the food culture. You are very particular about what you eat and how you eat it. Even in eating and drinking, there are strict customs, such as the direction of sitting, the placement of chopsticks and spoons, and the order of serving. For example, when Lin Daiyu entered Jia's house for the third time, the etiquette was really in place. For example, a little thing, tea came at the front of the opening, and Daiyu came to drink it. She didn't say anything. Later, it turned out that it was actually used by these big families to gargle. The rules are really strict. Besides, there are so many maids, and the ladies have to wait on the old lady here, and their manners are very strict.
