Cao Xueqin's grandfather, Cao Yin, was a close associate of Kangxi. Three generations of his grandfather and grandson were responsible for weaving in Jiangning for 60 years. The Cao Mansion was as grand as the Jia Mansion in "A Dream of Red Mansions". At the end of the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, when Cao Xueqin was 13 years old, his family was dismissed for crimes and their property confiscated. Cao Xueqin moved back to Beijing with his mother, and the Cao Mansion fell into decline. Cao Xueqin created "A Dream of Red Mansions" based on the rise and fall of his family. A large number of stories and character prototypes come from the family life that he has been exposed to since childhood. In addition to Jia Baoyu who is based on himself, the shrewd and aggressive Wang Xifeng, the romantic and dexterous Xi Ren, and the articulate Qingwen, they are all people who exist in real life and are loved by the author. The fate of fictional characters often coincides with the character's prototype, and there are also real-life joys and sorrows that are deliberately hidden. Opening the book, in the author's wonderful narration, Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Baoyu, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, Aunt Zhao, Jia Huan, Yuanyang, Jin Chuan, Xiren, Qingwen, Ping'er and others came out of the "Red Mansion" to tell a story that is more real than "A Dream of Red Mansions".
