Distinguishing Forgery of Jing's Collection of Dream of Red Mansions
by Gao Shuwei
About This Novel
After 1964, the 150 comments compiled by Mao Guoyao had a huge impact in the academic world, and have penetrated into the most core issues in the study of Red Mansions (the origin of the book and version of "Dream of Red Mansions", the relationship between Zhi Yanzhai and Ji Husou, the story after the 80th chapter, etc.). The author of this book has verified the 150 comments in the Jingzang version verbatim, supplemented by computer technology processing and analysis, as well as on-site visits and investigations. It has been confirmed that the so-called "Jingzang version" was deliberately forged, and the origin and impact of the forgery have been revealed. After the Jing Zang version was falsified, and stripped of its influence, the author re-researched important issues such as the relationship and identity of Zhi Yanzhai and Ji Husou, and the origin of the version of "Dream of Red Mansions", and came to different conclusions.
