"A Dream of Red Mansions (Set Volume 1, 2 and 2, Commentary by Famous Writers)" is a great work with high ideological and artistic qualities, representing the high achievement of the art of classical novels. It centers on the daily life of the Rongguo Mansion, takes the love and marriage tragedies of Baoyu, Daiyu, and Baochai as well as the trivial matters in the Grand View Garden as the main line, and takes the history of the four Jinling aristocratic families, Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue, from their peak to decline as a hidden line, showing the inevitable trend of the end of the feudal society that will eventually lead to destruction. With its tortuous and obscure expression techniques, desolate and profound emotional style, and strong and lofty ideological foundation, it has irreplaceable research value in various fields such as ancient Chinese folklore, feudal system, social landscape, architectural epigraphy, etc. It has reached the peak of Chinese classical novels and is known as "the encyclopedia of my country's feudal society."
