Cao Xueqin is the greatest and most complex writer in the history of Chinese literature. His great-grandfather Cao Xi was a weaver in Jiangning, and his great-grandmother Sun was Kangxi's wet nurse. His grandfather, Cao Yin, served as Kangxi's companion and imperial bodyguard, and later served as a weaver in Jiangning. He also served as the censor of salt inspection in Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers, and was highly trusted by Kangxi.
In his youth, Cao Yin was accomplished in both civil and military affairs, was erudite and capable, and was handsome and graceful. He was an elegant man and liked to associate with famous people. He is proficient in poetry, proficient in music and calligraphy, and has many collections of poems handed down to the world. He is also a book collector. The Cao family has a large collection of books, with as many as 3,287 fine volumes. As the trusted ministers of Emperor Kangxi, the Cao family lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time and shouldered the important task of winning over the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. Through Cao Yin's efforts, he became a person who presided over the elegance of the southeast and was popular among the people, and enjoyed a high reputation in the Jiangnan area.
Cao Yin's profound cultural upbringing and extensive cultural activities created the cultural and artistic atmosphere of the Cao family. At that time, the Cao family showed unprecedented prosperity. This novel takes the experience of four generations of the Cao family as its weft, and uses the family's dedication and hard work in Jiangning weaving as its thread. It describes the fate of the Cao family from prosperity to decline, from being pampered to being insulted. At the same time, the novel uses unpredictable storylines to unfold the unusual entanglements between the princes and grandsons of the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty and the men and women of the Cao family, as well as their unexpected emotional experiences.
This album gives you a detailed explanation of the wonderful life of Cao Xueqin, the Young Master of Red Mansions.

Multi-dimensional description allows readers to better understand the stories behind famous authors! Worth listening to
The first time I heard about the life of a generation of genius Cao Xueqin, I burst into tears. I don't know what words to use to describe the sadness in my heart!
The only drawback is that the presenter made too many typos! Flaws are not hidden, and all the listeners who can listen to it are those who love Dream of Red Mansions and can understand its meaning. How can He Shen be pronounced as He Kun? ? ? ? ? ? ! ! ! ! ! !
