This book was originally called "The Story of the Stone" and was written by Cao Xueqin, a famous writer in the Qing Dynasty. It is one of the four famous classics in ancient China. Due to the social environment at that time and the spread of manuscripts, only 80 chapters have been preserved. There are many current editions, and the current version has 40 chapters continued by Gao E. This book is a great work with a high degree of ideological and artistic quality. Based on the artistic sublimation of the rise and fall of the family, the author made a profound criticism of the feudal imperial examination system, arranged marriage, hierarchy and social dominance ideas.
