Perhaps this is what we think of the Yuan Dynasty and the literati of the Yuan Dynasty - the rule was corrupt, injustices were everywhere, and uprisings continued; the imperial examinations were abolished, there was no hope of becoming an official, and ten Confucians and nine beggars were living on. In fact, the same was true for the Yuan Dynasty and the literati of the Yuan Dynasty - taxes were light and food and clothing were sufficient. Go into the stage and tile house, compose popular Yuan songs, make copper peas and crystal balls, and be capricious and romantic; return home to a bamboo-fenced hut, sweep snow and cook tea, and be a romantic master; form a poetry club, hold book meetings, eulogize the death of the Song Dynasty, criticize the Yuan Dynasty, wander around the lakes and seas, and swim freely with a fishing rod. The literati of the Yuan Dynasty shuttled between markets, rural areas, and officialdom; they were playing with culture, literature, and life. A prodigal, a hermit, and a fighter.

Baoyu listened to the music and realized that "he comes and goes naked without any worries", which kicked off the Zen talk among the characters in the Red Mansion. Daiyu burying flowers, Xiangyun lying drunk, Baoyu becoming a monk... All reveal a strong sense of Zen in a subtle and subtle way. This book tells the relationship between "Dream of Red Mansions" and Zen in an easy-to-understand manner, distinguishes the true and false Zen in the sequel and the first eighty chapters, and outlines the true meaning of "Xueqin Zen" in "Dream of Red Mansions". Zhou Ruchang, a master of Hongxue, said: "Guizhi's book should be ranked first in terms of quality."
