Wearing Qing clothes doesn't lead to rebellion; chrysanthemum-shaped electric drills are used.
The person upstairs still doesn't understand. The protagonist in the work is portrayed as quick-witted, and Cao Xueqin's poems are not compared to those of Nalan Xingde.
The poetry in *Dream of the Red Chamber* is rather mediocre, how could it possibly surpass Nalan's? "If life were only as beautiful as our first meeting." Do you really think *Dream of the Red Chamber* can reach that level? Is this just empty boasting? There's a limit to praise, or people will laugh their heads off.
Different people have different opinions.
Opinions vary. Whether a sequel to *Dream of the Red Chamber* is successful depends on individual perspectives. I think Gao E's is quite good. Liu Xinwu's, on the other hand, is hardly classical vernacular Chinese.
The protagonist is Cao Xueqin. If we don't praise him, are we going to praise Nalan Xingde instead?
"I am the only one," it's always the same phrase, isn't it a bit too simplistic?
Don't ruin Dream of the Red Chamber.
Apart from Cao Xueqin, no one else in the world has been able to write Dream of the Red Chamber. Since Cao Xueqin's death, the manuscript of Dream of the Red Chamber after the 80th chapter has been lost. Countless people have continued to write the story, and all of them have been unanimously dubbed as "dog tails and sable balls" (meaning their attempts to add inferior or superfluous details).
A harem novel?
Is spending all my time with ugly girls now a sign I'll become a stud in the future?
Seamless
So that's what "seamless" means. The author has a good knowledge base.
The Cao family was pitifully exterminated, and their entire clan was wiped out.
