Cao Xueqin's Dream of the Red Chamber has been hailed as the pinnacle of classical Chinese fiction, while Ji Xiaolan was a prominent scholar and official of the Qing Dynasty. These two historical figures seem to be unrelated, but they are actually subtly connected.
When Cao Xueqin created Dream of Red Mansions, she was deeply influenced by traditional culture. As an erudite and talented scholar, Ji Xiaolan has an in-depth study of traditional culture. It is rumored that Cao Xueqin once asked Ji Xiaolan for academic advice, and Ji Xiaolan also spoke highly of "Dream of Red Mansions". This kind of academic exchange and inheritance not only enriches the cultural connotation of Dream of Red Mansions, but also provides valuable clues for the study of red studies in later generations.

These two historical figures have very different views on political thought, but they also had a profound exchange.
During Liang Qichao's exile in Japan, he met Sun Yat-sen. The two had an in-depth discussion on the future of China.

In the New Culture Movement, Hu Shi and Lu Xun fought side by side, jointly advocating new ideas and new literature. Although they disagree on some specific issues, they are held together by a common goal.

The intersection and interaction of these celebrities is not only a personal history, but also a microcosm of the entire era and society. They reflect the spirituality, values and social changes of that era.
For example, in the field of literature and art, the exchange and collision between writers and artists of different styles can often inspire new creative inspiration and artistic styles.

These exchanges and interactions are often an important force in promoting the development of history. At the same time, we should also draw inspiration from this and learn to seek progress and development through exchanges and cooperation. Because no matter what era or field, only by strengthening exchanges and cooperation can we better respond to challenges, seize opportunities, and jointly promote social progress and development.
