Cao Xueqin (c. 28 May 1715 – c. 12 February 1763), courtesy name Xia, zi Mengruan, Xueqin, qinxi, and Qinpu, was the author of the classic Chinese classic Dream of the Red Chamber, born in Jiangning (present-day Nanjing), Cao Xueqin was born in the Qing Dynasty's ministry of internal affairs, Zhengbaiqi Baoyi family, he was the grandson of Cao Yin, the weaver of Jiangning, and the son of Cao Fu (the son of Cao Fu).
In her early years, Cao Xueqin experienced a life of brocade and richness in the Jiangning Weaving House in Nanjing. Great-grandfather Cao Xi served as Jiangning Weaver; great-grandmother Sun Shi served as the Kangxi Emperor's nanny; grandfather Cao Yin served as the Kangxi Emperor's companion and imperial bodyguard, and later served as Jiangning Weaving, and also served as the imperial envoy of the Lianghuai Patrol Salt Inspector, and was greatly favored by Kangxi. In the sixth year of Yongzheng (1728), the Cao family was raided for the crime of deficit, and Cao Xueqin moved back to the old residence in Beijing with her family. Later, he moved to the western suburbs of Beijing, where he made a living selling calligraphy and paintings and providing relief from friends. Since then, the Cao family has been in a slump and declining day by day. After experiencing a major turning point in her life, Cao Xueqin deeply felt that the world was cold and had a clearer and deeper understanding of feudal society. He despised the powerful, stayed away from the bureaucracy, and lived a difficult life of poverty. Cao Xue is a sensual and has a wide range of hobbies, and has studied gold stones, poetry books, paintings, gardens, traditional Chinese medicine, weaving, craftsmanship, diet, etc. With perseverance and perseverance, after years of hardship, he finally created a great work of great thought and artistry - "Dream of the Red Chamber". After Cao Xueqin moved to the western suburbs of Beijing, her life became even poorer, "full of basil" and "the family often eats porridge and wine on credit".
In the twenty-seventh year of Qianlong (1762), the youngest son died, and he was trapped in excessive sorrow and grief, and was bedridden. In the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong (1763), Chinese New Year's Eve (February 12), he died of poverty and illness.

Cao Xueqin used romantic techniques to write the "Twelve Songs of the Dream of the Red Chamber" and the "Judgment of the Twelve Books of Jinling" in the "Jia Baoyu Divine Journey to the Great Void Realm, and the Police Fantasy Immortal Song Performs the Dream of the Red Chamber", and these two sets of well-structured poems are the outlines of the image shaping of the "Jinling Twelve Pieces". For that kind of vulgar and low-level "talented beauty" type of love, Cao Xueqin is opposed. The love that Cao Xueqin affirms is a love based on betrayal of the feudal patriarchal order, betrayal of Confucian ethics and morality, and has common ideas, and such love is essentially a political issue and a reflection of the ideological struggle at the end of feudal society.
Cao Xueqin put "Lifelong Mistakes" in the first place of the twelve songs, indicating Baoyu's completely different feelings and intentions for Baochao and Daiyu, and expressing Baoyu's resentment against the "golden jade good relationship" that mistakenly mistook him for life.
Original text of the work:
The capital is a golden jade good relationship, and I only read the former alliance of wood and stone.
Saying that the matching of JinSuo and Baoyu is a beautiful marriage, I only remember the alliance with Daiyu's past life.
In the air, the mountains are crystal clear snow; never forget, the lonely forest of the immortals in the world.
Every day, he faces Xue Baochao, who is considered dignified and stable by people, but he can never forget Lin Daiyu, who is as smart and lonely as a fairy.
Sigh in the world, the beauty is not enough to believe in the present.
Alas, I believe today that there are always deficiencies in the good things in the world.
Even if it is a case of qi eyebrows, it is difficult to calm down in the end.
Even if Baochao is as virtuous as Meng Guang in the Han Dynasty, it cannot erase my deep affection for Sister Lin.

This is a piece of text written by Cao Xueqin to show the beauty of Lin Daiyu and shape this character image, which appears in the third time in "Dream of the Red Chamber", which is Lin Daiyu's first impression of Lin Daiyu when she first entered Jia Mansion and met Jia Baoyu for the first time. This article does not make a detailed description of Lin Daiyu's appearance, but it reflects her weak and unruly delicacy and otherworldly temperament. The whole text shows the reader the image of a beautiful and talented young girl.
Two bends seem to be crouching non-crouching eyebrows, and a pair of eyes seem to be crying instead of crying.
Two light smokes bent eyebrows without wrinkles, a pair of clear eyes like tears rather than tears.
The state of two sorrows, the illness of the body.
The sad posture is full of dimples on both sides, and the body is weak as if it has inherited a disease.
Tears lit up, and the panting was slight.
Tears lit up, panting faintly.
Idle like a delicate flower shining on the water, acting like a weak willow supporting the wind.
When it is quiet, it is as charming as a delicate flower shining on the water, and when it moves, it is like a weak willow swaying with the wind, graceful and colorful.
The heart is more than dry, and the disease is like Xizi winning three points.
The heart is smarter than the dry, and the posture when he is sick is more beautiful than that of Xi Shi.

This poem first appears in "Dream of the Red Chamber". At that time, Zhen Shi, who was in his later years, hid on crutches and came to the street to relax and listen to a lame Taoist singing. The lame Taoist interpretation of this "Good Song" is: "You can know everything in the world, good is good, good is good; if it is not good, it is not; if it is good, it must be." In this return, Cao Xueqin borrowed a lame Daoist to write "Good Song" to conceal the plot of the novel, so as to express his realist ideas and convey his anger and disappointment in reality.
The world knows that the gods and immortals are good, but the merits cannot be forgotten!
Everyone knows that the gods and immortals are good, and only the name of the merit cannot be forgotten!
Where will the past and the present meet? A pile of grass was gone.
Where are the generals and ministers from ancient times to the present, and now there is only a pile of deserted graves left;
The world knows that the gods and immortals are good, and only gold and silver cannot forget!
Everyone knows that the gods are good, only wealth can not be forgotten!
In the end, there is only hatred gathering, and when the time comes, the eyes are closed.
After living for a lifetime, I only hate that I have not accumulated much money, and when I have more money, I will die as soon as my eyes are closed;
The world knows that the gods and immortals are good, and only the wife can't forget it!
Everyone knows that the gods are good, and only the wife can't forget it!
On the day of the king's birthday, he said that he was gracious, and the king died and went with the people.
The kindness that is told every day when he is alive, and then remarried after he dies;
The world knows that the gods and immortals are good, and only the children and grandchildren can't forget it!
Everyone knows that the gods are good, and only children and grandchildren cannot forget!
Obsessed parents Gu Laiduo, filial piety to their children and grandchildren who have seen?
There have been many parents who are obsessed with educating their children since ancient times, but who has seen those so-called filial children and grandchildren?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="68" > the song notes</h1>
The lame Daoist sang "Good Song" to inspire Zhen Shiyin to "enlighten"; and Zhen Shiyin was a well-known local squire in Jinling, and he was also a clever reader, but with the loss of his beloved daughter Zhen Yinglian, the family property house was burned into rubble by the fire, and he defected to his father-in-law to seal the house, but he was deceived by the sealing pit and did not say it, but was ridiculed by his father-in-law for being lazy and lazy and would not live a life, coupled with the old years of urgent resentment, there were already accumulated injuries, and the twilight years, poor and sick, gradually revealed the situation of the next life.
Zhen Shiyin saw the world's hot and cold, one day scattered, saw a lame Daoist person singing "Good Song", followed by an epiphany, and then made the "Good Song Notes", further extending the essence of the idea of "Good Song". After Zhen Shiyin made a commentary on "Good Song", he drifted away with this crazy Daoist and there was no more news. It shows the realism and religious thought of the author Cao Xueqin. The content of the poem alludes to the plot of the novel, expressing the author's resentment and disappointment in reality.
The burrow was empty, full of beds; the grass was withered, and it was once a song and dance venue.
Today's empty hall and burrow room are the mansions of high-ranking officials and dignitaries who were full of wat boards. Today's dead trees and grass are the song and dance venues for high-ranking officials and dignitaries to drink and enjoy themselves.
The spider silk is covered with carved beams, and the green yarn is now pasted on the canopy window. Say what fat is thick, powder is fragrant, how to two sideburns into frost?
The once luxurious houses are full of spider silk, but unfortunately the green veil is now pasted on the canopy window. In the past, the wealth was unmatched, but now how to make the two sideburns as white as frost.
Yesterday the loess long head sent white bones, tonight the red light tent under the mandarin duck.
The old people have passed away and the new people have come, and life is like the absurd boredom of the first dream.
Boxes full of gold, full of silver, beggars are slandered in the blink of an eye.
The box of gold and silver was full of gold and silver, and in the blink of an eye, he was reduced to a beggar and was blamed.
Sighing that other people's lives are not long, he knows that he has returned and died!
I am still lamenting the fate of others, even if I know that I have ended up like this.
Discipline is good, and it is not certain that it will be a strong beam in the future. Choose anointing sorghum, who promises to wander in fireworks alley!
Although he taught his son well, there is no guarantee that he will not be a bandit in the future; who would have thought that he would end up in fireworks alley after marrying a rich and noble family for his daughter?
Because of the small hat of the yarn, resulting in the shackles, yesterday the pity broke the jacket cold, and now the purple python is long.
Not satisfied with the size of the official position, in the end only put the shackles on the shoulders. Yesterday I was still destitute, and only the torn jacket was difficult to withstand the cold. Today, it is very rich and expensive, and the purple python is too long.
Randomly baking your party to sing me on the stage, but also think that other places are hometown. It's ridiculous, and it ends up being a wedding dress for someone else!
Life is like a drama, one after another, you just removed your makeup, it's time for me to appear again. After qu finally dispersed, he suddenly found that he had been busy all his life sewing wedding clothes for others, and he was busy in vain.

Cao Xueqin wrote "Linjiang Xian Liu Shu" in the seventieth time in "Dream of the Red Chamber", which was composed by Xue Baochao. The Liu Shu Poetry Society is the last poetry meeting in daguanyuan. For the four major families, the forward movement of historical time is directly proportional to the sharp turn of its decaying fate. Jia Fuli has more obviously shown signs of various crises, and the "prestigious" Jia Fu is already on the verge of collapse. This poem is the product of the life reflected in Cao Xueqin's mind during the decline of the feudal aristocratic class.
Bai Yutang danced in front of the spring, and the east wind rolled evenly. Bees and butterflies are in disarray. How many have passed away with the water? Will it be dusty?
In front of the White Jade Hall, the willow flowers were scattered by the spring wind, as if they were dancing. The dance is soft and fast. Swarms of bees and butterflies flew in clusters, following willows. How did he fall into the water and go with the waves? How could it end up in the dirt?
Thousands of threads will not change in the end, let him gather and divide. Shaohua Xiu laughed at the rootless. The good wind, with its strength, sent me to the clouds.
Although the willows follow the wind and gather and divide, the willow trees are still long and fluttering. Hugh laughed at me, Chun Shu'er had no roots, no clinging. May you borrow the power of the east wind to send me to the blue clouds!

"Tang Duoling Liu Shu" is a poem written by Cao Xueqin in the Qing Dynasty, which is the 70th time in the "Dream of the Red Chamber", written by Lin Daiyu in the Liu Shu Poetry Club. The whole word compares itself with the floating willow silk, expressing Lin Daiyu's sadness and sadness under the fence.
Pink fall hundred flowers island, fragrant remnant swallow building. Cluster by bunch, team by team. Drifting is also like a thin human life, empty, said wind flow.
The willows on the Hundred Flowers Continent are like powder falling with the wind, and the fragrance of the poplar flowers in the Swallow Building still remains. Clusters of white willows chased each other into a ball. Fluctuating is like a person's fate, it is useless to be inseparable, not to mention the past wind!
The grass and trees were also worried, and Shaohua was white-headed. Sigh in this life, who gives up who receives! Marry with Dongfeng Chun no matter what, go with Er, endure and drown!
Grass and trees seem to know sorrow, so how can such a young person have a white head. Alas, in this lifetime, who gave up on you and who took you back! Follow the east wind, the spring light does not matter, let you drift around, how to bear to make you stay for a long time!

"Autumn Window Wind and Rain" is an ancient poem written by Cao Xueqin, which was composed by Lin Daiyu in the forty-fifth time of "Dream of the Red Chamber". Dai Yu suffered a coughing disease during the autumn equinox, and it became heavier and heavier every day. One evening, the sky suddenly changed, gradually darkened, and the rain began to fall. Dai Yu desolately picked up a copy of the "Miscellaneous Manuscripts of Lefu" to read, but did not feel that she had a feeling in her heart, so she imitated the style of Zhang Ruoxuan's "Spring River Flower Moon Night" in the Tang Dynasty and wrote it as a poem called "Parting from generations". This poem meticulously describes a stormy, sad and miserable autumn night, vividly expresses Lin Daiyu's deep resentment and sorrow under the pressure of feudal aristocratic forces, reflects the heavy mental pressure caused to her by feudal etiquette, and her bitter mood of not being able to find a way out and unable to fight.
Autumn flowers are miserable and autumn grass is yellow, and autumn lights are long in autumn.
Autumn flowers and grass wither, the faint light makes the autumn night appear longer.
I have felt that the autumn window is not endless, and the wind and rain help to be desolate!
Having woken up outside the window is an endless autumn color, which can withstand the autumn wind and rain to make autumn even more desolate.
How quickly will the autumn storm come? Break the autumn window autumn dream green.
The autumn wind and rain came so quickly that they broke the green of dreams.
Holding autumn love can't bear to sleep, moving the tear candle to the autumn screen.
Unable to sleep with autumn sentimentality, he moved the tearful candle toward the screen.
The tear candle shakes the short bottle, and the sorrow and hatred move away from love.
The flickering candle flames ignited the short-handled lampstand, stirring up feelings of resentment and parting.
Whose autumn courtyard has no wind? Where is the autumn window without the sound of rain?
Whose courtyard does not have the intrusion of autumn wind, where there is no rain outside the window on autumn?
Luo Yu was not afraid of the autumn wind, and the sound of residual leakage urged the autumn rain to be urgent.
The silk quilt could not resist the power of the autumn wind, and the more leaky sound of the autumn night would lead to the more urgent sound of rain.
The night is full of tea, and the lights seem to be accompanied by people crying.
The continuous autumn rain throughout the night is like crying with someone who is about to leave.
The cold smoke courtyard turned depressed, and the bamboo window dripped.
The courtyard is even more depressed under the autumn rain and fog, and there are water droplets on the sparse bamboo leaves in front of the windows.
I don't know when the wind and rain will rest, but I have taught tears to sprinkle the window screen wet.
I don't know when the wind and rain will stop, and the tears have wet the window screen.

"Apricot Curtain in Sight" is from the eighteenth time of "Dream of the Red Chamber", is one of the eleven "Daguanyuan Inscriptions", and is a work of "Ode to the Holy Entertainment" when the Yuan Concubine visited the Grand View Garden, composed by Lin Daiyu on behalf of Jia Baoyu. Since this period was the heyday of Jia Province, Jia Province was filled with a singing and dancing. The feudal rebel Lin Daiyu used this poem to express her inner world of hating darkness and despising vulgarity.
The apricot curtain beckons guests to drink, and there is a mountain villa in the view.
Yellow wine flags beckon guests to drink, and in the distance you can see the looming villa.
Lingjing goose water, mulberry elm swallow beam.
The lake is planted with rhombus, where the geese play in the water, and the branches and leaves of the mulberry elm tree are the roof beams used by the swallows to build their nests.
A spring leek green, ten miles of rice flowers.
A bunch of leeks grow emerald green in the spring breeze, and the rice fields are filled with the fragrance of pollen.
There is no hunger in the prosperous world, so why cultivate and weave.
In the enlightened world, there is no more famine and frost, so why bother to cultivate and weave?
