...............................................
"Miss, this is obviously a great tragedy!! I didn't want to hear it anymore when I heard that Daiyu was dead, woo~"
(Hehe, do you have the feeling you had when you first read the Red Mansion, anyway, your sister Xuan is crying.) )
"Hey, in fact, the story behind this book is even more poignant..."
"Huh... What did Miss say about this? ”
"The Red Chamber was born under the rule of a government that was closed off from the rest of the country at the time. The whole country is drunk in the dream of the government of the prosperous era and the heavenly empire. On the surface, this period seems to be peaceful, but various social contradictions are intensifying and developing, and the entire dynasty has reached a turning point of prosperity and decline.
The author of this book, Mr. Cao, has been weaving Jiangning for nearly 60 years in three generations of his Cao family.
When the Cao family was at its peak, there were four times to take over the wide difference. Mr. Cao grew up in Nanjing, and experienced a prosperous aristocratic life in his youth. But then the family gradually declined, and was confiscated during the reign of a bastard emperor due to a deficit.
But later, Mr. Cao's family moved back to Kyoto. After returning to Beijing, he worked as a miscellaneous officer in charge of literature and ink in a royal academy "Right-wing Zongxue", and his situation was poor and his life was difficult. In his later years, he moved to the western suburbs of Beijing, and his life became even poorer.
"Full of basil", "family porridge and wine are often on credit"
The book "Red Chamber" was written by Mr. Cao in poverty after he went bankrupt and collapsed his family.
The first paragraph of the first chapter of the book, "The author is from the cloud", is Mr. Cao's own preface. In this preface, Mr. Cao appears as his real identity and tells the reader about the origin of writing.
According to his own account, he wrote this book based on the old dream of prosperity that he experienced in the ancient city in his early years.
Because he was living in the western suburbs of Beijing, doing nothing and achieving nothing, he suddenly recalled all the girls in the family when he was young, and felt that their knowledge and talent far exceeded his own, and he couldn't help but regret it.
When he was in the blessings, he did not do his job properly and did not obey the discipline of his parents and teachers, so that when he grew up, he had no skills and fell for half his life.
Mr. Cao wrote this experience and repentance into a novel to tell readers that although his sins are unavoidable, those girls are real people in life, and their deeds must not be obliterated in order to cover up their crimes......"
"So, this Mr. Cao is really a master!"
