However, A Dream of Red Mansions is a series of essays, that is, the first edition of A Dream of Red Mansions published as early as 1989 is also called a monograph on redology, which means that the conclusion that Cao Xueqin poisoned Yong Zhengdi is based on academic argumentation. Since it belongs to the academic category, if there are different views, it can be completely resolved through discussion and debate through the party's academic policy of letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend. However, what people see is the constant encirclement and suppression of a dream in the Red Chamber.
Dream interpretation in the Red Chamber has been repeatedly besieged and banned. Imagine: If the proposition and argument that Cao Xueqin poisoned Yong Zhengdi is wrong, can the theory of dream interpretation still exist and develop to the present? But unfortunately, the author's exposition on this issue is constantly improving and systematizing, and there are more and more supporters. In the end, the people who were besieged were forced to be speechless.
This book systematically demonstrates this proposition.
