Who came up with the name Fat Yan Zhai? 50

He gave himself a pen name.

No, it seems that there is a lot of controversy

As for who, no one knows

I went to see the hundred pulpits, and some just didn't know if it was right or not. . .

As for who started it, no one can say

Fat Yan Zhai is the main commentator of the manuscript system of "Dream of Red Mansions", "Fat Yan Zhai Re-evaluation of the Stone Record".

The criticism of Fat Yan Zhai is called "Fat Commentary" or "Fat Criticism" in the red academic circles, and the manuscript with Fat Yan Zhai's criticism is called "Fat Version", and the Fat Commentary is the version of "Dream of Red Mansions" that is most in line with Cao Xueqin's thoughts. However, there is no consensus on who Yan Zhai is and what is the relationship between him and Cao Xueqin, the author of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Judging from the content of the fat criticism, it seems that the person of Yan Zhai and the author of "Dream of Red Mansions" and his family should have a very close relationship and have the same social status, but there are also a few researchers who believe that the fat criticism is just the speculation of merchants. The author's creative intentions and metaphors are often explained in the lipid criticism, and provide the most direct and main basis for the "exploration" branch of Red Studies.
