The Dream of Red Mansions reflects the history of which era

In fact, there is no specific era. Cao Gong has already stated: "My teacher is too stupid!

If there is no dynasty to test, now our teacher has added ...... under the pretense of Han and Tang dynasties"Now a lot of people hold the view of the Qing Dynasty, and I don't think that's entirely wrong. Because Cao Gong lived in the Qing Dynasty, the shadow of the Qing Dynasty will inevitably appear in the background of his writing. But Cao Gong himself is also very clear:

There are no dynasties to examine. Because Cao Xueqin focuses on telling this story of joys and sorrows, and departs from the cliché of previous romance. If you have to give it the hat of some dynasty, it is far-fetched.

For example, the original description of men's appearance and clothing is obviously not the Qing Dynasty.

I think it was the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties, and the Cao family began to decline from their heyday in these three dynasties.

Of course, it was the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the Cao family was raided twice in Yongzheng, Lao Cao mainly lived in the Qianlong period, as for some people saying that the Red Mansion written by Lao Cao has the meaning of anti-Qing and Ming restoration, it is just nonsense, the Cao family made a fortune from the Qing Dynasty, can he oppose the Qing Dynasty?

But Cao Xueqing said in the book that this is not aimed at any dynasty.

On the surface, the author said that he did not pay attention to the age, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that according to the author's various statements (such as the second Leng Zixing speech Rongguo Mansion, Jia Yucun has counted the celebrities of the past dynasties), the story should have been carried out to the Qing Dynasty. In fact, it is the story of Kang Yongqian III of the Qing Dynasty, during the Kangxi period, the Jia family (the Cao family in reality) in the book was very prosperous, and the Yongzheng period lived a worried but stable life.

If you are interested, you can take a look at the program of ** TV station "Hundred Lectures" in which many red scientists talk about the Dream of Red Mansions, which is really interesting!

In the Qing Dynasty, Cao Xueqin's family was an official in the previous generation, but later became lonely, and Dream of Red Mansions was written based on his life experience.

I'm dizzy, Cao Xueqin lived in the prosperous period of Kangqian, how could the background of the times reflected in the book she wrote be the end of the Qing Dynasty? Is he prophesying? It's the middle of the Qing Dynasty!

Dream of Red Mansions deliberately conceals the time and place where the story took place.

It is said that Dream of Red Mansions is Cao Xueqin's memoirs, and according to Cao Xueqin's birth and death years, the era of Dream of Red Mansions can be roughly known. According to research, Cao Xueqin was born about 1714 (Kangxi fifty-three years) letter leakage filial piety, search for the dream of the Red Mansion Baoyu appeared in Daiyu into Jiafu at the time, Daiyu was about six years old, Baoyu was about 7 8 years old, just remembered, around 1720 (Kangxi fifty-nine years), Cao's family was raided in the sixth year of Yongzheng (1728), at that time, Cao Xueqin was 16 years old. Soon after Jiafu was raided, Baoyu ran away from home.

End of story. Therefore, the story of Dream of Red Mansions takes place from the 59th year of Kangxi (1720) to the 9th year of Yongzheng (1731). Since the Cao family has been in Nanjing for the past ten years, it is certain that the story of Dream of Red Mansions takes place in Nanjing.

The background of "Dream of Red Mansions" is: the picture of social life in the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong eras of the Qing Dynasty is the so-called prosperous era of Qianlong in history, but in fact, there are all kinds of contradictions behind the prosperity of the dynasty, and there are also many hidden crises.

**With the rise and fall of the four major families of Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue as the background, from the perspective of the rich and noble son Jia Baoyu, and the tragedy of Jia Baoyu's love and marriage with Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai as the main line, it depicts the life of a group of beautiful women in the boudoir who have behaved and seen from the eyebrows, showing the real beauty of human nature and tragic beauty, which can be said to be an epic work that shows the beauty of women and the world of ancient Chinese society from all angles.

The historical background of Dream of Red Mansions is the Qing Dynasty.

In this environment, the meaning expressed by the Dream of Red Mansions is self-evident, in addition to indicating the rise and fall of the dynasty, it also hints at the Grand View Garden.

The rise and fall of the Grand View Garden is a miniature version of the imperial court, in this court, some people yearn for power, some people yearn for money, some people yearn for fame, but there are also people yearn for love.
