    Although Cao Xueqin was a rich and noble son before, but when he grew up, his family slowly declined, so he lived a very miserable life for the rest of his life, and he could only earn a meager living allowance by selling some of his own articles.

    It's all done by a gentleman. Duncheng, Dun Min is righteous and squandering money. The "Yellow Leaf Village" in Xishan was provided to Cao Xueqin for writing a book.

    Saving the emergency is not helping the poor. This is a gentleman's covenant. The problem is when Cao Xueqin is terminally ill; Who was the old lady who was waiting for him?

    Who is Cao Xueqin's mother? After Cao Xueqin died, why was she buried in Zhangjiawan, Tong County? Outsiders are not allowed to erect a grave and bury the corpse.

    The implication is that there is his family's ancestral grave there.

    Cao Xueqin's family was originally a wealthy family, but life was too luxurious, extravagant and wasteful, and later the family fell into the middle of the road, and no one helped them.

    Because Cao Xueqin's family originally lived a luxurious life, they developed the thinking that everyone is greedy for fun and thinks that money is not difficult to earn, and in the end, it is not maintained by the emperor, and there is no money, so naturally there will be no money.

    Because there are fewer people in the family who earn money, and everyone chooses to spend money without moderation, and is greedy for pleasure, it has led to the decline of the family.

    After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he successively issued edicts and began to clear the money and grain in a big way throughout the country to make up for the shortfall. At this point, the family that had enjoyed nearly a hundred years of glory and wealth collapsed in an instant.

    Cao Xueqin was born in a family of big bureaucrats and landlords who were "a century-old family", and later tasted the bitterness of life due to the decline of his family.

    Cao Xueqin's great-grandfather Cao Xi was appointed to weave in Jiangning. Great-grandmother Sun was the nanny of Emperor Kangxi Xuanye. His grandfather Cao Yin was Xuanye's companion and imperial guard, and later served as Jiangning Weaving, and concurrently served as the imperial envoy of the two Huai Patrol Salt Inspectors, and was very favored by Xuanye.

    Xuan Ye went to Jiangnan six times, four of which were taken over by Cao Yin, and lived in Cao's house. Cao Yin died of illness, and his sons Cao Yan and Cao Fu succeeded Jiangning Weaving. Four of them have held this position for 60 years.

    Cao Xueqin grew up in the "prosperous" life in this "Qinhuai Fengyue" land since she was a child. In the early years of Yongzheng, due to the involvement of the internal political struggle of the feudal ruling class, the Cao family suffered a series of blows. Cao Fu was dismissed from his post on charges of "misconduct", "harassment of the post station" and "deficit", and his family property was confiscated.

    Cao Fu was imprisoned for more than a year. At this time, Cao Xueqin moved back to Beijing with her family. Since then, the Cao family has been in a slump and declining.

    After experiencing a major turning point in her life, Cao Xueqin deeply felt the heat and coldness of the world, and had a clearer and deeper understanding of feudal society. He despised the powerful, stayed away from officialdom, and lived a difficult life of poverty. In her later years, Cao Xueqin moved to the western suburbs of Beijing.

    Life is even poorer, "full of basil", "the whole family eats porridge". With perseverance and perseverance, he devoted himself to the writing and revision of Dream of the Red Chamber. In 1762 (the twenty-seventh year of Qianlong), his young son died, and he fell into excessive sorrow and grief and was bedridden.

    On Chinese New Year's Eve (February 12, 1763), he finally died of poverty and illness. And the book "Dream of Red Mansions" was not completed. Regarding the year of Cao Xueqin's death, there are two other theories: 1763 (the 28th year of Qianlong) and 1764 (the 29th year of Qianlong).
