A group of mysterious numbers that appear many times in "Dream of Red Mansions" are "twelve", and in general, the number twelve is used by Cao Xueqin to allude to "beautiful" and "perfect". "Dream of Red Mansions" has a special affection for the number twelve, but it is limited to the first eighty chapters, after all, many people in the later chapters say that Gao He continued to write it later. Therefore, the number "twelve" can only be analyzed from the first 80 times, and many clues can be found, but if it is analyzed together with the back, it will break the law of the first 80 times, so it seems a little messy and impossible to analyze.

If the deep meaning of "twelve" is directly analyzed from the original text, it is talking about "the twelve hairpins of Jinling". However, after all, Cao Xueqin did not say it, so there are more speculations, for example, in ancient times, twelve-year-old women were called "cardamom years", and as in ancient China, there were twelve zodiac signs and twelve hours, so the twelve in "Dream of Red Mansions" were extended to the meaning of "beautiful" and "perfect", and other meanings extended from the twelve are countless.

However, even though "Twelve" has been given too many meanings in it, it is inseparable from two important elements: girlishness and perfection. Take the twelve hairpins of Jinling as an example, they are the girls who came out of the best years of their lives.

As for the element of "perfection", it can be considered that it was given by that era, not by Cao Xueqin, which can be seen from many conversations in the article:

Xiangyun read it again, and said with a smile: "Ten is not a picture, and the more sexual make up twelve, just like other people's calligraphy and painting albums." When Baochai heard this, he thought of two more, making a total of twelve.

From the dialogue, it can be seen that "ten is flawed, it is better to make a perfect one". "Twelve" symbolizes the meaning of "perfection", which can be said to be vividly reflected in this dialogue. Of course, there are countless similar dialogues in the first 80 episodes of "Dream of Red Mansions".

However, on the whole, in fact, this is also a kind of habitual thinking of people, and I believe that if "ten" represented perfection in that era, there must have been many changes in "Dream of Red Mansions".
