There is no person named Cao Xueqin, the author of Dream of Red Mansions, and there is no evidence to prove it!

What is the most remarkable thing about Dream of Red Mansions as an "encyclopedia"?

Hello dear, glad to answer for you! The answer I have found for you is: What is the most remarkable thing about "Dream of Red Mansions" as an "encyclopedia"?

Because "Dream of Red Mansions" is based on Lao Zhuang Thought and Taoist philosophy, compatible with Confucianism, Buddhism, Yi Xue and other traditional Chinese cultural thoughts, integrated and penetrated, and kneaded into a single body with extremely superb techniques, there are both contradictions and intersections, and the author objectively shows the practical significance of other schools of thought while expressing his ideological propositions. In this regard, the original work is more concentrated in the mythological story in the first chapter and the description and positioning of the illusory realm in the fifth chapter, and then there is the ideological tendency of the male protagonist Jia Wei Mabaoyu to admire the Zhuangzi culture throughout the text. The above is the answer I have compiled for you, if my answer is helpful to you, I hope you can evaluate my service, your praise is the driving force for me to move forward, thank you for your support, if you have other questions, you can also continue to ask me, I am happy to continue to answer for you, I wish you a happy life.

You will know it after watching "Dream of Red Mansions". It involves not only the emotional aspect, but also politics, economics, management, social relations, etiquette, traditional Chinese culture, medicine, ancient poetry, costume jewelry, speaking skills, etc., every field you will encounter. You'll find that Cao Xueqin is more than just a writer.

Each of the characters he portrays is vivid and distinctive. And from some details, you can also find that Cao Xueqin not only writes articles, but also writes poems, can also see a doctor, knows how to manage, and understands political officialdom, and is very familiar with ancient Chinese etiquette norms. (Be sure to watch it carefully, don't just watch the storyline as if it were a story, then you won't experience anything.) ）

Because the book has a very detailed explanation of national culture such as diet and medicine, it can be said to be all-encompassing, so it is called "encyclopedia"! My personal opinion, I hope it is useful!

Because in addition to the description of love, the whole book has a wide range of clothing, architecture, gardens, medicinal herbs, food, etc., so it is called an encyclopedia.

Because Dream of Red Mansions not only has literary value, while describing Baoyu's love as the main line, it also comprehensively records and describes the customs, human feelings, clothing, medicine and so on of the author's life era.
