Description: Gao Yang, the first author of historical novels in the Chinese-language world, talks about Dream of Red Mansions and "Red Studies". The textual research of "Dream of Red Mansions" is only the necessary preparation for studying "Dream of Red Mansions", not the research itself, because "Dream of Red Mansions" is a literary masterpiece after all, not A history book.

What's wrong? There is still no clear explanation for these most important topics in literary research.
