The celebrated Chinese classic novel is a masterpiece of realism written in the middle of the-eighteenth century. Taking as its background the decline of several related big families and drawing much from his own experiences, the author Cao Xueqin (?-c.1763) focused on the tragic love between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu and, in the meantime, provides a panorama of the lives of people of various levels in the degenerating empire. But he left the work unfinished (or the last 40 chapters lost). Gao E (c.1738-c.1815) completed the work some years later in much of Cao's spirit and also put in his own revelation, which aroused protracted controversy throughout centuries. Exposing social evils, the book cries out denunciation against the feudal system. All techniques of literary merit developed in previous periods have been incorporated into the great work with much originality. It stands out in the world literature ranking with Hamlet and War and Peace.

奉命之作,可谓信达,在特殊政治环境下能有如此产量质量,实属不易。

《红楼梦》在中国成了一种宗教,而绝对不是文学,所谓的“红学”,本质上是“红教”。这部书的文学价值历史价值,被极端地鼓吹夸大了。鼓吹《红楼梦》的,不仅有文学家艺术家,还有政治家,比如毛泽东。《红楼梦》真的很好吗?现代人,文化标准必须超越国界,甚至超越文学。如此,《红楼梦》价值低微。
