Cao Xueqin was a famous writer and painter in Qing Dynasty. However, due to his unknown life experience, he transmitted relatively little information. Cao Xueqin's ancestors were an official family who moved from Fujian to Suzhou in the Ming Dynasty. However, in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, due to the abolition of the Jiuqing system in the Ming Dynasty, his family's wealth became increasingly depressed. Although Cao Xueqin's father, Cao Liang Zuo, worked as a few small officials, his life was very poor because of his poor family. Therefore, Cao Xueqin was born in a poor family since childhood, but his father attached great importance to cultural education and set up a reading corner at home, which enabled him and his younger brother Cao Lin Xue to embark on the road of literature.
Cao Xueqin and his family experienced poverty, frustration and loss. However, he still pursued his dreams and ambitions. He wrote many works about literature and painting, which were widely praised in the literary and art circles at that time. But in the end, the most outstanding creation of his life, A Dream of Red Mansions, was not finished after all, leaving only a literary masterpiece that almost no one could shake.
Today, Cao Xueqin's title is not only the title of literati painter in Qing Dynasty, but also a representative with historical significance and cultural value. His literary works and life experiences make people have a deeper thinking and understanding of their own lives.
