This is a nun's evaluation of A Dream of Red Mansions, which was originally written by her doctoral thesis at Indiana University. This paper mainly uses the structural analysis of the novel to comment on A Dream of Red Mansions. Because she pays attention to the structure of the book, she thinks there are many plots to delete.

In addition, there is a paper to verify whether the chapters and chapters in A Dream of Red Mansions are all written by one person. Gao Benhan, a world-renowned sinologist, made scientific research and textual research on A Dream of Red Mansions by using the methods of linguistics and statistics. Based on the first eighty chapters of the original work and the last forty chapters of Cheng Jiaben, he chose thirty-eight words for comparison. As a result, the words used in the first 80 times were not used less in the last 40 times, so sinologists found that the words used in the first 80 times were exactly the same as those used in the last 40 times, so they concluded that Cao Shi wrote A Dream of Red Mansions alone and did not continue to write it.

A paper by Ms. Yu of Harvard University in the United States is Multiple Perspectives and Feelings in a Dream of Red Mansions. Some scholars also use computers to study a dream of red mansions. Professor Zhou Ce Zong said: "A Dream of Red Mansions is the crystallization of China's national literature achievements, and its great response in the world deserves our incomparable pride and pride in China."
