The study of a dream of red mansions has developed into a "red religion" in China-there is no scientific discussion and criticism, only blind worship and superstition.
To evaluate the merits of A Dream of Red Mansions, we must first confirm the coordinate system:
1. Compared with China's works from ancient times to the present, A Dream of Red Mansions is undoubtedly first-class, but it may not win the championship;
In the coordinate system of world literature, A Dream of Red Mansions is absolutely out of date.
China's research, discussion, criticism and debate on A Dream of Red Mansions or Red Religion for decades and hundreds of years are only in the first coordinate system.
The modern youth who grew up watching movies after 70, watching TV with them after 80 and playing the Internet after 90 are different from the traditional China people who grew up playing with mud. They appreciate world literature and art since childhood and naturally live in the second coordinate system.
Therefore, it is the vast majority of modern people who don't like reading a dream of red mansions, can't read it, and even have disdain and ridicule.
There are only two possibilities for people who live in this gluttonous era of world culture and are still boasting about A Dream of Red Mansions:
First, Christians were brainwashed in childhood;
Second, parasitic in a dream of red mansions, relying on the sketches in a dream of red mansions to make a living and support their families.
