Features: As a research subject, Dream of the Red Chamber has sparked a "hundred schools of thought" debate. This includes the methods and approaches of research, and whether it can be "a hundred flowers in bloom"? I believe it can, and it is also necessary. Because research activities with different personalities will choose special aspects or focuses, thus creating the creativity and uniqueness of arguments, Dream of the Red Chamber remains fresh for researchers, truly enlivens the research atmosphere, and enriches and strengthens the research achievements related to this masterpiece. The process of understanding has no end; absolutely correct research results can only be a hypothesis that may not stand the test of practice. As long as researchers put in their utmost efforts and publish their perhaps not fully mature research findings, it is worth the readers' welcome. Because the gains obtained from repeated research, even if they are just a fragmentary insight, can contribute to the prosperity of research work, at least they may inspire readers to rely on themselves, thus enabling them to make their own discoveries and judgments about Dream of the Red Chamber.
