Features: During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the erudite and versatile Liu Ruzhen, a native of Daxing County, Beijing, created a unique novel titled A Dream of Mirrored Flowers. What makes the novel distinctive is its progressive feminist ideas that were ahead of its time, as well as its display of profound erudition. Liu Ruzhen's purpose in writing this book was to "regret the unrecorded talents of the flowers and grasses and document them with a pen," meaning to immortalize and celebrate the fame of talented women. Hu Shi said, "A Dream of Mirrored Flowers is a novel that discusses women's issues, and its answer to this question is that men and women should receive equal treatment, equal education, and an equal electoral system." What most impressed people at the time when A Dream of Mirrored Flowers was published was the author's vast knowledge. In all aspects of Confucian classics, literature, calligraphy and painting, music, chess, medicine, divination, phonology, arithmetic, riddles, drinking games, Double Six, Maiao, and Quju, he was knowledgeable and skilled in none. Lu Xun regarded it as a novel that "showed off talent through fiction."
