Features: This book is based on the "Newly Printed Complete Illustrated Dream of the Red Chamber" (commonly known as the "Cheng Yi Edition"), printed using wooden movable type by Cheng Weiyuan and Gao E in the Renzi year of the Qianlong reign (1792) in the Qing Dynasty. Significant modifications to the original text (Cheng Yi Edition), whether based on the Zhi edition system or the Cheng edition system, are explained in the marginal annotations for reference. The annotated materials compiled in this book, regardless of whether they were originally marginal comments, evaluative comments, head comments, or interlinear comments, all appear in the form of marginal annotations. The selection of annotations primarily focuses on the academic achievements of the textual school, supplemented by contributions from the textual research school and the hidden meaning school. Whether a comment is representative is the core criterion for its inclusion.
