Features: Empress Dowager Cixi was actually a fan of the Red Study, often comparing herself to Lady Jia; Hu Shi was an early proponent of the Red Study's hermeneutic school, denying Cao Xueqin's authorship; the classic work A Study of the Dream of the Red Chamber was actually hastily written under the pressure of a bookseller; an ordinary editor changed the reading habits of a generation of Chinese people when it came to Dream of the Red Chamber; these are not fictional plots concocted by scholars but real stories that actually happened. The Wind Rises in the Red Chamber narrates the unresolved academic cases and complex human relationships in the modern development of the Red Study, unveiling one secret after another hidden behind the Red Study.
