Features: This book lists 34 "mysteries" associated with Qin Keqing and provides interpretations for all of them. Upon solving these "mysteries," it is discovered that Qin Keqing's residence actually hides the imperial quarters of the empress! The intimate relationship between Baoyu and the immortal Keqing is revealed to depict the romance between Cao Xueqin and the prototype of Daiyu, Zhu Xiangyu! The grand funeral of Qin Keqing is actually a hidden reference to the funeral of Empress Xiangyu! And yet! Liu Xinwu's lecture "Unveiling Qin Keqing" caused a sensation among red scholars, with some redologists expressing opposition. How should these issues be viewed? Since the dream interpretation school is a newly emerging and significant academic field, many readers hope we can share our perspectives on these matters. This book includes three articles that address this issue.
