Introduction: The Red Chamber Razed is a long historical novel written by Gao Yang based on his research of Dream of the Red Chamber. Gao Yang hoped to use the "Red Cao" series to recreate Cao Xueqin's life experiences while writing Dream of the Red Chamber. In The Red Chamber Razed, there are no spiritual aristocrats like Baoyu and Daiyu; instead, there are only ordinary people who simply dress and eat. Gao Yang successfully brought the characters of Dream of the Red Chamber to life, narrating a real-life "Red Chamber" story. In The Five Tour, young Cao Xueqin appears, at the age of twelve. The Cao family no longer has the glory it once had under his grandfather Cao Yin's rule. Only under the authority of his grandmother Li and the scheming of the second grandmother can the family maintain the hollow facade of a wealthy household.
