According to the information: Cao Xueqin (c. 1715 - c. 1763), name Zhan , character Mengruan , number Xueqin , also known as Qinxi, Qinpu , Famous Novelist of the Qing Dynasty, ancestral home of Liaoyang. Cao Xueqin was a Han military bannerman in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and came from a large bureaucratic landlord family of "century-old wang clans". Cao Xueqin's great-grandmother Sun Shi was Kangxi's nursing mother, and her grandfather Cao Yin was Kangxi's attendant. From the second year of kangxi to the fifth year of Yongzheng, great-grandfather Cao Xi, grandfather Cao Yin, father Cao Yan, and uncle Cao Fu successively served as Jiangning weavers for more than 60 years. Weaving was specially designed for the court to purchase silk fabrics and various daily necessities, although the official rank was not high, but it was fat and scarce, and generally speaking, non-emperor cronies could not fill the role. However, in the succession of several eunuch sea storms (the last of which could not even find out the reason), the Cao family declined, and Cao Xueqin tasted the bitterness of the world. Cao Xue is a sensual and has a wide range of hobbies, and has studied gold stones, poetry books, paintings, gardens, traditional Chinese medicine, weaving, craftsmanship, diet, etc. With perseverance and perseverance, after years of hardship, he finally created a great work of great thought and artistry - "Dream of the Red Chamber".
