Living under the cruel rule of the Yuan Dynasty, I experienced a fierce peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. I felt deeply at odds with those in power and decided to retire and write books behind closed doors. Zhang Shicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising, advised him to come out of the mountain and was declined. Zhu Yuanzhang also called him many times and refused to apply. In the winter of the 26th year of Yuan Dynasty (1366), Zhu Yuanzhang went to war with Zhang Shicheng. In order to escape the war, he moved to the place where Baima sang West 18. According to legend, there is a reed in the west of the village where the settlement is located, covering an area of 10 mu.

Cao Xueqin (17 15 ~ 1763)? Novelists in Qing Dynasty. Its name is Zhan, the word, and learning the piano is its name, also known as the piano score. Originally from Liaoyang, he was originally a Han nationality, and later he was a "coating" person in Zhengbaiqi, Manchuria. Cao Xueqin's great-grandfather Cao Xi was a weaver in Jiangning. Great-grandmother Sun Shi was the nanny of Emperor Kangxi Michelle Ye. Grandfather Cao Yin worked as a squad leader and bodyguard in Michelle Ye, and later as a weaver in Jiangning, who also served as an inspector of salt affairs in two Huai provinces, winning the favor of Michelle Ye. Michelle Ye visited the south of the Yangtze River six times, was taken back four times, and lived in Cao's home. After Cao Yin's death, his sons Cao Qing and Cao Fuxian succeeded him as Jiangning Weaving. Their three generations and four grandchildren have held this position for 60 years. Cao Xueqin grew up in the "prosperous" life of this "romantic place of Qinhuai" since childhood. In the early years of Yongzheng, the Cao family suffered a series of blows because of the political struggle within the feudal ruling class. Cao Fu was dismissed on charges of "misconduct", "harassing the Post" and "deficit", and his property was confiscated. Cao Fu was imprisoned and punished, and the "cangue" lasted for more than a year. At this time, Cao Xueqin's family moved back to Beijing. Since then, the Cao family has been devastated and declining. After a major turning point in his life, Cao Xueqin felt that the world was cold and had a clearer and deeper understanding of feudal society. He despised powerful people, stayed away from officialdom and lived a poor and hard life. In his later years, Cao Xueqin moved to the western suburbs of Beijing. Life is even poorer, "covered in wormwood" and "porridge for the whole family". He devoted himself to the writing and revision of A Dream of Red Mansions. In the twenty-seventh year of Qianlong (1762), his youngest son died prematurely, and he fell into excessive sadness and grief and was bedridden. On the New Year's Eve of this year (1763 February 12), he finally died of poverty due to illness (there are two versions about the year of Cao Xueqin's death: 28 years and 29 years of Qianlong). Cao Xueqin is "fat, with a wide head and black color". He is arrogant, cynical and unrestrained. Alcoholic, talented and talkative. Cao Xueqin is a poet. His poems are novel in conception and close in style to Li He, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. His friend Duncheng once praised him and said, "Love your poem is wonderful, and you can catch up with the long valley broken fence fan." He added, "I know that your poems are as bold as iron and as cold as the Taoist camp." However, there are only two lines in his sincere poem Pipa Xing: "The White Fuji Mausoleum should be very happy and will teach barbarians to put on airs." Cao Xueqin is also a painter and likes to paint abrupt and steep stones. Dunmin's "Painting Stone in Qinyuan" said: "Proud as a strange monarch, more jagged. Drunk as a pen swept away. Write a thunder in your chest. " It can be seen that when he painted stones, he put his chest on the grievances. Cao Xueqin's greatest contribution lies in his novel creation. His novel A Dream of Red Mansions is rich in content, profound in thought and exquisite in art, which pushes China's classical novel creation to a peak and occupies a very important position in the history of literary development. A Dream of Red Mansions is the product of his "reading for ten years, adding and deleting five times" and "every word is like blood, and ten years of hard work is extraordinary". Unfortunately, before his death, the whole book was not finished. Today, most of the 20 copies of A Dream of Red Mansions/KLOC-0 were written by him, and the last 40 copies were continued by others. Eighty years later, he has written a part of the first draft, but it has not been handed down for various reasons.

Luo Guanzhong was a novelist and dramatist in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. The year of birth and death is unknown. According to textual research, it is generally believed that famous books are consistent with characters. A native of Hangzhou, his ancestral home is Taiyuan. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Jia claimed to "forget to make friends in the New Year" in Ghost Book Continuation, and "resumed the meeting on the first day of the Ming Dynasty, and didn't come for more than 60 years, and I didn't know where to go". Lu Xun defined Luo Guanzhong's life time as about 1, 330 to 1, 400 (Chapter 14 of A Brief History of Chinese Novels), and Zheng Zhenduo's life time was about 1, 328 to 1, 398 (Romance of the Three Kingdoms, China Literature, Volume I, Evolution) As for his name, Qing Jiaqing's reprinted Biography of Yang Meisheng's Heroes of the Three Kingdoms in Ming Dynasty is the Romance of Luo Guanzhong in Yuan Dynasty, and Gao Ru's Hundred Rivers in Ming Dynasty records the popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms as unofficial history, the Historian Department, and Ji Bian, Ming Luo. Each book spans the Yuan and Ming Dynasties and is divided into two dynasties. As for his name, The Ghost Book Continuation only records the manuscripts of Luo Guanzhong and Minglangying, Volume 23, Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Sung River, and Volume 25, The Journey to the West. As for his native place, the sequel to Ghost Record calls Luo Guanzhong a Taiyuan native, while the novels published in the Ming Dynasty, such as The Three Kingdoms and The Water Margin, mostly refer to "East Luo Guanzhong". Dongyuan is equivalent to Dongping, Wenshang and Ningyang in Shandong Province today. The seven-revision manuscript is called "Luo Ren Ben Guan Zhong in Hangzhou", "Notes on the West Lake Tour" is called "Qiantang Luo Guanzhong Ben", and the book shadow of Zhou Lianggong in the early Qing Dynasty is called "Yue Luoren Guan Zhong", and it is suspected that "Taiyuan" recorded in "Ghost Book Sequel" is Luo Guanzhong's ancestral home, and Hangzhou is the place where Luo Guanzhong actually lives and activities. "Dongyuan" should be mistaken by "Taiyuan", just like the signature of Water Margin was changed from "Dongyuan" to "Zhongyuan". As for Luo Guanzhong's life, Ghost Book Continuation records Luo Guanzhong's "loneliness with others", "repeated hardships" and "separation from Jia". Chen Ji said that Luo Guanzhong and Ge Kejiu "all want to be kings". Because a "god" like Zhu Yuanzhang unified the world, Ge "sent an imperial doctor" and Luo "passed on the history of the past". Luo Guanzhong was born in the social unrest at the end of Yuan Dynasty, and he had his own political ideals. He didn't agree with the secular, ran around and took part in the anti-Yuan uprising. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he ended his political career and devoted himself to novel creation. In the Qing Dynasty, Xu's inscription on the picture of eight generals of a hundred murderers painted by Xu is also called "Luo Guanzhong is a guest who imitates Wu and wants to satirize the sincerity of literati". It is a legend, but it is not impossible. In the third year of the Ming Dynasty's apocalypse, Huang Zhengfu printed the popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the trip to the West Lake was called Luo Guanzhong's "compiling dozens of novels". It is said that he has a masterpiece of the Romance of the Seventeenth History. Today, his signature novels include Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties, Biography of the History of Tang and Five Dynasties and Biography of Sansui Pingyao.
