The origin of Cao Xueqin

Cao Xueqin (1715-1763), named Zhan, was named mengruan and Xueqin. His ancestral home is Fengrun in Tangshan, Hebei Province. Born in Nanjing, he is the 16th grandson of the Tieling branch of Cao's family in Fengrun.

According to historical records, Cao Yin, Cao Xueqin's grandfather, lived in Fengrun for a long time. He was very familiar with his ancestral home and had deep feelings for his relatives and the landscape. As for whether Cao Xueqin had been to Fengrun, there is no written record. However, there are many rich shadows in a dream of Red Mansions, which shows that he has a better understanding of the situation.

The description of Rongfu and Ningfu in a dream of Red Mansions is very similar to that of Fengrun Cao's two architectural communities. In the 53rd chapter of a dream of Red Mansions, Wu Jinxiao of Zhuangtou, Ningguo mansion, presented his new year's tribute to his master Jia Zhenjin. Xiaoquan village in Yutian County, 25 kilometers away from Fengrun County, is a special business of the Cao family in Fengrun county. The pink rice produced in this village is called "rouge rice". Up to now, the old people in this village remember that the Cao family of Fengrun built a new business here, and the Cao family came here to collect rent. The word "Yutian" in the early version of a dream of Red Mansions was written as "Yutian".

In addition, Cao Xueqin also used a large number of Fengrun dialect in his works, such as "daobianer" in the meaning of temporary borrowing, "filling in" in the meaning of giving benefits to others, and "clean" in the meaning of beautiful, etc., all of which are dialect in Fengrun area.
