The author of A Dream of Red Mansions is controversial:
In the Qing Dynasty, the author of A Dream of Red Mansions was a mystery. "There are different opinions about who it comes from." History books record several sayings, such as the son of Pearl, the son of Cao Yin and the grandson of Cao Yin. Hu Shi judged that Cao Xueqin, the grandson of Cao Yin, was the prototype of Jia Baoyu, and concluded that he was the author of A Dream of Red Mansions.
Since the 1970s, Cao Xueqin's copyright has been questioned by red scholars such as Dai Bufan. Because there are differences between the last forty chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions and the first eighty chapters in terms of ideological will, Baochai's personality and artistic style, scholars such as Hu Shi, Yu Pingbo, Gu Jiegang, wu shichang, Zhou, Zhou, and Zhou awarded Gao E the copyright of the last forty chapters.
