According to the current reliable information, Cao Xueqin had not finished writing 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. According to the first chapter of " Dream of the Red Chamber "," Zhen Shiyin's Dream, Psychic Awareness, Jia Yucun's Misery," Cao Xueqin wrote the part about " Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu's Biography " because she had " reviewed it five times in ten years ", so she did not finish it. There are two different explanations as to why the last forty chapters were lost. One theory was that Cao Xueqin passed away while writing 'Dream of the Red Chamber', and his descendants continued to write it. However, because the quality of the continuation was not as good as Cao Xueqin's, the last 40 chapters and the first 80 chapters were very different and even could not be coherent. Another theory was that 'Dream of the Red Chamber' was originally written by two different authors. Later, a conflict between the two authors resulted in only the first 80 chapters of the copyright belonging to Cao Xueqin himself, while the other 40 chapters were owned by another author. Due to copyright disputes and other reasons, the last 40 chapters were not fully preserved and organized, so it is impossible to fully understand its content.
