The author of A Dream of Red Mansions skillfully uses homophonic names to express his writing thoughts.

Jia, Xue, Wang and Shi have the same pronunciation as "open mind".

"Qin Keqing" is the homonym of "feeling can be touched". According to the sentence pattern of "Tao can be touched" in Tao Te Ching, "feeling can be touched" should be followed by "extraordinary feeling". Qin Keqing is having an affair with her father-in-law. Jia Baoyu, as an uncle, met people in a fairyland in Qin Keqing's bedroom. It was the word "very affectionate".

Qin Keqing's younger brother, Qin Zhong, is homophonic for "loving plants". Some people think that Jia Baoyu was planted in Ningguo House and grew up in Guorong House. "Ningguofu" is homophonic "Ningguofu", which is a place where boundless love with heaven condenses into an emotional body. The names of four generations of men in Ningguo Mansion are Jia Daihua, Jia Jing, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, which are connected by homophony to "replace (be) pure truth" and condense Jia Baoyu into an emotional body.

Twelve women among the twelve women, Yuan, Ying, Tan, Four Sisters and Second Sister-in-law, homophonic "should be late"; Baochai, Daiyu, Ke Qing, Qiaojie, Miaoyu and Xiangyun. The homonym "poor and lustful and clever clouds" forms a couplet.

Jia Baoyu's judgment is "Do you love or not", which is based on "flowers are not flowers". Bai Juyi's Flowers Are Not Flowers describes frosty flowers that condense on windows in northern winter nights. Jia Baoyu's experience, like frost flowers, was brilliant for a while and fleeting. It can be used as a horizontal couplet.

Therefore, Cao Xueqin summed up the story of A Dream of Red Mansions with a pair of couplets: I should have lamented that the spring breeze came late, but my passion was smart; Cross-examination: don't like it. There is another implication: everything is blown like a cloud by the west wind (Wang Xifeng) (the homonym of Shi Xiangyun).

Beads, all of them

Baochai, firewood

Qingbaoqin

Treasure toad, pester

Baoyuyu

Sleeping violently with the piano, "Yuan" died suddenly in spring.

The four pretty maids who got Xiangyun's crimson stone ring are xiren, Yuanyang, Jin Chuaner and Pinger, which are homophonic: let bygones be bygones or let bygones be bygones.
