Zhang Ye pointed to the projected image, “This poem might not be famous, and might not even be found in today’s advanced search engines. It can only be found in libraries, but I want to remind everyone. Don’t look down on this tiny piece of information. In the research of ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’, this poem is extremely valuable. Who is Lanshu? He is Gao E, whose pen name is Lanshu. A Qing dynasty poet, Zhang Wentao, has already told us that the chapters after the eightieth chapter of ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’ were supplemented by Gao E!”
Senior Song mulled over it before shaking her head, “This word ‘supplement’ has a lot of meanings. Finding something that is lost can also be considered as a ‘supplement’. If there are missing words or pages, filling in the blanks can also be considered ‘supplement’. This word ‘supplement’ is similar to ‘patching’ , so it can’t explain anything.” As a straight A student, she was truly talented.
Professor Zeng nodded upon hearing this.
The other Peking University teachers and students similar agreed with Senior Song’s points.
