《中华经典小说注释系列：红楼梦（套装上中下册）》是中国古代小说中反映时代最深刻的作品。曹雪芹身经从荣华富贵到贫困潦倒的大悲欢，使他对社会和人生有着清醒透彻的理解。他对贾氏家族的种种弊病劣迹和子弟们的荒淫腐朽进行了不遗余力的揭露，并借以批判整个社会日益朽坏的上层建筑和意识形态，包括皇权制度、官僚制度、科举制度、宗法等级制度、婚姻制度以及礼法、道德观念。小说通过贾府在政治上的衰落、道德上的腐败、经济上的崩溃、子弟的一代不如一代，预示着旧的制度必将走向没落的趋势。(The Chinese Classic Novels with Explanatory Notes: Dream of Red Mansions (3 Books in total) is one of ancient Chinese novels that reflects the corresponding era most profoundly. Cao Xueqin went through big joys and sorrows from high position and great wealth to poverty, making him have a clear and thorough understanding of the society and life. He spared no effort to reveal the malpractices and misdeeds of Jia Family and the depraved and dissolute life of their children for the purpose of criticizing the increasingly decayed superstructure and ideology, including the imperial system, bureaucratic system, imperial examination system, patriarchal clan hierarchy, marriage system and etiquettes and rites, and moral values. Through the description of the political decline, moral decay, economic collapse, and degeneration of the children of Jia Family, the novel indicates that the old system will inevitably go into a declining trend.)
