Is Dream of the Red Chamber the strangest novel? Why?There were a few reasons why 'Dream of the Red Chamber' was regarded as a novel full of strange elements:
In terms of plot and characters, there were many terrifying things. For example, when Yuan Chun visited his parents, Grandmother Jia and the others waited outside the door in the early hours of the morning until between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. before Yuan Chun left. In feudal society, it was unreasonable for a daughter to return to her mother's house in the middle of the night. Moreover, Yuan Chun returned to the palace at the third quarter of the morning (1:45 a.m.), which was just before the rooster crowed, as if implying that Yuan Chun was no longer alive.
Xue Baochai also had many suspicious points. She was supposed to take the Cold Fragrance Pill for life, but after Jinchuan committed suicide by jumping into a well (12 noon on the Dragon Boat Festival), this habit disappeared. She even let Jinchuan wear her own clothes for burial, but she did not care about the taboo of the dead wearing the clothes of the living. In addition, when Granny Liu visited the Grand View Garden, she didn't say a word about her lifeless room with only chrysanthemums. There were also details such as the reaction of the Taoist priest when he saw her. They were all considered abnormal.
Looking at the environment and other aspects, the gloomy and bone-piercing atmosphere of the garden, with withered grass and broken caltrops, and only vines, was also considered unusual.
From the plot of Jia Yun giving Bai Begonia, the two pots of white Begonia triggered a series of seemingly related events, including the fate of the characters, which also showed a strange feeling.
In the plot of Granny Liu's conquest, Granny Liu was estranged from the Jia family, but she could attack the Jia family. Moreover, according to the timeline she said, the age of the children of the dog family, Ban 'er and Qing' er, was difficult to explain and somewhat strange.
However, calling 'Dream of the Red Chamber' the 'strangest novel' was a more subjective view. 'Dream of the Red Chamber' was essentially a realistic masterpiece that depicted the rise and fall of a family in a feudal society, as well as the various aspects of human nature. The so-called "strange" elements in it could also be seen as the author's use of symbols, metaphor, and other literary techniques to hint at the fate of the characters, the fate of the family, and the criticism of feudal society.

The strangest emperorIn history, there were many emperors who were described as strange. For example, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen, was extremely thrifty. His thriftiness could even be said to be abnormal. In terms of food and drink, his expenses were only one percent of Emperor Wanli's. In terms of clothing, he would wear a set of clothes for at least a month, and after changing them, he would continue to wear them the next month. He also changed the gold and silver utensils in the palace into wooden porcelain, and the precious utensils were sealed in the palace treasury to reward the ministers. He lived in a small and simple side hall, boiled water and washed himself, and saved as much entertainment as possible. Moreover, his frugality was also implemented in his ruling style, such as the abolition of the relay station. Although this move saved money, it also caused many of the relay station staff to be laid off and unemployed. Some people joined the uprising army, and Li Zicheng was one of them.
There was also an emperor from the Sixteen Kingdoms period. When he was born, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. It was very similar to the UFO incident. He had experienced all kinds of mysterious things such as the " Giant Black Dragon ". For example, when the soldiers saw an unknown object, he called it a black dragon. Then, he picked up a scale that might be a metal fragment of the spaceship. He seemed to know about the appearance of the unknown object. The word " Giant " on his left elbow might be a signal from outer space. He could also predict the future through dreams and communicate with ghosts and gods.

The strangest painting in the worldThe following are some of the weirder famous paintings in the world:
- Skeleton Fantasy Play Painting, created by Li Song of the Southern Song Dynasty, 800 years ago. The content of the picture was strange. At first glance, it would give people the illusion that it was a skeleton tricking a child, but in fact, the theme was the transformation of life and death and the cycle of karma. In the picture, a skeleton was controlling a small skeleton. Behind the big skeleton was a woman who was nursing. On both sides of the picture were children and women, showing the opposition between stillness and movement, thought and action.
- Painting of a Made-up Lady: More than 1200 years ago, at first glance, it has the elegance and gentleness of the ancients, but there are many strange things after careful investigation. The makeup artist in the painting did not match the proportion of the face in the mirror. The angle of the mirror and the painting showed that there seemed to be a " head " on the chair where the person in the painting was sitting. There was also a long white cloth on the table that did not match. The woman behind her stood far away from the lady. Some people speculated that it was related to the " painted skin."
- "Girl in the Rain" was created by the Ukraine female painter Svetlana Teretz. Many people would feel a sense of panic and depression at first glance. After the painting was exhibited, the businesswoman and the banker who bought it returned because of hallucinations such as the woman walking out of the painting. The painter himself also suffered from auditory hallucinations and hallucinations after taking back the painting. Later, it was discovered that the canvas was contaminated by hallucinogen, but the depression, fear and other discomfort of the painting itself still existed. The black, white and gray tones, the deformed characters, and the misty picture all brought a strong sense of panic.
