A Dream of Jinling (3) - Nanjing Jiangning Imperial Silk Manufacturing Museum

When it comes to Jiangning Imperial Silk Manufacturing, do you think of Cao Xueqin? Growing up in the Jiangning Imperial Silk Manufacturing Bureau in Jinling City, he saw the ups and downs of the political world and witnessed the rise and fall of his family. He condensed what he saw, thought, and felt into his writing, creating the masterpiece "Dream of the Red Chamber," which allows us to glimpse into the Jiangning Imperial Silk Manufacturing Bureau through literature.
