We should adopt a practical and realistic approach to study the time of CAO Xue qin's birth.If all the materials and clues show that CAO Xue qin was born in Eighth,May of Chinese lunar calendar,1716,we ought to determine the time as quickly as possible.It's in the 21th century now,and there are twelve or thirteen years away from the celebrating of CAO Xue qin's birthday for three hundred year.It is pressed for time to solve the time of CAO Xue qin's birth.
