it seems the dream of red mansion is a favoruite catch phrase of your banter , there is a count of more than a few times when you caught in a corner you had to rely on a ficitonal work as dream of red mansionwhich is not a historical authorized work, as i had meniotned the sale oftitle lik eming shen univeristy student wasin use in the early qing, i dont seethe connectio and whats the point you are bringing up the sale of titles,and the relevance as you can see the topic is fmaily generation poem, you sound like you are digressing and adoptinga irreconcilible attitude and to obfuscate a decent conversation with diatribe and polemic/rhethoricinsinuations that you have not seen family generation poems more than 200 years ago ,i think in this area you are an ignoramous, how do you explain the fmaily generation poemof confucuiusand bao zhen which was in use even in th esung dynasty and the escendets even today know ther relation and rnak through the family generation poem. also a family generation poemof mao tze tung whose ancestor mao tai yi had composed in the early ming dynastyand chiang kai shek and had been publihsed inbooks in english,titlewhich explains whats in a name which you have repeatedly reititeratedare you implying by nuancemy family has something to do with buying of titles,are you trying to imply something, lets thrash things out and be upfront
my assesemment is you are seriously misrepresenting and minsinterpreting the age of fmaily generation poems based on your bias leanings towards the dream of red mansion, which is at most a semi fictional work, take my advice anduse a source of reference which is historical and accepted by schoalrs.literati alike
