Four families:

The four families in A Dream of Red Mansions refer to the feudal bureaucratic group headed by Jia Fu. They were so powerful that they were among the "official protection symbols" at that time. These four families are related, damaged, sharing weal and woe, supporting and covering, and taking care of.
