But HU Shi thought that it' s impossible treated it as an ironclad proof that CHENG Wei-yuan collaborated with GAO E to fake it up, the viewpoint that the Continuation of the last forty chapters written by GAO E became a final conclusion. The personage who are proficient in the one-time captical old customs think that it's logical necessary to get the missing parts from peddlars. So HU Shi' s viewpoint is untenable.
