About This Novel
"The Flower of Evil" is one of the four major condemnation novels of the late Qing Dynasty that appeared almost at the same time as "The Appearance of Officialdom", "The Strange Current Situation I Witnessed in Twenty Years" and "Old Can's Travels". The book takes the marriage life story of the number one scholar Jin Wenqing (alluding to Hong Jun) and the famous courtesan Fu Caiyun (alluding to Zhao Caiyun) as the main plot line. It cuts and refines the profiles of important historical events and related anecdotes in the past thirty years into a chapter, reflecting the political and cultural changes in the specific historical stage from the middle of Tongzhi to the late Guangxu of the late Qing Dynasty.
