About This Novel
"The Complete Collection of Historical Romance in the Late Qing Dynasty and the Early Republic of China" touches on the relationship between the so-called "patronage network structure" in the late Qing Dynasty and the decline of the dynasty in the form of a novel. As Fairbank pointed out in "The Cambridge History of China in the Late Qing Dynasty", "the formation of a special form of political behavior in China during the Qing Dynasty, that is, the patronage network structure" was the root cause of bribery, nepotism, the prevalence of nepotism and political corruption in the officialdom of the late Qing Dynasty. "Historical Romance of the Late Qing Dynasty and the Early Republic of China" chronicles a series of anecdotes of important political figures, exposing and condemning the ugliness of officials in the late Qing Dynasty and the shady officialdom. It also reflects on the historical phenomenon of the patronage network structure constantly exceeding the controllable range and turning the political system into a tool of "self-interest" from a historical perspective. This also makes "Historical Romance of the Late Qing Dynasty and the Early Republic of China" go beyond the scope of general condemnation novels and have a more profound significance.
