Those Scholars Who Seek the Country
by Hao Shuaibin
About This Novel
Chinese scholars have always had a sense of seeking the country and a spirit of becoming officials. This point has been established since the beginning of the establishment of Zhou official culture. Scholars who enter officialdom each have their own ups and downs, happiness and misfortune. This collection of historical essays brings together scholars' various experiences in officialdom. There was Li Hongzhang who took the Confucian spirit of doing what was impossible to do to the extreme, and there was Chen Bulei who thought he was the king and followed the right path but went astray. There is Chao Cuo who is good at planning for the country but not good at finding a career; there is Wang Meng who failed in his efforts to save the country; there is Cui Hao who dreamed of writing a great national history but embarked on a road of no return; there is Kong Rong who was an honest and indignant man who finally died a martyr; there is the first Fan Zhongyan, who took the world as his own responsibility, and the scholar-bureaucrat group behind him were in political prosperity. There was also the Qingyuan Party Ban and the disintegration of the scholar-bureaucrat group that it symbolized, such as the inability to gather consensus on reform, internal strife, and self-destruction.
