"The Appearance of Officialdom" is a social portrait at the end of the feudal dynasty. It depicts subjects ranging from the empress dowager and the emperor, to frontier officials, to minor officials, traffickers, and even gangsters and prostitutes, covering all walks of life and identities. It is known as the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in the late Qing Dynasty. The book not only exposes the individual misdeeds of the Qing government officials who were fatuous and corrupt, but also comprehensively attacked the dark decay of the entire political system at the end of the feudal dynasty from various angles, pointing out that the "official-based" system will naturally lead to moral decay and the darkness of officialdom.
