Confused World

About This Novel

This book is a classic work written by the Qing Dynasty novelist Wu Jianren. It was first published in the form of a serial novel in Shanghai's "World Prosperity Newspaper" in the 32nd year of Guangxu's reign. The works mainly reflect the dark reality of officialdom in Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other regions during the late Qing Dynasty. At the same time, it also adds some high-level summaries and discussions on the current situation of the officialdom at that time, which has the effect of warning the times and saving the world. As far as the writing technique of the novel is concerned, the author adopts realistic documentary. He faithfully recorded what he saw and heard in the officialdom at that time, and used the structure of "The Scholars" to connect them from person to thing. The author uses the name "Confused World", which can make people deeply feel the critical significance of it. This is also a hint of the author's self-contained praise and blame in the writing style of writing about people and events. It can enable us to observe the events and understand its meaning when reading this novel, and achieve a warning effect of reviewing the past and learning the new. Due to its limited circulation and age, this book is now difficult to access. The author's brush strokes range from provincial and state governors to tailors, matchmakers, and public houses, vividly painting a picture of a society in which right and wrong are reversed and black and white are indistinguishable. This confused and confusing current situation is all caused by the chaos of officialdom and corruption in the officialdom. It is still very enlightening for today's readers.
