The Appearance of Officialdom (classical Library)
by K
About This Novel
This book ranks first among the "Four Condemned Novels" and represents the highest achievement of late Qing novels. The late Qing Dynasty was a period of total collapse of our country's feudal society. The darkness of government and official corruption had reached their peak. "The Appearance of Officialdom" uses a pen like a raft to fully expose the various scandals of the officialdom at that time from all aspects and angles: eating, drinking, gambling, prostitution, selling offices and winning titles, giving and taking bribes, taking bribes and bending the law, practicing malpractice for personal gain, squeezing the people, disregarding human life, seeking glory from outsiders... What is presented to the reader is like a picture of the ugliness of the officialdom, with smooth and penetrating writing. Moreover, "The Appearance of Officialdom" ruthlessly exposes the scandals in officialdom, and does not stop at the moral condemnation of the individual behaviors of the officials concerned. Instead, it attempts to conduct a profound analysis and criticism of the feudal bureaucracy as a whole. It essentially conducts a meticulous and severe examination of the various shortcomings of the bureaucracy, which profoundly reflects the essential characteristics of late Qing society.

The idea of official standardization is the basis of feudal rule. Power, the practical benefits and increasing desires that come with power formed the material and spiritual backbone of officials in the old days.

From this book, people can more or less get the "technique" of being an official, as well as some enlightenment about officialdom. Turn around, this is the main goal before becoming an official.
