According to the World Cup (Telling About the Humanities and Sophistication of Ancient Society)

"The World Cup" is a collection of vernacular short stories from the Qing Dynasty. It has the artistic style of a vernacular novel and is different from the clichéd works of talented men and beautiful ladies. For readers who like classical Chinese novels, this book is not to be missed. The book was written in the last years of Shunzhi. There are four volumes in the book, each telling a story. The work is relatively long and describes the sordid world and human emotions. It can be said to be a classic book for understanding that era. "The World Cup" is different from the story-telling novels that circulate among the people on their own. It is a typical example of literati participating in the creation of novels. The work depicts the world and human emotions in a very real and vivid way, and is also full of exposure and satire. Therefore, it is considered to be the forerunner of the later condemnation novels. "Zhao World Cup" has a strong artistic appeal. The four volumes of the novel depict the world in a real and profound way, and are full of irony. For example, the ugly portrayal of Taigong Mu in Volume Four is extremely vivid, exaggerated but not distorted, and the satire on his greed and stinginess is extremely harsh and vivid. The language of the novel is humorous and playful, which makes people understand. In addition, Volume Three describes market trade on the border of Guangxi, and Volume Four describes gambling situations. Both can be used as materials for folklore research and have high social and historical value.
