Synopsis

"Ten-Tailed Turtle" is a novel about world affairs with a strong social criticism in the late Qing Dynasty, written by Lu Shi'e, a late Qing scholar. The whole book uses the "ten-tailed turtle" as a metaphor, using the name of absurdity and weirdness to criticize the reality of the current ills. By describing the various situations in the market, the ups and downs of officialdom, and the good and evil of human nature, it profoundly exposes the decadence and moral decay of the feudal apocalyptic society. The book takes the protagonist's travels and experiences as the main thread, connecting bureaucratic corruption, merchant fraud, scholar hypocrisy, people's poverty and other life situations. As one of the representative works of condemnation novels in the late Qing Dynasty, "The Ten-Tailed Turtle" not only reflects the absurdity of reality with fantastic imagination, but also explores the subtleties of human nature with a cold writing style, providing a unique perspective for studying the cultural mentality of the modern social transformation period.
