Today's online articles are all leftovers from the ancients! Of course, this is a bit rebellious.
But you have to know that authors who can write group portrait novels well are definitely rare, and as early as the Qing Dynasty, there was already such a master, his name was Wu Jingzi. "The Scholars" is his masterpiece.
"The Scholars" is a long satirical novel written by Wu Jingzi that took more than 20 years to create. It takes "fame and wealth" as the main line and depicts the lives of more than 200 scholars. It can be called a model of ancient group portrait novels. Among them, there are famous scenes such as Fan Jin passing the imperial examination and strict supervision of students cherishing lamp grass. They criticize the shackles of the imperial examination and highlight the true nature of human nature.
The novel pioneered the "serial biography" narrative and firmly ranks at the pinnacle of classical satirical novels. It has also been adapted into TV series, plays, etc., And is the most familiar classical literary work to the Chinese public, second only to the four major classics.

Okay, okay, I know, I know, haha
This is the first time I read this book. No matter in terms of conception, meaning, paragraphs, diction, or diction, it is all very well written. In particular, the various characters depicted are vivid and very representative.
The classic works are really nice and interesting, and tell the story of the vicissitudes of the world.
What a classic!
Sure enough, it's still a good book
