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.

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.
