"The Scholars" is a novel with intellectuals as the main description object, and it is also a typical satirical novel. It describes some images of Confucian scholars who were deeply poisoned by the eight-part imperial examination system.

Although life was extremely difficult, he still couldn't forget the imperial examination. Zhou Jin passed by an examination room and went in to watch. He was touched by a lifetime of bitterness and pain. He burst into tears and was so sad that he could not help but feel miserable. Later, with the help of some small businessmen, he took the exam and won the sympathy of the examiner, and things turned around. When he passed the exam, those who had ridiculed him in the past came to flatter him and praised him as the most knowledgeable person. Another example is Fan Jin.
