In the second year of Yongchun, Gaozong died, Zhongzong Li Xian came to the throne, and Wu became the empress dowager. In the first year of Sisheng, Li Xian was deposed as King of Luling and Li Dan was made emperor. Empress Wu took charge of the dynasty and began the era of truly arbitrary dynasty policy.

The work is based on the anecdotal and secret history of Zeng Zuo and Peng San of the Qing Dynasty, and the cycle of Dao, Xian, Tongguang, and the four dynasties to narrate a period of history in the late Qing Dynasty. The late Qing Dynasty was a troubled time, with raging peasant uprisings and foreign invasions of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which shocked the emperor. This exposed the hypocrisy, cunning, stubbornness and corruption of the powerful officials, and outlined the artistic image of the representative figures of the feudal bureaucracy. The structure of the book is rigorous and dense; the events and characters written are terrifying. In the face of internal and external troubles, the three heroes Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and Peng Yulin, as loyal defenders of the Qing feudal dynasty, stepped forward to stabilize the country and fight against the outside world. They were the so-called "Three Heroes in Troubled Times". The work is based on the Jintian Uprising, the scene is as real as ever and the image is alive.

The whole book mainly narrates the story of Xuanzang's Buddhist scriptures of the Tang Dynasty, in which the Monkey Walker is the main character. He showed his magical powers in order to help Master Tripitaka. The plot of the work is relatively simple. There is no image of Zhu Bajie, but there is a description of subduing the Shensha God, and the Shensha God may be the prototype of Sha Monk. Therefore, some people say that this book has the prototype of "Journey to the West". "The Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty" was a famous legendary drama at that time. The final development result was the classic "Journey to the West", which is of far-reaching significance. This book can be considered an indispensable milestone in the writing process of "Journey to the West". This book, as the framework of the mythical story, has basically taken shape. In the book, a character who calls himself "The Eighty-Four Copper-headed and Iron-fronted Macaque King of Ziyun Cave in Huaguo Mountain" has appeared in the book. This is obviously the predecessor of Sun Wukong. In addition, the prototype of the sand monk - the deep sand god - appeared.

"The Journey to the East", also known as "The Journey to the East", narrates that Bodhidharma set out from South India, traveled from west to east, passed through the East India Country, and then went to the Kingdom of Sinian to explain his evolution process. The author has carefully created a large number of strange demon images. Some of them are human beings, like the four demons of wine, lust, wealth, and wealth, who were originally apprentices of the giant turtle wizard; some are human psychological illusions. They bring various harms to society, such as brotherly disharmony, marital disharmony, etc., All created by their manipulation, and they are always in opposition to the ancestor Bodhidharma and the Venerable Mido. The novel seems to be about gods, monsters, grotesque, illusory and magical, but in fact it reveals various contradictions in society and families in the late Ming Dynasty, and truly paints a unique picture of the total collapse of the feudal society in the last days.

This book is a classic work written by the Qing Dynasty novelist Wu Jianren. It was first published in the form of a serial novel in Shanghai's "World Prosperity Newspaper" in the 32nd year of Guangxu's reign. The works mainly reflect the dark reality of officialdom in Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other regions during the late Qing Dynasty. At the same time, it also adds some high-level summaries and discussions on the current situation of the officialdom at that time, which has the effect of warning the times and saving the world. 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. Due to its limited circulation and age, this book is now difficult to access. 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.
