Features: This is a magnificent work that reflects the dynamics of the official world. The official world is an important stage in the long course of human history. Here, you may not see gunpowder smoke, but do you constantly feel the danger of bullets and gunfire? You may not see flashing swords, but do you everywhere experience the chilling cold of bloody battles? In the official world, you may advance smoothly and achieve your ambitions; but you may also tread on thin ice and act cautiously. In serving as an official, many heroes and geniuses are immortalized in history, and many are forced to bow to the powerful. Opening and reading The Great Series of Scolding Novels on the Official World of China, you may become familiar with the struggles for power and profit, insincerity, hypocrisy, outward compliance and hidden opposition, indulgence in lust and extravagance, infighting among family members, and indifference to kinship in the official world. You can also feel the strategies of power politics, such as serving superiors, maintaining harmony, shifting with the wind, flattery, self-preservation, feigning stupidity, sharp-tongued but treacherous, and taking advantage of crises. You may benefit from it for life.
This is a collection of the finest works depicting the official world across generations, each piece uniquely distinctive. The book contains renowned works, including the widely beloved satirical novel The Scholars, as well as the four great scolding novels: The Real Story of the Official World, Strange Currents in the Last Twenty Years, Lao Can's Journey, and Flowers in the Sea of Suffering. There are also works that cannot be missed, such as The Recent Secret History of the Official World, Cold-Eyed Observation, and The Living Hell.
Like a series of historical scrolls depicting the ugliness of the official world, they thoroughly reveal all aspects of the official world across China's history. Closing the book and reflecting, it makes people respect the honest, good, and parental officials, while hating the corrupt, evil, and ignorant officials.
This is a rare and extraordinary work that has been repeatedly banned. Because each piece critiques the corruption of the official world, exposes its darkness, and reveals the operation of power, while the ugly phenomena it exposes and condemns carry certain political and social implications, and the characters it portrays have certain typicality and representativeness, coupled with obscene descriptions of indecent behavior and indulgence in lust, it has long been repeatedly banned. But the more it is banned, the more it proves its value and charm, making people eager to read it.
Now, as you read this, it is offered for appreciation and analysis, serving as a reminder.
