Features: The second volume of "Ancient Fun" compiles over 130 ancient jokes created by Ding Conghui between 1986 and 1989. It was previously published in 1992 by our store as "Volume Three of Ding Conghui's Comic Series" and is now included in the newly compiled "Ding Conghui's Comic Series." The author selects jokes from a vast collection of ancient Chinese humor that resonate with contemporary social life, accompanied by vivid and humorous illustrations. These jokes either satirize corrupt officials, wealthy but unscrupulous local figures, or mock hypocritical and pretentious scholars. They were not only enjoyed by the ancients but also appreciated by modern readers. The combination of text and illustration creates a delightful contrast, serving not only as a source of entertainment after meals but also as a mirror to reflect on the past and understand the present, with the power to correct social ills.
