"The Scholars" is an outstanding realistic satirical novel in the history of Chinese literature.The content written is fake Ming Dynasty, but real Qing Dynasty, and more than ten percent of the characters are real people.

It truly depicts the ups and downs of intellectuals' life during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, the ups and downs of circumstances, the gains and losses of fame, the ups and downs of official careers, the noble and despicable sentiments, the advocacy and disillusionment of ideals, and the exploration and pursuit of the way out.

Wu Jingzi affirms or denies the characters in the book with an attitude towards fame and wealth. For example, Kuang Chaoren forged documents and pretended to take the exam on behalf of others, but he was awarded excellent performance by Wenzhou Xuezheng. The predecessor, Zhou Xuetai, held excellent deeds; when the author lashed out at ugly things, he also praised positive characters. Wang Mian is the first-rate character in the book, and he is upright. He Bu Daddy is also praised by the author.

Cheng Jinfang said in "Huairen Poems": "Foreign historians record Confucian scholars, and He Gongyan is portrayed; our people are sad, but they are passed down in history!"

In "The Scholars", Wu Jingzi used simple, flexible, and humorous local "language" to write about the corruption and darkness of the imperial examination system, the vulgarity of pseudonyms, and the despicableness of corrupt officials.Hu Shi described this book: The country uses the signs of Confucianism and Mencius every day. In fact, people are not allowed to speak the words of Confucianism and Mencius, and they are not allowed to practice the teachings of Confucianism and Mencius. As long as people read stereotyped essays and write test post poems; You don’t have to be particular about it, but if you’re particular about it, who will do it for you?
