The Four Steps to the Sky

"The Appearance of Officialdom" is Li Baojia's masterpiece and one of the four condemning novels in the late Qing Dynasty.Li Xiqi said: "Most of the things written are real people and real things."However, none of the real names are used, and the pseudonyms used also have meanings.

Lu Xun said: "It is very fast to get it because of the requirements of the current situation, so "The Appearance of Officialdom" suddenly became famous."

This book is eager to express the characteristics of the Chinese era at that time, focusing on exposing the dirty and despicable bureaucrats. The content lacks detailed embellishments, the characters lack typicalization, and the descriptions are too exaggerated and written with sharp brushstrokes, making the content not intriguing enough.

The plots are similar with minor differences, and it is unavoidable to be chaotic and repetitive as they are written over and over again, and because they are written along with the magazine, the structure is similar to "The Scholars", so it appears messy and undisciplined.

Lu Xun said that all the stories he narrated were catered to, exploited, confused, exploited, and swayed, etc., and also reflected the enthusiasm of scholars for being officials and the hidden feelings of officials in their boudoirs.The clues are complicated, and the characters are reunited, so the records start with one person, that is, they end with the person, if it is interrupted or continued, it is similar to "Scholars".

"Lao Can's Travel Notes", one of the four major denunciation novels in the late Qing Dynasty, signed by Hongdu Bailiansheng (also known as Hongdu Bailiansheng), written by Liu E (1857-1909) in the Qing Dynasty, has 20 main chapters and 9 sequels , a volume of incomplete manuscripts edited outside, describing what Jianghu doctor Lao Can saw, heard, and did during his travels.
