Extended data:

The background of scholars;

The background of The Scholars is the reign of Kang Yong in Qing Dynasty. At this time, the capitalist relations of production have sprouted in China, but the superficial prosperity of society still can't cover up the decay of feudal society. When the rulers suppressed the armed uprising, they promoted literary inquisition, adopted stereotyped examination, opened the imperial examination, and advocated neo-Confucianism to rule scholars.

The author Wu was born in a famous family. Great-grandfather and grandfather were two generations of "imperial examination officials", but he himself opposed stereotyped writing and the imperial examination system and hated literati who were obsessed with art and keen on pursuing fame and fortune. He reflected these views in The Scholars and exposed the ugly things in a sarcastic way.

The word "Confucian scholars" in the title of the book comes from Historical Records Biography of Confucian Scholars. It is "the scholars", which refers to the academic circles and so on. The author took Waishi as the title, just to distinguish it from the official history. In fact, it described the extensive social life of the Qing Dynasty and reflected the bad luck of his contemporaries under the poison of the imperial examination system.
