A long satirical novel depicting a group of intellectuals. It depicts the absurdities and hypocrisies of the Confucian scholars who were poisoned by the Eight Sticks, deprecates and satirises the fake Confucian scholars and famous scholars, and criticises the corrupt worldly atmosphere of the time. It is an example of ancient Chinese satire, pioneering the use of fiction as a direct commentary on real life.
