《儒林外史》是吴敬梓先生的一部具有对现实社会、封建制度和人际交往深刻揭露和批判的小说。作品的写作方式极尽辛辣讽刺,表现出对黑暗现实的反思,但作品还从正面表露出贫苦百姓之间相互同情、相依为命的情怀,并由此考察出作品写作的角度。 “Scholars” is a novel written by Wu Jingzi with profound revelation and criticism of the real society, the feudal system and interpersonal relationships. His works are extremely pungent and satirical, showing his reflection on the dark reality. However, the works also show the sympathetic and dependent feelings of the poor people from the front, and then examine the writing of the works.
