Influence of official appearance record works

Li Boyuan's Officialdom in the Sky. Since 1903 was serialized in World Prosperity, this piece of Laughing and Scolding was very popular in Shanghai for a while, and 1906 was published as a single book. Wu Woyao, a contemporary, said: "When I visited Jia, many novels were written by others. Xiao Jun is famous for publishing, and his opinion is more important than society. " Gu Ruogang mentioned such a thing in the article "The Author of Officialdom in Appearance". "The book" Appearance "is very popular. Empress Dowager Cixi asked for a book and investigated it by name. The official made mistakes, which led to a great shock in the title and a wide market. " It is doubtful whether the official accusation is true, but the book was very popular at that time, but it was true. Since the publication of this book, there have been more than ten new books named after officialdom, such as Reform of Officialdom (1906), Emergence of New Officialdom (1907), Emergence of Post-Officialdom (1908) and Romance of Officialdom (6544).
