Ten commandments about detective stories

In the 1920s and 1930s, westerners misunderstood China, especially those classical mystery novelists. They think that China is a mysterious country, and China people know all kinds of mysterious magic methods (such as closed qigong, feigning death, reviving medicine). Generally, comfortable reasoning writers come from the upper class (just look at the scenes and patterns of their cases, most of them are in big villas, and most of them are educated people), which is a "fault" for the lower class and the poor, especially for poor countries. In the same way, you can find that most of these writers reject or even discriminate against the Soviet Union and capitalism, which is determined by their environment.

Knox, who put forward the Ten Commandments, is a big role in the church, and this religious figure knows nothing about the East, which is full of "pagans". At that time, many high-class reasoning writers believed that China people had mysterious witchcraft. Agatha's novels, for example, mentioned that China Taoist pretended to be dead (Agatha was dubious about this), and Quinn, who claimed to be knowledgeable, expressed his impression of China in The Mystery of China Oranges, which now seems to be absolutely indigestible in jokes (for example, Quinn said that Europeans and Americans hold hands with each other when they meet, and China people "hold hands" when they meet, because of this.
