What is the final outcome of Jin Fan, and what is his final description in The Scholars?

Jin Fan's final outcome: Jin Fan became an official, moved to a new house and was flattered by celebrities.

Jin Fan finally described this in The Scholars:

At that time, Jin Fan was given a cold shoulder at home because his situation was similar to that of Zhou Jin. His wife called him and his father-in-law scolded him in every way. When Jin Fan's family was worried about selling chickens for rice, there was a happy news that Jin Fan had been recovered from the collection. After learning the good news, he was ecstatic.

Fortunately, his father-in-law slapped him in the face before waking him up and curing his madness. In the blink of an eye, Jin Fan's luck changed. He not only has money, rice and a house, but also slaves and maids. Jin Fan's mother was breathless with joy and died.

Butcher Hu is also uncharacteristic, saying everywhere that he has long known that his son-in-law is satellites, and he will not be as respectful as ordinary people. Later, Jin Fan went to Beijing to visit Zhou Jin, was recommended by Zhou Jin, won the Jinshi, and was appointed as the Shandong Jinshi.

Although Jin Fan developed eight-part essay, he only knew four books and five classics. When people mentioned Su Shi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, they thought he was a scholar in the Ming Dynasty and made a big joke.

Writing background

Wu, the author of The Scholars, was born in a noble family. Great-grandfather and great-grandfather were two generations of "versatile officials" (Biography of Mr. Wenmu by Cheng Jinfang), and there were 6 scholars, including the second prize 1 person and Hua Tan 1 person. And his father, Wu, was a tribute during the Kangxi period. Wu Yu 1722 (Kangxi 61) was admitted as a scholar, and his father died in the same year.

Because he is not good at managing his livelihood, he lives like a prodigal son. 1729 (the seventh year of Yongzheng), when he took the imperial examination, he was dismissed as a "great writer" and was insulted. Later, he left his hometown angrily and made a living by selling articles and helping friends. 1736 (the first year of Qianlong), Wu participated in the pre-test of Bo Ci.

Zhao, the governor of Anhui Province, officially recommended him to take the Tingkao in Beijing, but he "insisted on studying with illness" (Gu Yunzhi's Wu Chuan) and never took the imperial examination again. In his later years, he was often hungry and cold. This personal experience made Wu deeply feel the advantages and disadvantages of the eight-part essay examination and the imperial examination.

On the background of the times, in the three generations of Kangxi, Yong Zhengdi and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, the capitalist relations of production sprouted in China, and the superficial prosperity of society could not conceal the decay of feudal society. While the rulers suppressed the armed uprising,

Daxing Literary Prison was adopted, stereotyped writing examination and open imperial examination were adopted, Neo-Confucianism was advocated to be the ruling ideology to promote scholars, Wu opposed stereotyped writing and imperial examination, and hated scholars 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.
