Fan Jinzhong Residence is a satirical novel written by Wu, a novelist in Qing Dynasty, which is based on The Scholars. By describing Jin Fan's winning in the rural examination, the work depicts his image of being crazy about the imperial examination with exaggerated rhetoric. Taking Zhang Yue's extremely vivid body movements and verbal expressions before and after Jin Fan's senior high school entrance examination, as well as the example that his neighbors crowded behind him and the squire gave him a house after his senior high school entrance examination, this paper emphatically described a shameful social atmosphere that was keen on official career, good at official positions and rich as an enemy, and indifferent to the world, and made a bitter satire on the society at that time and its dark characteristics.
