Extended information:
Although Li Ruzhen is a progressive thinker and writer, he still can't get rid of the shackles of the old consciousness completely. Because of the limitation of the times, or because of retaining the stale feudal consciousness, Li Ruzhen's country still has some backward ideas. When he put forward his opinions and criticisms, there were many places that were pedantic and not thorough, and even attempted to replace the reform with retro.
The author has a traditional thought. He thinks that "the lower class" has no knowledge, and he is not responsible for any bad atmosphere. Scholars, especially the "gentlemen" among scholars, should take the lead in correcting those unhealthy tendencies (this view was especially revealed in the twelfth conversation between Wu Zhihe and Wu Zhixiang of the Scholar State). Therefore, some of the phenomena reflected in the book were mostly in the middle-class society at that time.
The author preaches superstition to some extent. When he criticizes the slaughter of cattle, there are many correct views, but there are also superstitious causal thoughts. In particular, while describing a beautiful ideal country, he made the protagonist Tang Ao abandon reality and go to the road of escaping from the world, reflecting his ambivalence of joining the WTO and avoiding the world.
In order to show that many talented women are versatile, the talented women are asked to talk about classics, history, phonology and literature one after another. The flood of knowledge and knowledge in novels has become the biggest drawback.
These knowledge and knowledge can only explain the knowledge and expertise of a talented woman, and reflect her views on social contradictions, and have nothing to do with the personality characteristics of the characters. These knowledge covered the plot of characters, drowned the characteristics of novels, and formed a grocery store selling all kinds of knowledge.
