초록

The critical realism spirit in “Er Pai” is originated from Ling Mengchu’s personal life experience and writing motivation. Ling Mengchu’s failure in “Keju” tests in his early years deepened his knowledge in the officialdom corruption, Keju system darkness, social demoralization in the later Ming Dynasty. As a literati born in an official family, Ling Mengchu hoped to exposure and criticize the social reality and to cure the diseases of the time. On this position, Ling Mengchu’s critical realism spirit in “Er Pai” was expressed in three ways: the profound exposure of the officialdom corruption, the intensify accuse of the Keju system darkness and embezzlement, and the ruthless lash of the social demoralization.
