Abstract:Wang Yuewen's novel Traditional Chinese Painting enables people to see the different scenery of contemporary Chinese officialdom, and truly feel the mortal beings in and around Jingdu officialdom, with their souls being stirred by the invisible big hand of endless desire in the darkness of society. It is just the big network of society that wantonly binds the rogues and speculators, who chase fame and fortune. The name of the novel Traditional Chinese Painting has profound implication, highlighting the subtle and complex relationship in Jingdu officialdom between people and people, people and things, which is shuddering cold and appears like a ghost in Jingdu officialdom.
