The Scholars is a satirical novel that describes the life activities of various Chinese Confucian scholars, prudently set mostly in the early 16th century during the Ming dynasty that preceded the Qing.

Wu's stories often turn on mundane incidents in the foolish scholars' lives, similar to episodes of the sitcom Seinfeld but set in 18th Century China.
