飛跎全傳

An episodic, comic narrative follows a newly wealthy, flamboyant social climber whose sudden fortune fuels lavish banquets, garden entertainments, and matchmaking, while attracting a motley retinue of sycophants, charlatans, and officious visitors. Chapters stage farcical set pieces—ridiculous officials, trickery over gifts, theatrical performances, and domestic absurdities—that expose social pretension, greed, and bureaucratic folly. The tone shifts between broad humor and pointed satire as scenes of feasting, gambling, and scheming accumulate to lampoon the era’s manners, ostentation, and the thin line between respectability and farce.
