Abstract:The images of the Huizhou merchants in The Scholars were not all negative. An analysis of Wu Jingzi′s narrative strategy shows that they were complex and rich in meaning. Through the collision with celebrities and bureaucrats, the Huizhou Merchants exposed their tyrannical and lowly nature. In the local society, the Huizhou merchants are the staunch defenders of traditional culture and order, not the challengers. Through the narrative strategy of ″protagonist stealth″, the images of the Huizhou merchants were stereoscopically presented. The sympathetic and satirical tone from behind, and The You Bang evaluation, reveal Wu Jingzi′s attitude towards the Huizhou merchants.
