By the time of Chongzhen, the Ming dynasty had gone from bad to worse. The intellectual all at once promoted loyalty and righteousness. Affected by this current of thought, LuRenLong's XingShiYan was the outstanding representative in the field of Nihuaben, fiction written in imitation of scripts for storytelling in the Song and Yuan dynasties.
