Abstract: “The Sight of a Dynasty’s Back” ist the representative work of Yu Qiuyu’s culture theme essays. It is an article not worthy of the fame it enjoys in the literary arena. Firstly, the argument of the article is false. Ignoring the historical facts, the article eulogizes the Qing Dynasty’s emperors as the best in China’s history, admires the Imperial Summer Villa as the blessed symbolic construction of Qing Dynasty which could even match the significance of the Great Wall, and declares the fall of Qing Dynasty was due to the loss of the enormous vitality demonstrated by the Imperial Summer Villa. Secondly, the writing lacks the basic academic ethics. To reverse the negative evaluation of Qing Dynasty, Yu Qiuyu fabricates stories, distorts slogans, and lodges false accusations against history teachers and forerunners of the Revolution of 1911. The suicide of Chinese ancient civilization studies Master Wang Guowei ist even depicted as a typical tragedy of an old die-hard of Qing Dynasty. Aware of the article’s absurdity, Yu Qiuyu tries hard to cover up his errors through switching concept in the argument, which exposes both dishonest attitude and unserious style of writing.
