Paperback. Condizione: New. Weixing, or "surname guessing," was a highly organized lottery practice in China wherein money was bet on the surnames of which candidates would pass the civil and military examinations.

Opening with a weixing-related examination scandal in 1885, En Li reconstructs the inner mechanisms of weixing and other lottery games in the southern province of Guangdong.
