Features: "Mr. Cai's book, from a literary perspective, can only be considered mediocre. But, it is a mine, towering like a mountain, with lush forests, flowing springs and waterfalls, containing coal, iron, gold, and jade. Naturally, there are also soil and inconspicuous sand and stones. Its extraordinary quality lies in its abundant treasures. As mentioned earlier, it was not born out of obedience to orders or reviews, but emerged in its time. During the collapse of the feudal system and the turmoil of the new era, he devoted his life to composing this epic, which can be heard as a dirge and also seen as a symbol of the birth of the new era. In terms of practical significance, its vitality is still growing. How many people can still read the traditional character of the twenty-four histories today? Not many, and even the simplified character version of the classical texts cannot. But our national history must inherit and continue. Reading Mr. Cai's book can guide you to the entrance, and it is the only one, with no alternatives. In this sense, it truly deserves great praise."
