Features: After the book was published, due to the careless printing of various editions, there were increasingly more errors and omissions in the text. The supplementary content overshadowed the main material, and the versions varied in content. Therefore, in 1930, Guo Taidi, a native of Chaoyang, Guangdong, conducted a thorough proofreading and correction of the book. He also invited the renowned scholar and Ming-Qing history expert, Meng Sen, to write a preface. In 1931, the book was reprinted in a fine edition and included in the Shuangbai Lu Dai Congshu series he compiled, becoming an excellent version. The book's characteristics lie in its rejection of Buddhist and Taoist metaphysics, avoidance of discussions on landscapes and seclusion, and abstention from overly sentimental language.
