Features: Whenever a book is written, one must first understand its purpose; once the purpose is understood, what book cannot be read? The authors of books may borrow ancient figures as models or use past events to admonish and punish. Tracing back the reasons, it is all based on correcting declining customs and exposing vulgar practices. The most severe decline is none other than the lack of ancient virtues in people's hearts, and the worst vulgar practice is none other than the ease with which evil thoughts arise. Now, I happened to see a book titled "The Four Great Cases of Judge Di Qiang Gong" on my desk, which is strange and extraordinary, leaving one astonished and amazed. In the book, figures like Tao Gan and Ma Rong, who are originally outlaws, can make people willingly submit to their commands; while women like Zhou and Wang, who are originally beautiful ladies, leave behind both a bad name and a good reputation in the records. As for characters like Huai Yi and Ao Cao, who are not worth mentioning in human society, they are also included to show condemnation. Judge Di is truly a remarkable man! Those who read this book will know that it does not necessarily follow the official history but captures the essence of history more. Readers should also be good at understanding this!
