Features: This book includes three volumes on "Agriculture" and three on "Rites," two on "Penal Law," and four on "Military Affairs." Most of them belong to what the author calls "official techniques," i.e., "the way of governing the people." The arrangement also breaks the convention of categorizing by genre. Works belonging to the same category, whether systematic theoretical treatises or miscellaneous writings, are compiled together. Emphasizing content over form, it facilitates readers in systematically understanding the author's ideas and intentions.
