Features: This book provides a detailed record of the "Silk and Silk Fabric Incident," which occurred during the Longqing and Wanli reigns of the Ming Dynasty. The incident involved the people of She County in Huizhou, who, unable to bear the heavy taxes imposed by the government, submitted petitions to voice their grievances. This led to widespread public unrest in the Wuyi region, nearly resulting in a violent uprising. The book includes a large collection of complaints, applications, exposes, memorial notices, official documents, statements, and government responses related to the case.
