Features: Di Renjie was a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty in China. He was upright, loyal to his country, recommended the talented, and fought against evil to promote good. Therefore, he was appreciated and rewarded by Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, and enfeoffed as Duke of Liang. Di Renjie was clever, wise, and quick-witted. During his tenure, he resolved many difficult cases, and the people respectfully called him Di Gong. The stories of Di Renjie's case-solving not only spread widely in China but also inspired Dutch diplomat Robert van Gulik, who was proficient in Chinese history and culture, in the mid-20th century. He used Di Gong as the central character, drawing on modern detective techniques, and wrote a series of detective novels such as "Di Renjie's Strange Cases" in English, Chinese, and Japanese, which became widely popular around the world. By reading these clever and interesting deductive stories, we not only admire Di Gong's intelligence and integrity but also cultivate and improve our own reasoning and judgment skills, and learn the principle that one should abide by the law in behavior.
