Features: When you change your perspective, history presents to you a colorful world. This time, what is offered to readers is a collection of glimpses into Chinese history and culture from the perspective of public cases. The term "historical and literary public cases" in the title refers to real stories that have occurred in Chinese history or society, while "public cases" refer to widely recognized abnormal events or cases that have had a significant impact on society. The time frame of this book spans from ancient legends to the end of the "Cultural Revolution."

Each event or case aims to have a complete storyline while also including different accounts from the time or later, as well as the editor's own judgment, focusing on the combination of narrative, academic, and engaging elements.
This book serves both as a reference and as readable material. To facilitate reader use, it adopts a combination of categorization and chronological arrangement. The book is broadly divided into three parts and ten categories, with each case numbered for readers to quickly locate and read the desired entries. It should be noted that this book is compiled based on the extensive research of predecessors, and some materials have been adapted from relevant bibliographies, literature, and periodicals. This ensures that the book reflects the latest research findings.
