Features: The ideas in the book originate from classic texts and historical records; the interpretation of subtle meanings draws extensively from philosophical and literary works; legal maxims are abundant; Qiu Shi's annotations are not only highly regarded by Professor Wang Jieqing of Taiwan (author of the book "Chinese Law and Legal Thought," which won an award), but also valued by Shen Jiaben, a historical figure of the late Qing Dynasty's reform movement (author of "Examination of Criminal Law Throughout the Dynasties"). In a feudal society where sovereignty was supreme, laws were decreed by the ruler, and officials had to obey even if ordered to die, the author's courage to collect and promote the views of predecessors is truly commendable.
