Features: Ancient institutional systems are exceptionally complex, and just one aspect alone can fill a monograph of hundreds of thousands of words. For example, the official system is widely recognized by historians as highly complex. Scholar Sheng Xunchang wrote a 500,000-word monograph titled "The Official System of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's ten-year rule. Therefore, this book of only a dozen or so thousand words can only provide an extremely brief introduction to ancient institutional systems. The author hopes this book can spark a little interest in readers for institutional systems, inspire them slightly, and provide them with some benefits—nothing more.
