Features: Mystical culture is a mysterious and ever-changing treasure trove. Scholars glimpse flashes of wisdom from it; administrators summarize the art of governance; merchants gain abundant wealth; believers seek binding cords of superstition. Looking at the contemporary world, many people at home and abroad are busy with mystical culture, yielding fruitful results. Regrettably and shamefully, amidst the clamor, some unlearned and unscrupulous scoundrels have emerged. Unqualified, they compile various printed pamphlets, promoting superstition, confusing perceptions, poisoning the public, and enriching themselves. The 25 Histories can be said to be a history of statecraft, a history of statecraft intertwined with joy and sorrow, a history of statecraft entangled with grievances, a history of statecraft full of cunning and inscrutability, and a history of statecraft that is sublime and hard to articulate. We have roughly flipped through this vast chronicle and have come to appreciate the demeanor of a large number of statecraft practitioners, compiling thousands upon thousands of statecraft stories. We say without exaggeration that every captivating statecraft story represents a fraction of Chinese wisdom, can be counted as an exposure of traditional Chinese culture, and should be cherished as a valuable historical legacy.
