Features: The concept of "meta-rules" was proposed later than the "Blood Law" and delves deeper. This concept touches upon the relationship among life, survival resources, and resource allocation rules. The original text states: "All rules, at their core, follow one fundamental rule: power determines who gets to speak. This is a meta-rule, the rule that governs rules." Mentioned in such brief terms, it can only be considered a probe's jab. However, upon this jab, I felt my heart contract. My entire body twisted and deformed. The articles I had written before suddenly took on a different meaning, and the originally planned structure of this book also changed. This book proposes overviews such as blood and meta-rules, which represent the depth I am capable of exploring. The term "blood" refers to the rewards earned through bloodshed and struggle, embodying the exchange relationship between life and survival resources. From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, there were far more people who relied on this kind of livelihood than industrial workers. The value of blood depends on what is being fought over, which is the "Blood Law." This principle is simple yet can lead to many astonishing conclusions. If additional factors are introduced and the reasoning is extended layer by layer, it can explain other concepts in the book and become the fundamental logic that runs through the entire work. Therefore, the author chose "Blood Law" as the title of the book.
