Features: Guichi was originally a fiefdom granted to the Prince of Zhao Ming during the Xiao and Liang dynasties. It has been revered for centuries, with its power and prestige being so profound that it responds to all calamities, including floods, droughts, and epidemics. The temple has a Wenxuan Pavilion, grand and magnificent, yet it lacks the printing plates of this very book, as it is considered a missing classic. In the past, the locals once tried to raise funds to have it printed, but it failed. Now, the book that circulates in the world is all based on the Five Ministers' annotations. The Five Ministers' annotations often explain the meaning without citing the original sources. Only Li Shan's annotations are thorough and comprehensive, renowned for their precision and detail.
