This time, dedicated to readers, is a collection of fragments of Chinese historical and cultural heritage from the perspective of public cases. The term "historical and cultural cases" in the title refers to real stories that have occurred in Chinese history or society, while "cases" refers to recognized abnormal events or cases that have had a significant impact on society.
