Publishing Date: 1997-06-01
Features: The author of this book both enthusiastically praises the heroic qualities of upright officials and chivalrous figures who eliminate strongmen, act justly, and help the needy. However, he cannot escape the stance of being loyal to the imperial court and maintaining the old feudal ruling order. The book also contains a significant amount of superstitious belief in karma. This is determined by the limitations of the era.
