All dynasties have inherited the tradition of emphasizing "shame" and regard "clear shame" as the criterion for knowing people and judging the world, while "shameless" is a curse word that makes people feel ashamed. From governing a country to bringing peace to the world, to cultivating oneself and managing a family, "shame" has almost become a yardstick for measuring right and wrong, loyalty and treachery, and merit, and it is also a force that encourages people to stand up. This book is divided into two parts: the main part and the appendix.

When the author chooses characters, he not only considers the dynasty to which the selected characters belong, but also considers the balance between the number of shameless and shameless people; he not only intentionally selects well-known characters, but also discovers a number of new people and new things. These examples selected by the author provide us with a "human mirror" that we can learn from. The concept of "shame" reflected through them is still used as a reference to this day. Those who are shameful make people think of the wise, and those who are shameless are not only despised, but also serve as a good warning.
