The Ming Dynasty has a history of 277 years, leaving behind countless cases. The purpose of selecting some "strange cases" is not to explain the word "strange", but to discover the wisdom of the ancients. Because the word "strange" contains both the bizarreness of the case, the magic of solving the case, the fantasy of human relationships, and the unpredictable and ingenious nature of ghosts and gods. Strange talents, strange actions, strange skills, strange thoughts, strange strategies, strange feelings, strange ways, strange thoughts, strange stories, strange talks, strange dangers, strange encounters, and wonderful sights. When all kinds of "wonders" are put together, we can find that the word "qi" contains the wisdom of human good and evil.
Reader comments
The Ming Dynasty was still very mysterious, and the anecdotes and strange cases mentioned in the book also revolved around exploration and mystery. There is a story in the opening chapter that is very twists and turns. To put it simply, there was a widow in Luochuan County who had a newly married daughter-in-law, but her son, who had been ill for a long time, still died. The bride followed her away in love, and reported the matter to Zhu Yuanzhang. The emperor was overjoyed, so he created a chastity memorial arch to award him. As a result, a blood letter suddenly appeared on the chastity archway to plead guilty to the bride, and a mysterious case came to light. I won't spoil it here. Interested students can take a look. The truth behind it is really shocking. The short stories at the end are also very interesting, such as watermelon can complain about grievances, red embroidered shoes that kill people, etc., Which are very similar to ancient folk legends.

In my opinion, this is a very interesting historical exploration book. The author Bai Hua, with his superb writing style and simple and easy-to-understand style, tells readers some bizarre, absurd and rare cases in the Ming Dynasty, allowing people to appreciate the legal system and social scene of that era. The cases included in the book are very interesting, including the famous Yang Yongfu case, Yan Ziweng case, Tong Shanbao case, etc. These cases not only cover criminal law, civil law, commercial law, marriage and family law and other fields, but also reflect the political, economic and cultural background of the time. How to deal with these complex social problems has also become an important part of the development history of the Ming Dynasty's legal system.
I especially like to watch TV dramas about unjust cases and strange cases. I love to watch TV series such as "Redress of Injustice" and "The Judge of the Song Dynasty", as well as modern dramas such as "Forensic Pioneer". Ancient cases are completely different from modern cases, both in terms of type of case and investigation methods. Ancient cases have an original flavor, and because the methods of committing crimes are not so complex and diverse, they highlight the characters themselves. There are many strange cases in this book and the length is moderate. Although it is based on ancient stories and some of the words and sentences are not so straightforward, it does not affect the reading at all and makes people feel immersed.
The author is a professor at Nanjing University. He shows the social conditions of the Ming Dynasty by introducing some strange cases in the Ming Dynasty. From each case, we found that the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was extremely corrupt. The interests and voices of the people were not taken seriously. Instead, the officials deceived the people. Only the state officials set fires and the people were not allowed to light the lamps. At that time, the rule of law was far behind, and the rule of man was king. The human system means unconstrained power. When a person has too much power, he will do whatever he wants and act recklessly until he is killed by his own actions and digs his own grave. Therefore, power needs to be restrained.
The book itself is very good. I didn't expect it to be published. Fortunately, Tomato recommended it to me. I really like it because they are all real cases, and they are very close to us. They are from a very recent dynasty. I feel very familiar, and I can also understand a lot of ancient knowledge.
I think the character of Zhao is very touching, and her loyalty and determination to her husband are admirable. This reminds me of some stories in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", which are also full of fantasy and touching plots. However, getting married is a major event in life, so you have to think clearly about it! If you have Zhao's determination and wisdom, I believe you will be able to make the right decision. No matter what, be happy!
I have heard Professor Bai speak on CCTV 12 before, so I specially looked for this book to read. It is very good!

Every little story is narrated, and any unclear points are explained. Each story is true, focusing on the interpretation of Ming Dynasty laws, officials' love for the people, and crime-solving skills.

Wonderful. The story is true. The verdict is accurate. The sentence is appropriate. The comments point out the current ills and hit the nail on the head.
