This "Guide to Officials" is very interesting! It classifies various officials and gives many examples, such as Zhu Yi, Zhang Shizhi, etc. I especially like the introduction about "honest officials", "xun officials" and "good officials". I feel that these officials are really good and have done a lot of practical things for the people. However, "cruel officials" and "corrupt officials" are not so good, and they make people a little angry. This book is like an "encyclopedia" of ancient officials and is worth reading.
