Zhang Cheng's writing is also wonderful. I feel like I have traveled back to ancient times and watched the lives of those ancient officials. Moreover, this book made me understand that ancient people were also so obsessed with and helpless about officialdom, just like we are about exams and work. I think this book not only allows us to understand history, but also allows us to think more about our current life.
The false festival ax is added with nine tins, and the commander-in-chief supervises all the Chinese and foreign military forces. He opens the palace, performs the same rituals as the three divisions, goes to the palace with swords and shoes, does not go to the court, and does not pay tribute. [Doge]
