The content of this book is very profound. It uses history as a mirror to allow us to see the impact of the generalization of power on people in ancient times. The "Caw Regulations" mentioned in the book particularly impressed me. Ordinary people have to pay more than two dan of grain, while gentry and gentry households can live with less than 1 jin or less. This is really unfair. I like this way of showing historical truth through specific examples, which makes it easier for me to understand and think about.
