Synopsis

"The Collection of Clearing Wrongs" is the first systematic forensic medicine monograph in ancient China. It was written and published by Song Ci, a forensic scientist in the Southern Song Dynasty, in the seventh year of Chunyou. The book has a total of five volumes and 53 titles, about 70,000 words, covering autopsy, cause of death identification, on-site investigation, first aid methods, etc., Setting a precedent for empirical examination of forensic medicine. The book takes "clearing the wrongs" as its purpose and emphasizes that prosecutors must adopt a prudent attitude and comprehensively use medicine, logic and practical experience to avoid unjust, false and wrong cases. His observation and analysis of death phenomena such as body spots, suffocation, injury, and poisoning are of great scientific value, such as the identification of hanging and strangulation, the characteristics of drowning, and the distinction between suicide and homicide, etc., Which are still of reference significance today. This book not only collects the criminal and prison regulations of the Song Dynasty, but also integrates the essence of previous works such as "Nei Shu Lu" and "Zhe Jing Gu Jian", combined with Song Ci's more than 20 years of practical experience in criminal prisons, to form a rigorous inspection system. Since the Yuan and Ming dynasties, successive versions have appeared one after another, and its influence has spread far and wide to countries in East Asia. It has been hailed as "the standard of forensic identification" by later generations. As a landmark work in the history of world forensic medicine, "The Collection of Clearing Wrongs" demonstrates the high wisdom of ancient Chinese judicial civilization and provides precious historical documents for modern forensic research.

Traditional Chinese Medicine. Please buy some books on traditional Chinese medicine. It would be best if there are some real things in the books, and there should not be the kind of children's literature where the supporting characters reduce their intelligence and the protagonists pretend to be cool.
