Song Ci's "The Collection of Cleansing of Wrongs" is the world's first systematic and complete forensic treatise, more than 350 years earlier than the earliest forensic treatises in the West. However, ancient Chinese officials have never paid much attention to science and technology. Therefore, forensic medicine, which is highly dependent on related science and technology, developed slowly after the Song Dynasty and was gradually surpassed by the West in the midst of the scientific revolution. However, Song Ci and his "Resolution of Wrongs" still had a huge impact on later generations and forensic medicine in East Asia, and later spread to Europe and caused a sensation. In particular, some of the inspection and tracking methods recorded in the book, such as the red oil umbrella injury inspection method similar to modern ultraviolet injury inspection, and the fly identification method similar to modern forensic entomology, are even more amazing.
Song Ci only took up a higher-level official position in his later years, and died soon after. In terms of the importance of his official position, he was far inferior to the legendary prime minister Di Renjie, who had a life of ups and downs. Song Ci has no official biography in the history of the Song Dynasty. There are very few records in the history books at that time or in later generations. His reputation is far less than that of the legendary upright and selfless Bao Qingtian. What kind of unusual story does this person who seems to be insignificant and underappreciated in history, but who seems to have had a huge influence on and be full of power, have?
