It is large in scale and has a complete system, involving philosophy, politics, economics, literature, aesthetics, astronomy, geography and even medicine. It covers almost all the contents of early social activities in China and can be called an encyclopedia-like masterpiece. It is not only an important summary of pre-Qin culture, but also the first-hand information for future generations to understand the social, political and economic life of the early Western Han Dynasty.
