The famous historian Zhu Shaohou's "sealing" work on the military merit system. This book was published by Shanghai People's Publishing House in 1980 and has been revised three times in 30 years. This is the fourth revision of the book. The author is over 90 years old. This is also his masterpiece on the military merit system. This addition is due to the author's careful and detailed review and discovery that there are indeed errors and inaccuracies in the wording and argumentation in "An Examination of the Military Merit System". For example, in this revision, the author has made corrections and details on the issue of when military merit titles were abolished, and whether Tonghou had a feudal state during the Qin Dynasty. The author proposes that the opinions and arguments put forward in the past research on military merit and nobility are based on this book; the publication of this book can be said to be the author's "sealing" of the research on military merit and nobility.
