The Iron Rat, also known as the Raiha Rat, was one of the favorite themes of storytellers at the end of the Heian period. According to the Yankei version of "Heian Monogatari", Emperor Shirakawa made the daughter of Seki Shirofujiwara Shimi as his queen, and she was known as Nakamiya Kenko. , The two were extremely loving, so they hoped that Xianzi would give birth to a prince. The emperor heard that Mitsuiji Laihao Acharya's magic power was efficacious, so he ordered him to pray on his behalf, and he agreed (if everything goes well, all gifts will be easy). Later, Laihao Acharya prayed wholeheartedly and paid tribute to this wish. Prince Dunwen was born. The Emperor was overjoyed and asked Acharya what reward he wanted. Laihao Acharya replied: "I hope that the Emperor will order Mitsui Temple to build an ordination altar." 〕The emperor readily agreed, but he ignored that at that time Mitsui-ji Temple was located on the side of Mount Hiei, where Enryaku-ji Temple of the Tendai sect was located. Hearing that the emperor had authorized Mitsui-ji Temple to build an ordination altar to symbolize the status of the commanding Buddhist temple, he especially used his political connections to advise the emperor. In the end, the emperor felt that the Tendai sect could not be divided, so he withdrew the previous order. Laihao Acharya heard about this change and said angrily: "I worked hard and prayed hard to get the prince. Now that the emperor has betrayed me, I will take him to the devil's path." 〕After saying this, he would not eat a grain of rice, and would eventually go on a hunger strike and die. At that time, a white-haired monster monk appeared next to the emperor's pillow, standing in front of the bed holding a tin staff, which shocked the emperor. He asked the monks of Mount Hiei to pray for blessings and avoid disasters. Unfortunately, Prince Atsubun died before he was four years old. According to folklore, Acharya Laihao locked himself in a secret room without trimming his beard, hair, or nails. He burned incense and cursed without sleep for a hundred days. After he died, he turned into 84,000 giant rats with iron-like teeth and stone-like bodies. They went all the way to Mount Hiei and chewed up all the Buddha statues and scriptures. Because of its iron-like teeth, Toriyama Shiyan called it "Iron Rat" in "Hakugui Night Walk".

The novel does not have a bizarre and tortuous plot, but the characters are flesh and blood, each one vivid and vivid on the page.

Fromm's classic work, author of "The Art of Love" and "Escape from Freedom" and one of the founders of "Psychoanalytic Sociology", is How a Gentleman with Faith Says "No". Whether mankind has a future and whether civilization will end depends on whether we have the ability to doubt, criticize and disobey. --Erich Fromm In the collection "On Disobedience", Erich Fromm clearly explained what "obedience" and "disobedience" really mean: obedience to human nature and the goals of a humane society, and disobedience to various idols and political ideologies. His discussion is still relevant today: he opposes blindly following conventions and takes a critical stance on the commonplace "bad knowledge". Fromm's insights, combined with the psychology gained from social and political phenomena, led him to support the American Socialist Party for a period of time, join the peace movement, and call for disarmament steps. In these activities, he practiced his disobedience to the "common sense" of various people and official political discourse. What he obeyed was a sane way of thinking, which was in line with the ideas held by prophets and philosophers such as Albert Schweitzer and Bertrand Russell.
