CommentRem.: The author served two years as a magistrate of Baoying 寶應 (Jiangsu). The work was intended as advice to his fellow magistrates in the form of random musings on official morality. The first part consists of aphorisms and reflections by the author on good and bad modes of official conduct and includes maxims on subjects such as the proper use of sanctions, the need for integrity, the benefits of frugality, and so on. The second part consists of short descriptions of exemplary officials of the past. [n.p.] (compléter)
