The work includes three texts with continuous pagination: (1) Dulü xinde, 3 j., by Liu Heng (q.v.), with pref. by Wu Jiabin (1836) (1a-19a). (2) Shuangjiu yaolu by Jiang Chaobo (q.v.), with author’s pref. (1866) (20a-49b). (3) Guanzhang bu fei qian gongde 官長不費錢功德 (50a-55a), Muyou 幕友 bu fei qian gongde (56a-57a), and Lixu 吏胥 bu fei qian gongde (58a-59b), a series of extremely short precepts in lines easy to remember (for a much fuller text of the first two see under Guanmu tongzhou lu); in the table of contents the three are put under the title, Gongmen bu fei qian gongde lu (q.v.) (by Li Jiantang 黎簡堂). In the general pref., Wang Zuyuan, a prefect in Sichuan during the 1870s, claims that he kept all these texts near at hand during judicial hearings: more complex works such as Xing’an huilan (q.v.) or [Da Qing] lüli huizuan (q.v.), also meant to be kept near at hand, are too cumbersome for quick reference. A note on the cover-leaf says that the calligraphy and engraving were done in the Chengdu prefectural office (成都府書刻).
