words from Liu Xiang in the Western Han Dynasty. Liu Xiang is a great scholar and a great editor. He came from a noble family, was the fourth grandson of Liu Jiao, the younger brother of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, and worked as an assistant bureaucrat close to the emperor. However, the main job of his son was not to be an official, but to be an editor and read books. He devoted all his energy to proofreading

in Tianluge (Royal Library) and served as the "editor-in-chief" in classics, biography, poetry and fu. He spent more than 2 years rearranging the

books accumulated in the palace in the past 1 years, collating the Warring States Policy, and compiling New Preface, Shuoyuan and Biography of the Heroic Woman.
