The collection explores the evolution of Chinese detective fiction, tracing its roots from ancient oracle bone divinations to the casebooks used by magistrates during the Song to Qing dynasties. It highlights the interplay between official legal texts and the oral storytelling tradition, particularly the chuanqi tales, which captivated audiences with their strange and mysterious narratives. This synthesis of legal and folkloric elements culminated in a rich genre that reflects the cultural and social dynamics of the time, offering insights into crime and human nature.
