【Description】In the form of a memorabilia, this book briefly records the important events that occurred during the sixteen years of the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

The author is basically positive about Emperor Jing's merits. Although the record of this book is brief, it can still be seen that Emperor Jing inherited and developed Emperor Wen in terms of basic national policies. For example, the relaxed policy of "removing confinement", the frugal measures such as "the country of provinces and princes", and the good deeds of "those who leave the palace to return to their homes" in the edict and so on. In particular, Emperor Jing decisively put down the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, encouraged agricultural production, and stabilized the situation made a positive record. "Taishi Gong's Self-Introduction" said: "The princes are arrogant, the head of Wu is in chaos, the Beijing division is punished, the seven kingdoms are subdued, the world is in peace, and the peace is rich." He wrote "Filial Piety Books". This book basically embodies this idea.

Compared with the previous part, the "Filial Piety Text" contains the edict Deze in detail, while the "Filial Piety Chronicle" only writes the year and month. This detail shows that the weight of the two emperors in the author's mind is quite different. In fact, the main merit of the so-called "rule of Wenjing" should belong to Emperor Wen, and in terms of benevolence to the people and generosity to his subordinates, Emperor Jing is far inferior to Emperor Wen. Another reason for the frugality of this book is probably that the author is wary of Emperor Jing's son, Emperor Wu, who was in power at the time, for fear of losing his words and causing greater disasters.

Although there is no text in this book about Emperor Jing's mistakes, we can still see the author's criticism of Emperor Jing's employment from his article. For example, it is recorded in "The Family of Zhou Bo, Marquis of Jiang", that Emperor Jing was so willful that Zhou Yafu, a great hero who dared to speak out and pacify the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, was humiliated and died of hunger strike; In the "Biography of Yuan Anchao's Mistakes", it is recorded that he was quite far-sighted and made suggestions for the interests of the imperial court, but in the end he became a victim of Emperor Jing's retreat from the enemy. The author did not miss the book because of Emperor Jing's merits, and still gave a rather sharp criticism of his unkindness and injustice. The praise at the end of this chapter only talks about the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, ostensibly accusing Chao Cuo of being too hasty in seizing the fiefs of the princes, but in fact secretly assassinating Emperor Jing for his unclear trial and poor planning.
