《福惠全书》

《福惠全书》 is [[HuangLiuhong|黄六鸿]]’s administrative work and one of the three source pillars in [[JonathanSpence|史景迁]]’s [[TheDeathOfWomanWang|《王氏之死》]]. In 148. 王氏之死:断井颓垣上的历史妆镜, it supplies county-level governing texture that [[TanchengCountyGazetteer|《郯城县志》]] and [[LiaozhaiZhiyi|《聊斋志异》]] cannot supply by themselves.

For the episode, the book is valuable because it captures practical administration: tax difficulty, suicide admonition, local disorder, case evidence, and the use of popular belief in investigation. It anchors Microhistory From Hostile Archives by showing how an official text can preserve traces of people who did not control the record, including [[WangShiTancheng|王氏]].
