This manuscript is the 16th volume out of 110 volumes. The manuscript, titled “Si Pu Co Ang,” contains a folk tale letter that tells the story of a letter being created to record all the bad deeds of humans. It was deliberately written on a large board and posted at the door so that everyone could read it. Then Si Ta E Jin read it and eventually responded to the letter, leading them to exchange messages with each other.
