2、 At the same time, "The Ladder of Jurisprudence" is also the only complete document of ancient Roman jurists that has been passed down to later generations. For modern readers, it is a fundamental document that helps to expand their understanding of classical Roman law.
3、 From a genre perspective, 'The Tale of Genji' belongs to a type of 'papyrus literature' that emerged in Japan around the 10th century. There are two interpretations of the meaning of cursive literature: one refers to prose such as stories, diaries, and essays written in kana (Japanese alphabet) to distinguish them from literary works written in Chinese characters.
4、 Another theory refers to a popular reading material in Japanese medieval and modern literature, a type of illustrated novel, mostly short stories.
