From the five laws to the sign of two people, it was initially finalized.
In addition, "the achievements of the formal establishment of the ancient seven dynasties should be attributed to the four outstanding figures" (Lu Kanru said). The representative works of four people are mostly seven words. The "Four Masters" also laid the foundation of the Five Laws. In their collection, more than half of the people have five laws, and more than a quarter have even fewer.
