The book offered many advices to determine the cause of death. For example, the book explains how to distinguish between drowning and strangulation. One of the most challenging problems is determining postmortem interval. Song Ci introduces entomology, which is still use today. Without Song Ci’s techniques, the process would be difficult due to setbacks. Temperature, humidity, and rainfall affect the rate of decomposition and postmortem interval. Song Ci’s knowledge of blowflies’ life cycle and behavior allow him to identify the perpetrator of a brutal murder. In today's world, inspector takes snapshot of insect on and inside the rotting corpse. The insect's stage of development helps estimate the time of death, whether the body has been moved, and whether the body originates from (Palmer, 2014). Entomology lead investigator to new discovery of bacteria in the corpse. Song Ci’s model of autopsy had a profound influence in China until the early Qing
