It attempts to salvage the fragments of daily life scattered in the vast history from basic historical materials, Tang Dynasty notes, Tang legends, Dunhuang posthumous documents and cultural relics. It uses the cultivation of scholars and supplemented by popular writing methods to unfold the restoration of life in the Tang Dynasty through topics such as foreign civilization, clothing, nobles and civilians, food, cities, marriage, imperial examinations, art and other topics.
