It writes about the dampness in the folds of history: When a generation of empresses used rosin to seal the light of the previous dynasty, when the historical pen of the Qianqiu Dynasty quietly broke in a deserted place, all we heard in the secret room of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion was just a sigh...
