Literary Education Proves the Mind

Wenxin Zhengdao takes the Dawen Dynasty as the background and builds a magnificent world in which "the Dao is conveyed by writing and the saints are proved by words". Here, words contain the truth of heaven and earth, literary spirit can shake mountains and rivers, great Confucian scholars can slay evil spirits with their pens as swords, and classic chapters can be turned into barriers to protect the world. The protagonist Su Wenwen is the son of a scholarly family in Qingyang City. However, due to the death of his father from a "literary calamity", his family fell into decline and he was reduced to a woodchopping boy. When he was in dire straits, he unexpectedly discovered a fragment containing the secrets of literary arts from an old book of thousands of characters given by an old scholar. The words "Heaven and earth are righteous" could actually arouse the literary spirit and help him reveal his extraordinary literary talents in desperate situations. However, the secret of the fragment has attracted the covetous attention of various forces - the cunning people in the market, the mysterious organization hiding the conspiracy, and even the heretics who are eyeing the orthodoxy of literature and Taoism have all set their sights on this seemingly ordinary boy. In order to protect his seriously ill mother, to find out the truth about his father's "literary disaster", and to explore the ultimate secret about the inheritance of cultural heritage behind the fragments, Su Wen shouldered the heavy responsibility with his thin body, and trudged forward amidst the embarrassment of food, rice, oil and salt and the danger of competing for literary education.
