"Chang'an Dao Lu" is not a simple historical novel, but a "modern fable" that uses the shell of the prosperous Tang Dynasty to explore eternal propositions - when we are trapped in the binary choice of "rolling in" or "lying flat" in the steel forest, we may be able to hear the true wisdom of "Tao" from the streets of Chang'an thousands of years ago, not in the temples, but in the folds of the fireworks in the world.
