"The Legend of Lin Daonan: A Bright Moon by the Mulan River" starts from Putian in the Ming Dynasty and weaves a civilization narrative spanning four hundred years. Nine-year-old Lin Daonan lived in a thatched hut with her widowed mother and younger sister. Guided by the fairy of Jiuli Lake in her mother's dream, she followed the rice bran along Mulan Creek to Qingpu Village. From then on, she chopped firewood in exchange for books and read by candlelight at night to start a legendary life. He fought with wits and evil, and refuted the "Tianhe Holy Water" scam of the Goryeo envoys with "people's water conquers heaven" in the court. He challenged the corruption of powerful ministers as a seventh-grade humble person. His upright character was gradually sublimated in the few records in official history and folk fantasy legends - from the time-space misplaced legend of "Emperor in Three Days" to being worshiped as a god of protection by the people. His story became the carrier of the philosophy of "symbiosis of light and darkness".
The story uses the 80-year-old Grandpa Chen of modern Xiewei Village as the narrative anchor. Through the ancient wooden barrel he protects, which "unifies the Tianhe and brings relief to all people", it connects the Ming Dynasty mirror kilns discovered by archeology, the scientific metaphor of quantum entanglement, and the sci-fi imagination of the tiger baby in the novel activating the network of people's hearts. When the fragments of official kilns from the Wanli period develop in the laboratory the patterns of yin and yang fish, and when the legendary "Star Gate at the Bottom of the Bucket" resonates with the hub of space and time in the universe, what is hidden in the folds of history is the Chinese civilization's eternal questioning of "the people's heart as the anchor, the symbiosis of light and darkness." The work combines legend, history, and science fiction. In the waves of Mulan Creek and the ripples of the starry sky, it composes a symphony about the resilience of civilization and the laws of the universe.
