Qi Xiaowei, a student of modern history, was attracted by a mysterious bronze mirror when he visited the "Cultural Relics Exhibition of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty". When he touched the bronze mirror, he was suddenly surrounded by a bright light. When he woke up, he found himself lying on the official road outside Chang'an City. A woodcutter named Wang Dachui discovered him and thought he was a scholar in trouble who had encountered bandits. Qi Xiaowei learned through Wang Dachui that it was the Kaiyuan Year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and decided to follow him into the city first. Qi Xiaowei was stunned by the prosperity of Chang'an City. He clumsily imitated the ancient salutes and made a lot of jokes. That night, he used a lighter to light a lamp in the inn, which frightened the waiter and was mistaken for a magician.
