In the second year of Jingkang, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the Southern Song Dynasty was established, and the situation was precarious. Chen Ji, a doctor of modern agriculture, traveled through Chengnan and Lin Yue, a descendant of the clan who fled to the south, and together with the like-minded Zhan Ziyan, shouldered the mission of revitalizing China.
