"Boil three thousand years of loess into a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and let the salty taste of the first kiss and the dust of the moon sea echo in the same blood." The novel starts with a warm and poetic campus love, and goes through three time and spaces of fields, deep seas, and space, and finally writes "love" into the pottery of the universe - broken, floating, reassembled, and returned to the sea forever.
1. The theme of this novel
1. Persistence of memory: Soil and pottery fragments carry the dual memory of individuals and civilizations, and they can be reborn even if they are broken.
2. Love and time: True emotions can penetrate the dust of three thousand years and talk to the future and the stars.
3. Archeology is people's will: looking for antiquities is actually looking for people's hearts - "glue the broken pieces of civilization back together, and put the broken pieces of ourselves back together."
4. Cycle and return home: Stories are like pottery fragments, which will eventually return to their own "sea"; whether it is the sea of people, the sea of the moon, or the sea of Mars and dust, it is the home of love.
