Dreaming Back to the Early Tang Dynasty

Li Dafang, a modern man, accidentally transmigrates to the early Tang dynasty and becomes the village head of an impoverished Mohist community. Faced with a village on the brink of collapse, where people are starving and freezing, he decisively abandons empty talk and combines the Mohist tradition of valuing practical craftsmanship with his own modern scientific knowledge. Starting with improvements to spinning wheels and water conservancy, he leads the villagers step by step out of poverty and toward prosperity.

As his reputation grows, he is forced to enter the turbulent court in Chang'an. Caught in the maelstrom of power, he navigates among Confucian orthodoxy, aristocratic clans, and the emperor's schemes. With his era-defying Mohist techniques and pragmatic ideals, he promotes education and medicine and encourages the contention of a hundred schools of thought, profoundly shaping the course of the Tang dynasty.

This is a distinctive work blending the weight of history with technological fantasy. It depicts the magnificent panorama of a flourishing age while also exploring the clash between ideals and reality. See how the protagonist, building on Mohist principles and wielding technology as a blade, forges a very different path to a powerful nation in the glorious Tang dynasty and creates an enduring Tang spirit.
