The Chishui River has flowed for thousands of years, giving birth to world-famous wine and nourishing the unknown secrets of wine. In 1988, Du Shaokang (30 years old), the young descendant of "Zui Xian Fang", a century-old wine shop by the Chishui River, a winemaker whose inheritance was interrupted due to special circumstances and returned to his hometown with urban scars, was accidentally involved in a millennium dispute surrounding the "Secret Treasure of the Wine Ancestor". A series of strange events followed: the "ghost brew" curse caused by the theft of ancient tombs from the Ming Dynasty deep in Wumeng Mountain, the mysterious fish movements in the Chishui River, the appearance of the "Yelang Wine Talisman" that has been guarded by the Miao Village in Guanling for thousands of years, and the lost Taoist "Bacchus Curse" reappeared in the world. … All forces, including overseas cultural relic plundering groups, secretive martial arts sects, and ambitious modern wine industry oligarchs, have all set their sights on the legendary ultimate wine inheritance that can "connect the world and enlighten the divine wine"—the "Destiny Wine Medal"…
This is a duel between man and destiny, a question about "what is real wine". Du Shaokang must navigate the intertwined whirlpool of real dilemmas (winery survival, ecological crisis), historical mysteries (the secrets of Zuixianfang and the court during the Wanli period, the legend of King Yelang and the Bacchus), and fantasy powers (wine aura, guardian spirits). In the vortex, we can retrieve the lost secret method of wine making, understand the ultimate wine spirit of "harmony between man and nature, Tao follows nature", defeat the conspiracy, protect the aura of Chishui River and the tranquility of the people, and pass on the true Chinese wine culture from generation to generation.

In one sentence, understand the "fantasy realism" in "Chishui Lingjiao·Legendary Wine Sect": In down-to-earth days, adventures smell like wine!
Don't let the words "fantasy realism" fool you! In fact, it is a wonderful mashup of this novel - combining the "truth embedded in the soil" and the "mystery floating in the aroma of wine" into a powerful drink!
Look at the background of reality: Chishui River in 1988, heavy rains made the river red; Zuixianfang was so broken that the wine flag drooped, and the wooden building was cracked like an old man's wrinkles; Du Shaokang returned to his hometown in a white-washed Chinese tunic suit, his father was gone, the winery was broken up, and even the old wine shop was about to "starve to death", full of rough energy that he couldn't live with.
Let's look at the fantastic additions: the theft of ancient tombs led to the curse of "ghost brewing", the thousand-year-old "Yelang Wine Talisman" hidden in Miao Village, even the wine brewing can bring out the lost "Bacchus Curse", various forces are rushing to find the "Destiny Wine Seal" that can "connect the world", it is so mysterious that it makes people clench their fists.
Together, these two people are the most vivid fantasy realism - one second, they are watching Du Shaokang wiping the rain and tears on his face, and the next second, he is following him into the secrets of Wumeng Mountain; just sighing at the dilapidation of the wine shop, he turns around and is fascinated by the bizarre "secret method of the wine road". It's so real that it hurts your heart, but it's also so fantastic that it's just like the wine from Chishui River, strong and smoky!
Chishui River Brewing Legend! Suspense and fantasy + intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship create the most intense fireworks in the world!
Su Nian's "Chishui Lingjiang" by Li is so awesome! Historical suspense + intangible cultural heritage winemaking + southwest style + fantasy and secrets, the layout is amazing! The real geography and wine-making details are perfectly integrated with Taoist legends and fantasy elements, creating a full sense of immersion, both dreamy and down-to-earth!
A shot in the arm for all ordinary people struggling in life! Ordinary days of daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil and salt can also create wonderful encounters filled with the aroma of wine. Fantasy is rooted in reality, it's awesome!
I also understand the soul of Chishui River - the brew has a mellow soy sauce flavor that can withstand the years and has depth! What is this novel about about wine? It is the millennium of craftsmanship that is heated in the wine lees, and it is the warmth of civilization intertwined between the river and the human world! Every time you open it, you can feel the thickness. Chishui River, winemakers, and this civilization are all the more precious because of understanding! 🔥
To be honest, the story makes people go deep into it. In that era, many good things left by our ancestors were lost in those years!
