On the eaves of the bright hall in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, hangs the gilded wind chime from the founding of Wu Zhou Dynasty - in 690 AD, Wu Zetian changed the Tang Dynasty to Zhou Dynasty, the imperial power was dyed with vermilion, and the net of cruel officials and the undercurrent of the clan surged under the Luoyang palace wall at the same time.
