The original intention of writing this book is to let more people see the charm of wooden arcade bridges and mortise and tenon techniques - these intangible cultural heritage techniques passed down from our ancestors should not be hidden only in museums. So I moved them into the world of rules and weird stories, making the ink pipe a weapon to ward off evil spirits, the mortise and tenon joints to become the key to breaking the game, and the heroine using her old skills to fight against business reforms, protect ancient bridges, and find the truth. There is ingenuity hidden in every mortise and tenon joint and every ancient bridge rule in the book, which not only has the excitement of Chinese horror, but also the warmth of non-genetic inheritance. I hope that while you enjoy reading, you will also be moved by these "hiding muscles and bones" old craftsmanship, and work together to contribute to the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage ~
"The Legacy of Cuoqiao" combines the intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship of mortise and tenon with strange rules and stories in an ingenious way! The protagonist uses the ink-double and the Luban ruler as weapons to break the mystery, and repairs the bridge to protect the remains in the strange story of the covered bridge. The horror of the rules of the ancient bridge and the hard-core sense of the traditional craftsmanship collide to create a unique charm. The core of non-heritage inheritance gives the ghost stories warmth, and the short and concise plot rhythm makes it exciting to read and full of cultural charm.
I really like novels with intangible cultural heritage themes. This one has a tight pace. I recommend it.
