Drunk and lying on the royal road, I have a dream for a thousand years. Wang Xiaoguang, a modern designer with little talent, accidentally traveled to the Tang Dynasty after hitting a wall in reality, and his life was hanging by a thread when he collided with a holy master. At the critical moment of life and death, he shocked the court with his exquisite mortise and tenon skills, and jumped from being a madman to be executed to being a prisoner.
At the foot of Lishan Mountain, he presided over the construction of a hot spring resort, integrating modern design concepts into the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and building a poetic residence among the mountains and rivers. However, the palace is deep and undercurrent is surging, and the road to innovation is being pressed step by step by conservative officials. From the "three combined soil" formula to the cantilevered pavilion, every breakthrough is accompanied by open and covert arrows.
When he woke up from the dream, he returned to modern times with a thousand-year-old skill treasure. Those traditional wisdoms that were once dismissed as "junk" eventually became his roots in the contemporary design world. From being unknown to winning the highest honor, he takes the ancient as his teacher and transforms the ancient into the new, allowing the sleeping oriental aesthetics to wake up and breathe in the modern space.
This is a story about the inheritance of craftsmanship, cultural roots and self-realization. What transcends time and space is not only the craftsmanship, but also the eternal question of "what is beauty and how to stand".
