The sky suddenly appeared, and a live broadcast spanning eternity slowly opened for the ancestors in the torrent of history. Following the course of time, from the beginning of the civilization of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, to the glimmer of fire in Xihoudu, to the beginning of the rituals and music of the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, to the competition for supremacy in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, then the majesty of the Qin and Han Dynasties, the character of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the foundation of the Sui Dynasty, and the prosperity of the Tang and Song Dynasties, the vastness of the Yuan Dynasty, the magnificence of the Ming Dynasty, the vicissitudes of the Qing Dynasty, until the end of the dynasty, every scene is shocking.
When our ancestors saw the Great Wall winding for thousands of miles, the Dujiangyan Irrigation was covered with swamps for thousands of years, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal connecting the north and south, and the tombs of emperors hiding all the spring and autumn, seeing the legends of princes and generals come to an end, and the loyalty of virtuous ministers and celebrities leaving their names, and seeing the beauty of China far beyond the past, they might be amazed, moved, or proud.
A dialogue between ancient and modern times, a look back at civilization, what the camera can see are the splendid relics and great rivers and mountains of China for thousands of years, taking the ancestors to a civilized appointment that spans time and space.
