At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang, Li Chunfeng, a young man from Qizhou, inherited the teachings of Daoism. He entered a temple to cultivate the Dao at the age of nine and became Yuan Tiangang's disciple, mastering astronomy, feng shui, divination, and mathematics. Using his talent to resolve crises in the countryside, he later joined the Prince of Qin's household to assist Li Shimin. He helped him ascend the throne through feng shui and political strategy, while also improving the Armillary Sphere and Ecliptic Instrument, compiling the Linde Calendar, and pioneering a method for classifying wind strength. Together with Yuan Tiangang, he wrote The Push Back Chart to forecast the fate of the nation, annotated The Ten Mathematical Classics to spread mathematical knowledge, and also helped compile the Newly Revised Materia Medica. Throughout his life, he moved between the court and the world of the arcane, using science to explain the mysterious and mystical arts to safeguard the nation and serve its people. The book weaves together political intrigue, academic breakthroughs, and esoteric secrets, portraying the legend of a master who crossed disciplines and unraveling the thousand-year-old mysteries of The Push Back Chart and imperial tomb feng shui.
