The work uses a deep mountain village as the narrative background, connects seventeen chapters, blends the aftertaste of mythology with the fireworks of the world, and hides the blood inheritance, folk customs and survival persistence of the mountain people in every delicate paragraph. The work fades away from the glitz and digs deep into the texture of the mountains, starting from the rebirth of the village nourished by myths. Following the incense in front of the shrine, the family traces the lineage. The vines wrapped in red cloth hide the unknown past. The mountain bones between the mortises and tenon joints of the wooden buildings are also engraved with the unspoken persistence and secrets of the people living in the mountains. Every mark hides the foreshadowing of the years.
The book contains not only the red memory and contextual circulation of Miao Si Cave, but also the secrets behind the old rules locked in fog at the roots of the mountain that have been sealed by time. There are also the thrilling mystery wrapped in the fangs flashing under the moonlight, the hidden metaphors of the customs in the pig blood rubbings, the growth and transformation in the years of work, and the warmth of fireworks in the fragrance of bamboo shadows and bamboo shoots. The "flying chicken" in Yanshan Bay, returning home on New Year's Eve, chatting at the end of the year, and the infiltration of village customs, every detail is engraved with the fireworks and vitality of the mountains. Each chapter not only carries the deep love for the hometown, the blood, and the inheritance, but also hides the secrets of the mountains waiting for readers to explore.
With simple and sincere words, the work closely connects the natural scenery and folk traditions of the mountains with the joys and sorrows of the mountain people, as well as the feelings of family and country. It not only writes the profound history and cultural roots of the mountains, but also tells the lingering dreams of a generation for their homeland. Every line is filled with the most sincere love and awe for the mountains, inheritance, and life.
