In 2146, a virus attacks the cloud database of civilization, altering history on a massive scale. Historian Jiang Feng unexpectedly acquires the “Bronze Eye,” which lets him see history as it truly was. Transported to the Xia Dynasty four thousand years in the past, he must find a bronze artifact that seals away the original memories of Chinese civilization within seven days. He travels between landmarks of civilization, encounters those who resent history, and journeys with a young tomb guardian. If he fails, he will face an unfamiliar China where Li Bai never wrote poetry and the Grand Canal was never built. The Qinling Mountains have yet to awaken, but bronze is already ringing. Can one man’s eyes rekindle every light that has been forgotten?
"The Qinling Code" is a masterpiece that combines historical depth and fantasy imagination. The author uses the ingenious idea of "civilization backup" to make history no longer a cold text, but a warm and breathing memory. Qinling Dragon Vein, Erlitou Ruins, Sanxingdui Sacred Tree... These landmarks are endowed with spirituality in the book and become the fire of civilization that the tomb-keepers guard with their lives. Jiang Feng's journey to find his roots spans four thousand years and also passes through people's hearts. The most touching part of the story lies in the nameless tomb-keepers - "Exchanging a lifetime for a chance to be remembered." When the bronze eyes are extinguished, the memory will last forever as it is passed down from generation to generation. This is not only a historical adventure novel, but also an affectionate elegy to the roots of Chinese civilization.
