A jade dragon, a journey of five thousand years. From the chest of the Red Mountain shaman to the archaeological site of the 21st century. It has traveled through every inch of the Prairie Silk Road and has seen countless ethnic groups and countless generations. It is engraved with twenty-seven whorls, each of which is the mark of a generation. Now, it's your turn.
Yuanbaoshan in Inner Mongolia is a stone tomb from the Hongshan Culture dating back 5,000 years.
Archaeologist Jia Ming discovered a C-shaped jade dragon here, which was polished and curled like the moon. Its abdomen is engraved with spiral whorls, drawing inward in circles, like a channel for the soul...
This is no ordinary jade. There are twenty-seven carvings on its abdomen - the marks of twenty-seven generations.
From this day on, Jia Ming embarked on a path of pursuit spanning five thousand years...
Jia Ming finally understood that the soul of the jade dragon was not in the jade. In the heart of every person who has carved a scroll. In the hearts of everyone who reads this story.
This is a novel about pursuit. A novel about inheritance. A novel about five thousand years of uninterrupted civilization.
Opening this book, you will walk with Jia Ming into the depths of the grassland, into stone tombs, mural tombs, wooden coffins, and soul doors, and into a mystery that spans five thousand years.
You will find that each of us is on this path.
