Introduction to the work "Thousands of Years"
The ancient scroll compiler Lu Yanzhou died suddenly and traveled through the Song Dynasty to become a scholar from a poor family in Bianjing.
He is penniless and can only remember thousands of poems. In order to make a living, he inscribed "Quiet Night Thoughts" on the wall of Xiangguo Temple in exchange for porridge. However, he was involved in the murder case of the Liushang Poetry Society and was framed by Zhou Shi'an, a son of a powerful man.
In desperate situation, he chanted "Huanxisha" to prove himself, which was appreciated by eminent monks. The talented girl Lin Shuying took the risk to testify.
He opened a bookshop called "Dingyun Pavilion" and printed "Die Lian Hua" to make a living. However, he was suppressed by the Zhou family for piracy. It was also discovered that the engraver Master Chen died unexpectedly and the movable type printing drawings were stolen.
At the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, Lu Yanzhou won the first prize by presenting "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" and was given the title "Mr. Wenyuan", but it aroused murderous intent.
Beside the dry well, the six-fingered gatekeeper appears and reveals a shocking secret: the traveler "Fang Wentian" left behind three iron plaques a hundred years ago, which can reveal the secrets of civilization. Lu Yanzhou's time travel was actually arranged by Fang Wentian.
In order to protect the cultural heritage, Lu Yanzhou took over the "Cultural Heritage Guardian Association" and took Lin Shuying south to Hangzhou.
On the way, he was repeatedly hunted and killed, only to learn that the Zhou family had colluded with the Liao Kingdom to seize the iron medal. Fang Wentian's last words, "You can pass on the context, but don't change the general trend," became his only guidance.
There are powerful enemies in front of us, and there is a torrent of history behind us.
Lu Yanzhou used poetry as his sword and movable type as his shield. In the whirlpool of business, rivers and lakes, and courts, he guarded the fire of civilization.
This is a civilizational relay that spans thousands of years, a legend about a poor scholar who shook the world with his literary background.
One-sentence summary: An ancient book restorer disguised himself as a scholar from a poor family in the Song Dynasty and discovered that there was a time-travelling predecessor a hundred years ago. In order to fulfill his mission of inheriting civilization, he used poetry to clear the way and movable type as a shield.
