Looking for Treasures in the Mountains and Wilderness

Deep in the mountains, a forgotten tea and salt ancient road has been winding for hundreds of years. Chen Shouzheng, a history college student who came out of a poor mountainous area, encountered obstacles in the city after graduation and lived in a village in the city delivering food to make a living. When he returned to his hometown to clean graves during the Qingming Festival, a sudden rainstorm caused him to slide down the hillside and dig out a small sauce-glazed jar with a intact seal in the rock crevice. There are 216 Chongning Tongbao in the altar, which are written by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty and are in thin gold body. They are in good condition. This was the first time he came into contact with the secrets buried in the land beneath his feet. It was also the first time he realized that after studying history for four years, perhaps he shouldn't just use it to deal with interviewers. Starting from a copper coin, he used his professional knowledge to interpret the mountains and landforms, and searched for the traces left by his predecessors on the abandoned tea and salt ancient road. Bronze hairpins, silver locks, inkstones, red sabers... Each inconspicuous small artifact reappeared from the soil, and gradually illuminated his originally gloomy life. This is not a story of "dig a national treasure and become rich overnight". This is the story of how a young man used knowledge, persistence and an upright heart to carve out his own path deep in the mountains.
