Transmigrating Through China's History: I Witness Civilization!

I made history videos for three years, and nobody watched.

Then one day, during a livestream, the screen suddenly shattered.

[First destination: 700,000 years ago. Witness the first spark of civilization.]

I took a fitness trainer with me and drilled wood to make fire under the watchful eyes of saber-toothed tigers.

A line of comments drifted quietly across the screen: “Mo, that fire in your hands is the starting point of human civilization.”

Later, I went to many places.

By the Yangtze River 10,000 years ago, I taught a woman to compost and grow rice. She said, “The bugs ate all the taro.”

At Miaodigou 6,000 years ago, an artist painted petal patterns on a pottery basin. She said, “Repetition is a rule. Variation is a craft.”

At Liangzhu 5,000 years ago, a jade carver had spent his whole life carving beast-face patterns. He said, “I've carved them all my life, and the craft still changes.”

At Taosi 4,000 years ago, an oracle who watched the skies and made sacrifices knelt beside me and pointed to the ridge. “The sun is moving,” he said.

At Erlitou 3,800 years ago, an old bronze caster poured molten bronze into a clay mold, stepped back, and tapped the side of a jue goblet.

The clear ring of metal echoed through the workshop for a full two seconds.

“It lives,” he said.

The comments drifted slowly by:

“We're not watching a livestream. We're watching the first line of humanity's diary.”
