    In 2077 AD, the moment Lin Tianyi, a cultural relic restorer, touched the murals in the Dunhuang caves, he glimpsed a shocking secret history - the ultimate sacred objects of all religions actually point to a forgotten origin. Lin Tianyi embarks on a redemption journey across the polar regions and Wall Street. This is not only an adventure in search of holy objects, but also an ultimate interpretation of "Tao": all religions unite, and different paths lead to the same destination. The real miracle is in the "great road" that embraces all things and is endlessly alive. This article takes "Tao" as the thread and "Virtue" as the basis, deeply integrating science fiction settings with Eastern philosophy, aiming to convey to the world that the true progress of civilization is not conquest and control, but return - return to nature, return to the original heart, and return to the road of "continuous existence, not used diligently".

    "Mirror Flower Crime" In Nanzhou, the most elegant culture is being twisted into the most sophisticated criminal code. New police officer Chu Ran discovers that behind the unsolved case his father has been investigating for twenty years, there is a dark network using Tang poetry as a coding system - "Jinghua". The operating logic of this system is chilling: using the most elegant oblique rhythms to package the bloodiest criminal instructions; using the most meaningful poetic imagery to mark the most despicable crime scenes. She is not alone on this dangerous journey to find the truth. Special police captain Ning Xing brings the power of action and silent protection; Deputy Director Jiang Qi uses wisdom to clarify the fog for her, but he is trapped in the struggle between responsibility and emotion, but cannot suppress his growing love for Chu Ran, and finally chooses to turn his affection into the most thorough protection; Xu Ziqiu, who comes from an opposing family, shows her another mirror image of the "Jinghua" world with an incompatible purity. Their appearance makes this battle no longer just a confrontation between good and evil. When Ning Xing's love is direct and firm, when Jiang Qi's love is deep and forbearing, when Xu Ziqiu's existence itself constitutes a paradox of position, Chu Ran faces not only the answer to the crime, but also the complex spectrum of human nature in extreme situations. Only when the mirror is broken can you see the flowers. The person who chose to break the mirror turned into the moon in the water - no need to salvage, just remember that he once refracted light in the darkness. This is a story about crime and passwords, but also a story about protection, sacrifice and restrained love. When the system commits crimes in the name of poetry, and when sincerity grows between responsibility and emotion, how can we maintain our belief in justice and truth? "Mirror Flower Crime" looks for answers in the cracks of poetry and the dark side of the moonlight. The story unfolds slowly between Sanbao Town in southeastern Yunnan and Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. Yun Kun, a young man from southern Yunnan, harbored the dream of flying out of the mountains. With perseverance, he grew from a poor boy to an optical teaching researcher at the Military Engineering College. Ning Xiang, who lives in the east of Nanjing, originally had a stable life in the city, but under the impact of the tide of the times, she experienced a turning point in her life when her household registration was tampered with. Two originally parallel life trajectories unexpectedly intersect under the Purple Mountain. Their union is not only the mutual support of two individuals, but also the fusion of two lifestyles. Yun Kun carries the tenacity and stubbornness of the red soil plateau, while Ning Xiang carries the gentleness and resilience of the Jiangnan water town in her bones. In an era when supplies were scarce, they helped each other and used reed chickens, loofah vines and homemade kaleidoscopes to turn their poor days into poetry. The novel reflects the social changes in China from the Anti-Japanese War to the early stage of reform and opening up through the ups and downs of the fortunes of two families and two generations. The Three Pagodas witness the persistence and breakthrough of tradition, while the Purple Mountain stares at the impact and adaptation of modern times. In this historical background, each character is looking for his or her own position - Ning Fa's selfishness and self-preservation, Ning Gui's shrewd calculations, Ning Zhonghua's fatherly love, and Yu's tenacity in running the family. This is not only a story about family and marriage, but also the collective memory of a generation of Chinese people. Those memories about food stamps, the sadness about household registration, and the persistence of maintaining dignity in difficult times. What the story ultimately wants to answer is: When personal destiny meets the torrent of the times, how should we protect the persistence in our hearts? How to find eternity amidst change? "Three Pagodas and Purple Mountain" will give warm and powerful answers.
