They only hate that they don't have enough, but when they have plenty, their eyes are closed in death. Everyone knows the immortals are good, but only their beloved wives are unforgettable. While the ruler is alive, they speak of love and affection every day; when the ruler dies, they go with others. Everyone knows the immortals are good, but only their children and grandchildren are unforgettable. Many parents throughout history have been devoted to their children, but who has ever seen filial children and grandchildren? In the flowing years and boundless mountains and rivers of this land, countless relics are scattered. Their clues are faintly discernible, yet they remain a mystery. From the Brahma chants of the snowy plains of the Western Regions to the dynastic bronzes of the Central Plains; from the broken walls and steles of the southern frontier to the colorful flying apsaras of the northern desert veins.
