It is based on detailed historical research of the Song Dynasty and delicate description of the local customs and customs. Through a series of independent and connected stories of strange and strange units, it builds a narrative world that connects the world and the netherworld, blends historical facts and metaphysical thoughts, and weaves a magnificent Ukiyo-e of the Northern Song Dynasty.
