28-Year-old Shen Shitou is an ordinary real estate agent in Hangzhou. The only special thing about him is probably that his name is quite ordinary, and he is the ninth generation descendant of "Shen's Seal Engraving". Of course, in his opinion, this title was worthless. After all, his father, who had been carving stones all his life, could not even afford a good stone in the end.
Until one rainy night, his tenant died mysteriously, and a note left behind tied him back to a mysterious seal that had been missing for hundreds of years-"The Seal of Heaven".
Jiang Tang, an ancient book restorer from the Xiling Seal Society, came to the door and told him that the "Tian Seal" was not only a national treasure, but also concealed a historical secret and a shocking treasure that spanned the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Anti-Japanese War period. At the same time, smiling tiger-like cultural relic dealers and Japanese collectors obsessed with Chinese seals also appeared one after another, eyeing the "Sky Seal".
Forced into the whirlpool, Shen Shitou could only rely on the "Seal Essence" mental method left by his father and his boy skills, and embarked on a journey to find the "Heaven Seal" with Jiang Tang. From the old house by the West Lake, to the closed mines in Qingtian, to the ancient wells in the barren mountains of Lishui, behind the seals and rolls of seals are the protection and choices of the three generations of the Shen family.
When all the secrets finally pointed to the last words left by his father before his death, Shen Shitou discovered that what he wanted to inherit was far more important than a seal.
Purpose: This article takes the national intangible cultural heritage "Gold and Stone Seal Engraving" as the core, and through the journey of pursuing a mysterious seal, it shows the profound wisdom of "hidden" and "transmitted" in traditional Chinese skills.
