Their encounter began with an academic duel**——
The "Shui Jing Zhu" map restored by Cheng Ye was deconstructed by Lu Xiao using the narrative structure of "The Nibelungenlied";
Dante's death mask copied by Lu Xiao was annotated beyond recognition by Cheng Ye using the "Oriental Fu Bixing" theory;
They competed for the right to restore the same Dunhuang fragment, but discovered at the auction that the cracks in the document contained the common code of Eastern and Western civilizations...
**From rivals to fellow travelers**, they used brushes and quills, isinglass and wet rubbing, cinnabar and malachite to write new chapters of civilization on the broken pages of ancient books.
**——When the shadow of the gilt sundial points to the seventh page, when Gothic and regular script interweave on the parchment, their story has just begun. **
**(Double academic masters·Collision of Eastern and Western civilizations·Strong showdown·Academic and romantic coexistence)**
Concept: When the cinnabar on the brush tip seeps into the grooves of the Gothic letters, and when the Venetian pine smoke ink blurs out the ripples of the Seine River on the rice paper, the young man proves on the broken pages of ancient books that true civilization is never afraid of being illuminated by another civilization, just like the collision of stars will give birth to a new universe.
