This is an epic and magnificent novel. Through the legendary life of Zhao Chang, the half-ruler of Sanchuan, it shows the historical changes of Western Hunan for more than two hundred years from the Qing Dynasty to the present day. The novel has a jumping structure and poetic language. It takes the big narrative of the upper class in Western Hunan as its warp and the small narrative of the various life styles in Xiangxi as its weft. It describes the unique myths and legends, folk tales, folk customs and customs of the Xiangxi nation. History and legend, reality and fantasy are combined, the warp and weft are intertwined, and the colors are colorful. It creates a paradise-like home, which embodies the author's simple political ideals, critical consciousness, social responsibility and feelings for his family and country.
