A broken ruler from the late Tang Dynasty represents a thousand-year family history. In the second year of Qianfu, Yu Jingxing, a son of the Yu family in the south of the Yangtze River, failed in the imperial examination and said goodbye to Chang'an at Baqiao Ferry. Taking the copper ruler and "Essential Art of Qi Min" left by his father, he plunged into the bloody fire of the late Tang Dynasty. The prosperous age came to an end, and the troubled times began, and all the noble families were reduced to ashes. Only he saw through the duckweed of imperial power, established roots with grain, and forged souls with reading, built a granary for troubled times in the mountains of southern Anhui, and set the iron rules for the Yu family's inheritance that spans thousands of years. In the following thousand years, dynasties changed dozens of times, and the wars and wars never stopped, but the Yu family always stood firm. Instead of being a powerful minister for one dynasty, he was only a chess player for generations. From a corner of the south of the Yangtze River to thousands of miles around the world, from a poor family to an invisible plutocrat, he wrote a legend of an Oriental family that has lasted for thousands of years with two words: farming and reading.
