"Writing Boats" Wen Zhou, a researcher at the museum, touched the thousand-year-old ancient artifacts with his fingertips. What awakened him was not the dusty history, but his own torn soul. A little cinnabar seal anchors the past and present, making it a lonely boat drifting in the long river of time. He is no longer the dispassionate scholar of modern society. When his consciousness was thrown into the stormy sea, he became a demoted official in the Northern Song Dynasty, fighting with subordinates with his knowledge of gold and stone in a ruined temple in a deserted village; when his fingertips touched the strange rubbings, he transformed into an ancient boy and listened to the dependent call of the "Youqiao" clan brother; when he stared at the totem crane shadow, he became a Taoist boy in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, listening to the fairy playing the piano on the top of the sea of ​​clouds, and receiving the prophecy of "Xuanhe's old hometown". Poetry, music, and chess are not elegant embellishments, but a bridge between him and Li Bai, working hard with Su Shi, and debating minds with Wang Yangming; Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are not empty dogma, but the blade and mirror he uses to settle down and peer into the way of heaven on the verge of life and death, between reality and reality. From fearful survival to active exploration, from the imitation of skills to the understanding of "Tao", Wenzhou walked on the fragments of civilization. The five thousand years of Chinese culture are no longer wordsless dead things, but the flesh and blood pouring into his soul. He must solve the mystery of "You Qiao" and find his lost life experience. He must also find his spiritual destination in the endless journey and carry this vast civilization into the future. This is a cultural journey that spans time and space, the struggle and transformation of a lonely soul in the grand history, and finally becomes a master who integrates ancient and modern times and has mastered various arts.
