Everything must be completed in stages. Before "Yang Er Yatou Conquers the Demon", I had the urge to complete a grand novel recording the history of my hometown. After I had no choice but to try "Yang", I realized that writing a novel involves too many things, and the energy and effort required are unimaginable to ordinary people. Novels that cater to the public taste, but they are far from the heavy sense of historical vicissitudes in my mind. Some things are for our generation to do, and some things are left to future generations. The heavy life and work have made me lose myself. This accidental return to my hometown finally captured a glimmer of inspiration, which gave me a breather from the shackles of life. Now, I feel that the time is ripe, and after much hesitation, I decided to write down these things.

I don't like to write stories that are smelly, long, and bloated, so I use Yang Eryatou as the lead and write about the culture of my hometown Donghechuan from all directions. First, the Renzong Temple is the central axis, and Acun is due north. I started writing about Deng Ai's tomb, and then went west to write about the ancient war beacon tower, then clockwise south to the Yangshao culture Wei Village matriarchal clan site, then the centuries-old sacred tea tree in Sujiapo in the southwest, and then the legend of the giant longan turtle in Longshouba, and then We will go to the Refuge Castle in the east where Duke Wen of Jin took refuge, and finally return to Caocang in the Han Dynasty in Xitou Village. Basically, in this circle, the essence of Donghechuan culture will be swept away and included. These things are basically the soul of Donghechuan culture. There are beliefs, loyal and brave generals, historical monuments, legends, historical stories, and ruins. These things are the essence of Donghechuan culture, including some bizarre and bizarre stories.
