Anecdotes from the Song Dynasty
Ancient Romance宋朝异闻录
Retrograde Sisyphus
The moonlight over the Bianhe River spreads over the green tiles, the misty rain in Lin'an entangles embroidery needles, and the fireworks in the streets of the Song Dynasty hide countless strange legends that have not been recorded in official history. A fan with a waning moon and a broken bridge brings out the soul of a hundred years of lovesickness at night; a handkerchief embroidered with one heart is wrapped with the poison of the Miao border and the heart of redemption. The pen and ink of the fan seller hides the secret words of time, the stitches of the embroiderer are sewn with obsession and tenderness, and the shadows of spirits and ripples of secret techniques occasionally break into the daily necessities of ordinary people. There are no earth-shattering plots here, only the occasional intertwining of small people in the market and strange news - the expectation of life and death, the perseverance in desperate situations, and the warmth of the heart that is defeated by magic. Each story is like a light ink color, tinged with the quaint elegance of the Song Dynasty, but also hiding a bit of mystery and tenderness, telling the joys and sorrows and adventures in the fireworks of the world.
