Trina Mortise and Tenon

Wood and stone have memory, and mortise and tenon joints store body temperature. Lin Yanzhi, an ancient building restorer, has an indescribable talent: when he touches the components of ancient buildings, he can "see" the pictures and the thoughts of the craftsmen at the time of construction. But every time you use it, your own memory will be partially replaced by the memory of the ancients - this is the paradox of protection and inheritance. From the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City to the Yueyang Tower, from the Yingxian Wooden Tower to the Great Wall, the restoration of nine endangered ancient buildings is also a sacrificial journey in which Lin Yanzhi's memory gradually fades away. The "memory purification" conspiracy of the mysterious organization "Forget Sichuan Society" pushes this restoration to the ultimate showdown for the survival of civilization. When the memory of the last brick of the Great Wall is about to disappear, Lin Yanzhi faces the final choice: to completely become a container of thousands of years of memory, trading "selflessness" for "immortality". This is a civilization epic about memory, sacrifice and inheritance. It tells us: the real inheritance is not the transfer of knowledge, but the silent resonance of generations of craftsmen who build their lives into wood and stone, and then be gently read by another pair of hands at dusk. Wood and stone do not speak, but the mortise and tenon join together.
