Nian Beast Chronicles: Looking Back to the Origin

"Nian Beast Chronicles: Looking Back to the Origin" When cultural scholars discovered that the "Nian beast" we expelled every year was not an ancient beast, but a defeatable embodiment of the cold fact that "time will inevitably bring forgetfulness and death" given by Chinese civilization, a "neuroarchaeology" on the Spring Festival turned into a thrilling puzzle of the civilized mind. This journey is a deep war between "modern rationality's pursuit of empirical disenchantment" and "the human soul's thirst for narrative reenchantment on ultimate issues." Carrying the trauma of his father's death in December and the "panic" of cultural alienation, Chen Ji started a lonely compilation. He used the probe of light-gap thought to try to compile the millennium Spring Festival customs into a set of "sensory weapon systems" and "civilization recursive refreshing rituals" to combat the entropy increase of time. The price is that he must face Zhao Guizang's questioning from the abyss: Does your compilation just make the wound clear and painful in the colder air? In the end, the response he received came from a wider dimension - his compilation result was confirmed by the unknown existence as a "wishing belt" tied to the "Tree of Existence" and coexisting with 374,000 other human desires. This journey sublimates the personal pain of bereavement into a deep resonance with all souls who feel "flustered" in time, and provides a cold and hot fire of "understanding" for those modern souls who feel lost in the gap between tradition and modernity.
