Baitiao River

Introduction to the work: Lin Shen, a member of the Sanxingdui archaeological team, discovered a strange river pebble engraved with three notches of "heavy, light, heavy" in the unexplored soil layer (Chapter 1: Asking about water and stone). He hid the stone secretly against the rules and returned to Jinma Town, Guanxian County overnight. His grandfather squatted by the Baitiao River and said "the water is laughing" (Chapter 1: Asking about water·Stones). Lin Shen was puzzled and traced the origin along the river: the rope trough of the ancient city wall of Guanxian County was engraved with the obsession of a thousand pounds (Chapter 4: Asking about water·Guguan County wall); His grandfather's silent words dug into his heart like carvings on stone. He placed the stone in the half-submerged water at the mouth of the river (Volume 1, Chapter 8, Asking about Water·Qinggang Village). Amidst the roar of the water, I heard the weeping of bronze from three thousand years ago—— When Cancong, an ancient Shu craftsman, was melting and casting divine power sacrificial vessels, he heard the lamentation of bronze in the furnace (Chapter 17: Hiding Copper·Zongmu). He secretly hid the broken copper and cast it into a mute bronze bird for his young daughter (Chapter 19: Hiding Copper·Bronze Bird). In the ninth year of the flood's siege of the city, the divine power collapsed, and the high priest's blood spattered the stone steps (Chapter 17 Hidden Bronze·Zongmu). Cancong spent all his efforts to create a bronze sacred tree, but was abandoned by the new king as a "useless thing" (Chapter 21 Hidden Bronze Sacred Tree). He dragged the tree and sunk it into the river, smashed the mask, and burned the workshop (Chapter 22: Hiding Copper·Sinking in the River), and in the light of the fire foresaw that the copper veins would eventually return to the world of fireworks (Chapter 33: The Estuary of the River·Return to Earth).
