Qingyangdu: the City Defender Among Poems and Notes

When the Jiuyanqiao hotpot is boiling, the peppers are placed in the red oil to resemble a thousand-year river map. Su Jianxing, a graduate student in urban and rural planning, received a mysterious text message: "At three o'clock in the hour, the seventh tenon of Qingyang Palace." He touched a bronze bell engraved with ancient Shu totems, and instantly fell into a fantasyland - standing on the Hejiang Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty, he witnessed thousands of river lanterns carrying transparent ancients floating down the Jinjiang River. Lin Qi, the bellkeeper in a moon-white cheongsam, appeared and made a shocking prediction: "Seventy-two hours later, Chengdu will begin to forget itself. The blue bricks will forget the year, the sweet water will forget the recipe, and even the TV tower will forget the direction of the shadow." It turns out that each of the seven ancient temples in Chengdu hangs a "hour bell" to remember every breath of the city for 2,300 years. Now the bell is about to become mute and the city is about to sleep. The only way to survive is hidden in Xue Tao's poems, the bamboo chants in Du Fu's thatched cottage, and a pot of sweet water that can taste triple growth rings. This is not science fiction. This is a poetic rescue in a race against time to awaken the memory of the city. When the hibiscus in the city forgets the names of the blooming flowers on frost day, can they use poetry as the key to make Chengdu recognize itself again? "Qingyang Ferry: City Guards in Poems and Notes" - a love letter to Chengdu, exploring how an ancient city can avoid losing its memory in modernization.
