Core setting 1. World view - Era: The fictional Jinsha Kingdom of ancient Shu (corresponding to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Sanxingdui-Jinsha Civilization) - Pattern: Theocratic power (priest group) and royal power (empress) are in binary opposition. The theocratic power controls ideas and craftsmen with the "sun bird" and "divine rule", while the royal power implements the "New Deal for Craftsmanship" in an attempt to regain power. - Core rules: - Craftsmen are divided into levels, with the criminal craftsman (such as the protagonist's initial identity) having the lowest status and being strictly controlled by the priests - Bronze, goldware, Sichuan embroidery, and lacquerware are the core skills of the country, and are in the hands of the priests and the royal family - "Divine judgement" is the highest judicial power of the priests, who use "miracles" to eliminate dissidents and control government 2. Technology flow·Intangible cultural heritage Tiangong system - Shu embroidery: color identification (72 kinds of red silk color difference), fiber tracking, physical evidence fixation, wound suturing - Silver filigree: microscopic magnifying glass, precision probe, surgical instruments, locks/organ cracking - Chengdu lacquerware: acoustic resonance (infrasound weapons, interception), moisture-proof sealing, physical evidence preservation - Sichuan Opera Face Changing: mechanical disguise, identity disguise, intelligence transmission - Bronze/gold items: murder weapon reproduction, trace identification, ritual code cracking 3.

Core Conflict - Surface level: Solving the "God's Blood Case" and uncovering the real culprit, Si Jin Jiujiu - Middle level: Royal power vs. Divine authority, using "God's evidence" to fight against "theocratic superstition" and establishing a new order of craftsmen - Deep level: The protagonist explores the mystery of the disappearance of the ancient Shu civilization, and uses ingenuity to rewrite the fate of civilization's destruction - Emotions: the restrained bond between the protagonist and the empress, "the emperor and his subjects cherish each other", the mission and loneliness inherited by the craftsmen 3.

Highlights & Cool Points 1. A strong fusion of intangible cultural heritage + detective work + power planning: Sichuan embroidery silk identification, silver wire microscopy, lacquerware acoustics and other intangible cultural heritage details are hard-core, and skills are used to solve crimes, fight wars, and govern the country, with strong differentiation 2. Technological flow counters superstition: Using modern empirical thinking + intangible cultural heritage micro-techniques to break the theocratic scam, it feels satisfying to "break superstition with science" 3. Contrast of characters: the counterattack of the criminal craftsman, the powerful empress, the confidant of the monarch and his ministers, There is tension in restraining the emotional line 4. The restoration of the ancient Shu civilization: Sanxingdui, Jinsha, bronze sacred trees, golden masks and other elements are deeply integrated, and the cultural heritage is rich 5. The rhythm is tight: there are major cases in the volumes, the chapters have reversals, and the investigation, conspiracy, war, and emotion advance alternately 6. The core of the craftsmanship: with the spirit of craftsmanship and the inheritance of skills as the core, there is passion, warmth, and feelings 6. References for creation: Archaeological results of the ancient Shu civilization The Jinsha site covers an area of over 5 square kilometers, and tons of ivory were unearthed - the largest number of ivory unearthed from a single site in the world. There are also thousands of jade, gold, bronze and other precious cultural relics, all of which were ritual remains of the highest ruling class in Shu at that time. The accumulation of ruins shows a clear civilization curve: layers of ivory pits were buried in the Shang Dynasty, huge amounts of jade and gold objects were buried in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and thousands of antlers and wild boar tusks were buried in the early Spring and Autumn Period. The inheritance relationship between Jinsha and Sanxingdui is a core issue in the archaeological community - the ancient Shu civilization experienced migration and evolution from Sanxingdui to Jinsha. The sun bird gold ornaments, with the image of 12 rotating sun rays and four sacred birds, represent the pinnacle of the gold art of the ancient Shu ancestors and the core spirit of sun worship. Key points of Chengdu's "Five Golden Flowers" intangible cultural heritage Chengdu's "Five Golden Flowers" intangible cultural heritage - Sichuan brocade, Sichuan embroidery, lacquerware, silver filigree, porcelain-bodied bamboo weaving, are the carriers of Tianfu culture. Silver filigree: A national intangible cultural heritage, it can be traced back to the Yin and Shang Dynasties and is famous for its "flat-filled filigree". The silver bars are drawn through more than a hundred processes into silver wires that are thinner than hair, with a diameter of only 0.2 Mm at the thinnest point. The main processes include dozens of smelting, rolling, wire drawing, filigree, engraving, polishing, calendering, and electroplating. Techniques such as wire filling, wire base, wire threading, and wire rolling are alternately used. Shu embroidery: Twelve categories and more than 130 kinds of stitches, emphasizing "neat stitches, bright threads, tight and soft, and perfect twisting". Color recognition is the core quality of Shu embroidery craftsmen. Chengdu lacquerware: It originated in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, with three carvings and one quarter, and eight methods of painting. The lacquerware fragments unearthed from the Jinsha site have survived for more than 3,000 years, and their patterns are still colorful. 7. Update plan 1-2 sessions per day
