Shui Jing Ruins

Before my grandfather died, he only left me one sentence: "There is something under the Wu Yutang." Three years later, as an underwater archaeologist, I discovered artificially polished bluestone slabs deep in the Yangtze River. There are carved symbols on the stone slab, which are exactly the same symbols that grandpa carved on the cobblestones. All clues point to the ancient inheritance: "Water Mirror Craftsman" that was massacred by the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers in the name of "forbidding obscene sacrifices". They did not believe in God and only left thirteen doors for people to stay underwater. And those ancient people wearing Nuo masks and incorruptible behind the door are waking up. During those days when grandpa disappears every autumn, who is guarding the bottom of the river for him? I am a fisherman's daughter who grew up by the Yangtze River. It was not until I pried open the seal at the bottom of the Yangtze River that she had to admit that there are still underwater heritages in this world that have not been included in history for hundreds of years. ——The ancestors hid the key in pebbles, broken jade and each other's watch, but never told future generations to be afraid. This book records an underwater archaeological survey of the entire Yangtze River basin that has not yet been made public. Underwater in the Yangtze River is a complete set of "water mirror systems" that have never been seen in official history, calibrating the direction of underwater civilization that is not recognized by modern science. This is an archive whose style is difficult to characterize. It belongs to archeology, folklore, and those old masters who have spent their whole lives fishing on the Yangtze River and never said a word until they died. It is not a myth, it is the ruins of Shuijing. Writing an introduction to "Shuijing Ruins" is not to write a "story summary", but to write an invitation letter - inviting readers to follow Jiang Lan down to the bottom of the twelve-meter-deep river, suspended directly above the bluestone slab, and press their hands on the stone door that has been sealed for more than four hundred years.
