Long Song of Han River

"The Long Song of the Han River" is a civilization epic spanning 200,000 years of time and space. The novel takes the Han River Basin in Ankang as the stage. It starts from the first chopping tool at the Guanmiao site in the Paleolithic Age. It traces along the Lan River the creation myth of Nuwa who made a human out of clay, and goes deep into the Ziyang Cave to tell the story of Gun's contribution to the common people. The tragic legend of stealing the soil was climbed to Mount Shun to listen to the "Song of the Southern Wind" composed by Emperor Shun during his southern tour. The unearthed bronze ritual vessel "Shimi Gui" from the Western Zhou Dynasty was also used as ironclad evidence to recreate the golden sword and iron horse of the Ba people to help the Zhou Dynasty suppress the rebellion. From the original pioneering of Yan and Ye to Nuwa's pottery spark; from Gun's heroic sacrifice to Shun's benevolent southern tour; from Shimi's battlefield conquest to the intergenerational dialogue between contemporary archaeologists Han Jiangsheng and his granddaughter Jiang Xue on the riverside - the novel weaves Paleolithic sites, ancient myths and archaeological evidence into an organic whole, showing the magnificent process of the intersection and forging of multi-dimensional cultures such as the Sanqin, Central Plains, Bashu and Jingchu in the Han River Corridor. The water of Hanshui not only nourishes the land of Ankang, but also becomes the inexhaustible spiritual source of Chinese civilization with its open character of "integrating north and south, connecting east and west".
