Tang Dynasty: Chang'an I

Shen Yan, a staff member of the Modern Museum, accidentally traveled to the Tang Dynasty in the 24th year of Kaiyuan and became a young man from a poor family who defected to Chang'an. At this time in the Tang Dynasty, granaries were full, trade routes were thousands of miles long, and the gates of Chang'an were open to the world. Hu merchants and scholars sat and drank together, women rode horses to hit the ball, and children from poor families took advantage of the imperial examination to ask questions. Treasures, music, dance, and beliefs from all over the world converged here. Relying on modern knowledge and past life accumulation, Shen Yan started as an accountant at Hu Shangdi Store, traveled to Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou, Liangzhou and the Western Regions, met poets, famous generals, merchants and countless ordinary people, and also started a family and business in this strange land, finding his true belonging. However, he knew clearly: there were only nineteen years left before the Anshi Rebellion. He once wanted to change history, but gradually understood that the prosperous times were not the hymns written by emperors and generals, but the confidence of thousands of people in the future. When the prosperity comes to an end, and when Chang'an's singing and dancing are shattered by Yuyang's drums, he must spend his whole life to protect those people and things worth remembering. This is a story about a modern man spending his life in the Tang Dynasty. It is also a long scroll of the times from the prosperous age of Kaiyuan to the ups and downs of mountains and rivers.
