During the chaotic period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, many heroic tales were nothing more than battles fought for power and profit. They may have only seen the power of life and death they held from their high positions, but they did not see how the nation's lifeblood was being exhausted. With the Sima clan seizing power, the War of the Eight Princes opened the door for the Hu people to move south, and the Central Plains ushered in a dark era.

Yun Yue fell into an abyss, only to find himself in another world. Faced with the Warring States period two thousand years ago, what should Yun Yue do? He was confused… King Huiwen was a wise ruler, while Lian Po was a petty and narrow-minded general. Crown Prince Dan was so cowardly, and Qin Shi Huang was a thoroughly cunning and ruthless man… The survival environment in the Warring States period was terrible, but Yun Yue still managed to do quite well. The novel *Han Xiong* depicted too much darkness, while *Cuo Qin* will depict much sunshine. Where there is light, there is shadow; similarly, where there is shadow, there must also be light.

Zhang Jianing, The web series "Tang Dynasty Tour," starring Wang Tianchen, premiered exclusively on iQiyi on October 29, 2018. 2… Dreaming of returning to Chang'an, the Xuanwu Gate was stained with blood, and the depths of the Taiji Palace were filled with endless sorrow. The resounding words "The people are the water, the ruler is the boat" still echoed across the land of Chang'an, but the iron hooves of foreign tribes once again trampled through the Jade Gate Pass. How can this hatred be satisfied? What kind of fury must Li Shimin, lying in his tomb, have uttered upon witnessing the suffering of his people? He pounded on the railings, only to see the land sinking into ruin! My heart was filled with frustration, and I wished I could cross the river of history, pluck stars from the sky, grasp the sun and moon, and turn the world upside down. So be it. I hear ghostly cries and the autumn rain pattering outside the window. I'll cut a worn-out pen and continue the story of the glorious Tang Dynasty, removing the dark parts. My Tang Dynasty has no sorrow, only the heroic spirit of war, emperors with the ambition to swallow the sun and moon, fierce generals who have fought countless battles, scholars in high hats and wide belts, gentle and virtuous empresses, loving fathers and filial sons, and a prosperous era that continues. This is my Tang Dynasty, my "Tang Brick".
