In his "First Memorial on the Northern Expedition," Zhuge Liang wrote: "I was originally a commoner, farming in Nanyang." Strategists throughout history have all humbly referred to themselves as commoners, embodying the spirit of "retiring to cultivate one's own virtue, and advancing to benefit the world," a spirit passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. By 2000: "Profession" "... Strategist, advisor, strategist?" "Are you kidding me? What era are we living in? Education, special skills!" "I... Was taught by my master. I have no formal education; my specialty is judging people..." "What?" "It's about observing people..." "Get lost! Scammers are trying to scam people all the way here!" "I'm not a fraud! I'm a scientist!" The real lives of ordinary people.

One day, Song Shuhang accidentally joined a chat group for hardcore fans of fantasy novels and chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). The group members all addressed each other as "fellow Daoists," and their nicknames were filled with various titles like "Lord of a Palace," "Master of a Cave," "True Person," and "Celestial Master." Even the group owner's lost pet dog was referred to as a "Great Demon Dog Who Ran Away from Home." They spent all their time discussing alchemy, exploring secret realms, and cultivation techniques. One day, after lurking for a long time, he suddenly discovered that... Every single member of the group was actually a cultivator, the kind who could move mountains and overturn seas and live for thousands of years! Ugh, my worldview has completely shattered overnight!

Imagine traveling back to the 40th year of the Wanli Emperor's reign, wanting both to indulge in pleasure and to directly save the nation. Yes, it's a story full of intrigue and contradictions. Late Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan, a decadent prosperity; the elegance of *Cai Gen Tan*, the vulgarity of *Jin Ping Mei*; an old monk engaging in commerce, a famous courtesan worshipping Buddha; Yuan Hongdao expressing his spirit through tea and flower arranging, Li Zhuowu brewing wine, meditating, and continuing the burning of books; Dong Qichang, a master of both calligraphy and painting, yet a local tyrant; Zhang Zongzi, a young playboy, dreaming of West Lake in his old age; the refined see elegance, the vulgar see vulgarity. To find truly remarkable figures, look to the present (accompanied by a certain classic gesture).

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".

I am Su Huai, a master's student in Chinese literature. I have traveled to a world where Han culture has been lost, and become the embodiment of wisdom and virtue, a remarkable man who possesses both cultural refinement and good looks. What the heck? You're saying the Han Chinese have been nomadic tribes of the grasslands since ancient times? The Dragon Boat Festival, Confucian culture is the origin of your Korean culture? Yet you don't know Confucius? Composing poems is a Japanese custom? Yet even Li Bai didn't know about it? Go is also a national treasure of North Korea? Yet you've never heard of Wu Qingyuan? You Japanese song lyrics are cultured? You've never even heard of James Wong? I painted Tang Bohu, photographed Jin Yong's works, recited Du Fu's poems, and did smallpox vaccinations—just trying to get by.
