The first year of Jiayou. The war between the Song and Xia dynasties gradually ceased, and the Qingli era had become a thing of the past. Lu Beigu, a professor of Chinese language and literature, woke up by the Anle Creek. What comes into view is an era of flourishing culture and brilliant stars. That year, Su Shi, exclaiming "What a delightful breeze!", Traveled from Sichuan to the capital; Zeng Gong, having repeatedly failed the imperial examinations, was disheartened and dejected; and Zhang Heng, confident and waiting to make a name for himself. In that year, Zhang Zai's four lines of prose had not yet resonated throughout China, the Neo-Confucianism of the Cheng brothers was still in its infancy, and Ouyang Xiu's revival of classical prose was just beginning. Starting as a poor scholar in the county school, Lu Beigu had no choice but to pick up his pen and try to change his fate. Inadvertently, he added a rich and colorful touch to the "Millennium Dragon and Tiger List", which is unparalleled in history. A young man with unwavering courage and integrity, his writings rivaling those of kings and nobles. Drunk, I whipped my whip past the stars at Fanlou, my robes brimming with the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty and the elegance of the Song Dynasty!

The Tang Dynasty was in its golden age, a time of great prosperity, but a cataclysmic upheaval was imminent. In the fifth year of the Tianbao era, he opened his eyes and saw the glorious Tang Dynasty, a time of prosperity and grandeur, with famous generals as numerous as clouds and vast territory; capable ministers as plentiful as rain and granaries overflowing; brilliant poetry and dazzling culture; and beauties that could topple cities and a time of peace and prosperity. He also saw the court officials in a state of frenzy, arrogant and extravagant, constantly vying for power; the country in turmoil, with accumulated problems; and barbarian tribes rebelling, treating people like dirt. As the drums of war from Yuyang shook the earth, he was determined to ensure that this Tang dynasty would not lose its splendor.
