Features: The richness or barrenness of thoughts and emotions is determined by personal experiences. The accumulation of experience relies on firsthand encounters, as well as on attentiveness and engagement with the interpretation of words, images, and other forms of storytelling. Perhaps it is an innate poetic romance, or a contemplation on the rootlessness of modernity, that in the depths of the soul, some people are captivated by distant places, by the secrets of buried historical civilizations. During long journeys, their flagging spirits receive blessings and gifts, and an inexplicable sense of happiness overflows from their hearts to their entire being. History is not merely recorded through words; a stone, a column, a broken statue, or a painting are all silent storytellers of history. Historical relics carry a strong sense of romance, revealing stories of love, hatred, emotions, wars, beliefs, wealth, and power through their weathered faces to the world. Fragments of broken tiles scattered among the grass, the ruins under the setting sun, the colossal statues lying fallen, the mottled murals in dim light—they not only evoke profound awe but also offer inspiration and encouragement, awakening the courage of modern people to create anew.
