Features: Writing down the past, recording those old memories that might be forgotten over time. It's like a daughter-in-law who has lived in the family for many years, still enjoying occasionally digging out a new set of dowry clothes from the bottom of the box, even though she knows the style is no longer in fashion. But she's happy looking at them—it was after all the splendor of her youth. It's also like a junk collector who is always used to laying out everything he picks up on the ground. Others might find it a bit annoying, but he doesn't care. In the past, swallows at the Xuanwu Gate were ordinary folk.
