Features: Throughout history, when facing the ruins of ancient fortresses or the broken bricks and fragments of desolate cities and ancient tombs, people are inevitably moved by the scene, giving rise to a sense of historical loss. Even magnificent cities and splendid palaces have been transformed beyond recognition due to the vicissitudes of time and the erosion of ages. Moreover, many past events have been lost to the mists of time, becoming invisible and unknowable! Some of these involve a single moment or event, while others encompass a nation or ethnic group, and some even pertain to a lost world. However, this sense of historical loss was often the starting point for important research and writing in the past, when science was less developed. Yesterday is the source, tomorrow is the stream. If the once-lost civilizations cannot be systematically deciphered, they will remain fragmented and unsolved mysteries for modern civilization. Therefore, gathering the continuously discovered fragments of once-scattered civilizations into a flowing river holds significant reference value and profound meaning for popularizing and studying the splendid ancient culture, drawing on the achievements of outstanding global civilizations to build modern civilization, promoting harmony between modernization and nature, and advancing the study of ancient Chinese civilization.
