Features: He is the creator of characters, yet also the seal-erector. He is the inheritor, yet also the one who bears the burden. On that night 5,000 years ago, rain fell like grains of rice, and ghosts wept in the night as Cang Jie created characters. Thus, we became complacent, and we squandered freely. Have we not heard? The sound of heaven and earth weeping, the lament of the text spirits as they were sealed? Even if transformed into the shape of a brush, when Da Cang was awakened by Cang Ye, the gears of 5,000 years of time began to turn once more.
This is a youthful literary read that offers a fresh interpretation of the ancient Chinese myth "Cang Jie Creates Characters." The author employs a time-traveling perspective and narrative structure, skillfully depicting the lives of the gods in the primordial era. Additionally, the process of Cang Jie creating characters is vividly portrayed. What is worth pondering is that the author also deeply highlights the importance of maintaining the purity of text and returning to its original meaning through an analysis of current popular fashion culture styles, such as anime and cosplay. With a solid foundation in traditional Chinese culture yet a unique approach, it is believed to attract the attention of young readers to the issue of cultural inheritance!
Five thousand years after Cang Jie created characters, a junior editor receives a family heirloom brush and discovers that a spirit named Da Cang resides within it. Subsequently, the authors she is responsible for are drawn into another world. In the process of urging them to submit their work (chasing after those authors), she unexpectedly finds that they are all text spirits sealed by Cang Jie 5,000 years ago. On that night when gods and ghosts wept, why did Cang Jie seal the text spirits? Just as she is puzzled and bewildered, she notices that Da Cang's gaze is fixed on her.
