Over five thousand years, how many mysteries remain unsolved? How many people are still undecided even after their deaths? How many stories leave us speechless? Each generation has its own history, and each generation needs to reinterpret the past. Yet, history has always been boundless, and civilizations have always been complex. Our lives are finite. How can we, with limited lives, engage with infinite history? How can we recreate the past with the present? How can we let our vision wander through the river of history and let our thoughts bloom in the valleys of civilization? For ordinary people, this seems to be a challenge both great and small.
