The love story between the Duke of Mu and the Queen Mother of the West; the lost history of the Hebu family, who later became part of the great Japanese ethnic group, crossing the sea to Japan; the tragic and sorrowful journey of the Shanxi people to Kunlun Mountain, known as "Walking West"; countless legends and history, mystery and reality intertwined. Amidst awe and confusion, a comprehensive exploration team finally entered the profound embrace of the ancient Chinese nation, listening to her stories. The ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty and the old land of the Central Plains have long been famous for ancient tombs, among which the discovery of 4,000-year-old ancient jade has shaken the academic world. How did they travel from the distant "Yaochi" to the Central Plains in ancient times—this itself forms a suspenseful mystery. On their journey to trace the eastward transport of ancient jade, the exploration team also discovered many mysterious historical mysteries that remain inexplicable: the relationship between the Japanese ethnic group and the ancient jade-making family, the magical brocade of the remote western regions.
