Features: The purpose of "Exploring Science" is "to advocate the spirit of science; promote scientific thinking; advocate scientific methods; and disseminate scientific knowledge." What is science? Different people may have different interpretations. Here, we emphasize that science is not limited to superconductivity, nanotechnology, genetics, and space exploration. From the smallest aspects of daily life, such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation, to the vastness of outer space, the depths of the Earth, billions of years ago, and billions of years in the future, science is everywhere. It is omnipresent in our lives, constantly influencing our daily experiences and shaping our way of thinking. Exploring China's lost civilizations and uncovering historical mysteries. This book is part of the "Exploring Science" popular science series. The secrets of Listening Lake, the ghost of the startled horse trough, the mystery of the wordless celestial book, and the revelation of the thousand-year bird path—too many questions, too much curiosity. Humanity needs more exploration, and humanity needs to solve more mysteries. Open this book and let us embark on a journey of exploring unsolved mysteries. Compared to other news and entertainment programs, science programs face a much greater challenge in attracting viewers. They must not only explain the surface phenomena of scientific facts but also provide rigorous scientific evidence and logical reasoning. Transforming profound scientific facts filled with principles and logical relationships into lively, accessible, and audience-friendly television programs is indeed not an easy task. Complicated storylines, suspenseful narratives, and compelling character fates all become key factors in boosting ratings. For science programs, simply telling stories is not enough. The scientific principles behind the stories and the scientific analysis of unsolved mysteries are the essential features that distinguish them from other programs. "Exploring Science" is positioned as a program that presents deductive stories in daily life and scientifically analyzes hot topics and mysteries. How to present scientific principles in a way that attracts viewers is a challenge faced by the creators. The flexible use of props in popular science programs is an indispensable tool in solving this challenge. This book selects engaging and relatable content from CCTV's "Exploring Science" program. It includes works such as "Tracing the Eight Trigrams Formation," "Seeking Jade on Kunlun," and "The Hanging Coffins—A Vanished Tribe."
