Content of this book: Wangcheng, a small town in southern Sichuan that is rich in traditional handmade paper, was once famous. The Yan family in the city became rich in paper industry as early as the Qing Dynasty and became a local tycoon. This novel is centered on the characters who walk in and out of the Yan family compound, showing the ups and downs of a small town, and outlining the historical changes and customs of southern Sichuan and Chengdu from before the Xinhai Revolution to the beginning of the 21st century. The novel is different from the narrative method of traditional historical novels. It uses multiple characters as perspectives, interspersed with the past and the present, with clear clues and flexible structure. The mythical plot adds to the fantasy literary artistry. What is particularly valuable is that the novel vividly demonstrates the handmade papermaking skills of southern Sichuan, allowing the traditional culture impacted by modern industrial civilization to be understood and remembered.
