During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, the governor Wang Shaolan was about to come to Taiwan for inspection. Hong Qiyun received the task and notified all cities to practice combat skills diligently along the planned route in advance. Through his action, we see the corruption of military discipline in the Qing Dynasty and the absurdity of relying on dreams to handle cases; we see the advanced firearms of foreigners and the different values of Han people... Two hundred years later, Hong Dongwei, a 16-year-old boy, dug out the roots of the story from the stories of his ancestors. Study scientific knowledge such as camphor extraction, gunpowder firearms manufacturing, and indigo dyeing principles; learn about the harm done to ecological conservation by the Han invaders in Taiwan, and the wisdom of our ancestors to coexist with nature. The plot of the story is closely linked with the past and the present. In addition to allowing readers to understand historical evolution, they can also understand the importance of learning new knowledge from traditional concepts.
