Chapter 102: Tracing the Source

With awe and curiosity for the Tang Dynasty relics, the protagonists decided to trace their origins based on the clues on the relics. They knew that this would be a journey full of challenges and unknowns, but their inner desire drove them to move forward.

First, they carefully studied the patterns and text on the jade pendant to try to find out more about its provenance. After some effort, they found that the pattern on the jade pendant seemed to be related to a specific region in the Tang Dynasty, which was famous for its exquisite craftsmanship at the time.

The protagonists embarked on a journey to this region. Along the way, they interviewed many local residents and craftsmen, hoping to find some clues about the jade pendant. They visited local museums and historical sites, carefully examining each exhibit, looking for items similar to the jade pendant.

During this process, they met a senior historian. This historian had in-depth research on local history and culture. After hearing the protagonists' story, he became very interested in the jade pendant. He took the initiative to join the protagonists' team and provided them with many valuable suggestions and guidance.

With the help of historians, the protagonists gradually learned that this area was once an important cultural center during the Tang Dynasty, and many exquisite handicrafts originated from here. They speculated that the jade pendant might have been made by a famous local craftsman whose work was highly respected at the time.

In order to find out more about the craftsman, the protagonists began to consult various historical documents and archives. They spent countless days and nights in ancient libraries and archives, flipping through yellowed pages, looking for clues.

Finally, they found a record about this craftsman in an ancient document. The document mentioned that this craftsman had made many precious items for the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. His skills were superb and his works were unique.

Following clues from the literature, the protagonists found the place where the craftsman once lived. However, it had become a ruin, with only a few broken walls remaining. They searched carefully among the ruins, hoping to find some clues related to the jade pendant.

After some effort, they discovered a hidden basement in the ruins. The basement was filled with various tools and materials, which was obviously the craftsman's workshop. In the corner of the workshop, they found a diary of the craftsman.

The diary details the craftsman's creative process and his interactions with the imperial family. The protagonists, overwhelmed with joy, meticulously pored over every word. They learned that the jade pendant was crafted to commemorate an important figure closely connected to an episode in Tang Dynasty history.

In order to uncover the truth of this history, the protagonists continued to follow the clues. They visited many places, communicated with various people, and gradually pieced together a complete story.

The jade pendant commemorates a loyal official of the Tang Dynasty who sacrificed his life to protect his country and people during a political struggle. To pay tribute to him, the craftsman crafted the pendant and hid it, hoping it would one day be discovered by future generations, ensuring this piece of history would not be forgotten.

The protagonists were deeply moved by the story of this loyal minister and decided to pass on this history so that more people would understand and remember it. They donated the jade pendant and related artifacts to the museum and held a special exhibition to show the public their discovery.

The exhibition attracted widespread attention and sparked a strong interest in this period of Tang Dynasty history. The protagonists became high-profile figures and their stories were widely reported by the media.

However, the protagonists did not become complacent because they knew that historical research is an endless process and there are still many unknown areas waiting for them to explore.

In the days that followed, the protagonists continued to devote themselves to historical research and cultural heritage. They hoped that through their efforts, more people would understand the charm of history and cherish and pass on the cultural heritage of mankind.

The Tang Dynasty relic became an important symbol in their lives, not only bearing witness to the vicissitudes of history but also inspiring them to pursue knowledge and truth.
