Prologue.
We gain insight into one of the world's pillars, China, through the history depicted in the movie.
Through 10 movie stories and the history of China from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Xia, Yin, and Zhou Dynasties to the modern era, we delve into the struggle for hegemony between the Han Chinese and other ethnic groups for the Central Plain.
The Central Plain symbolizes the Chinese mainland, extending beyond the entire North China Plain, including the area of Henan Province in the Yellow River basin.
China distorts ancient history by claiming that Emperor Xuanyuan, who is regarded as the progenitor of the Han people, was the first to occupy the central plains.
Confucius, who mentioned the Baekdu Mountain tribe in the Book of Changes reveals that they were the powerful rulers of East Asia before Yao and Shun.
While the Han people expanded their influence and assimilated ethnic minorities, the rulers of the Central Plain throughout history were the Xianbei, Mongols, and Jurchens.
Even though the Han and Ming Dynasties once controlled the Central Plain, the scars of the Han people's subconscious cannot be hidden.
After experiencing rapid growth following the Qing Dynasty, the Han people enters the Dongbei(Northeast China) Project to replace the darkness of the subconscious with self-esteem.
China asserts itself as one of the world's pillars in a world dominated by the superpower, the United States.
