Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty (Meng Hui Da Qing / 梦回大清)

Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty

-The traffic is heavy today. - Yes, we're going to be late. Hurry up.

What are you looking at?

Look at the dynamic of this line.

This is known as chasing the sun, isn't it?

Is this Mr. Wei's work?

His new work, Time Files.

Time... is money.

When you abandon time, time will abandon you

The boss means that you all should treat time well.

It´s a new project, a fusion of the Forbidden City and time concept.

Mr. Wei wants every designer to work hard on it.

Good morning, sister Hui.

Tomorrow is the last day. Everyone can go back to their jobs.

- Ok. Ok. Let's go. - Thank you.

Xiao Wei, although you are an intern, you still have to work hard, too.

Ok. I will work hard!

- Go on. - Let's go.

I'm leaving.

You're not rushing to draw...how come you're looking at these again?

Is the Forbidden City so interesting to you?

What architect doesn't like the Forbidden City?

When I was studying, I would often wander around here.

I always felt like I could feel

a closeness with ancient people here.

Think about it, every wall you touch, every tree

could have been touched by an emperor or empress.

Sometimes, when I see these red doors, I would think,

maybe, in my past life,

I was a palace maid behind these red doors.

Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor.

Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor.

Xiao Wei.

Your imagination is wild.

Honestly, I am excited to see your work.

- Good luck! - Good luck!

-Xiao Wei. -Hui Jie.

This the data that need to be sent to the palace tomorrow morning for the meeting. Please help.

It's already four.

I have already contacted the people from the data library.

You just need to get there by five before they get off work.

This is a very important reference book

I wouldn't trust anyone else with it, so I had to trouble you.

Okay?

Alright, I promise I'll get it there for you. I'm leaving now.

I'm off, goodbye.

I'm leaving, bye-bye.

Come, come. Let's go.

Can't let you in. We're closing.

I'm not here for a visit. I'm here to get something.

The Archives Department might already have gotten off work.

Okay!

Hello, I'm here to retrieve some information. This is my information sheet.

Come on. We made the appointment to meet at five or earlier.

Look what time it is now!

Come back tomorrow, I'm going to be off-duty soon.

-Please leave. -There's still six or seven minutes before five.

Why are you like this?

So many book?!

I can't find this many books in six or seven minutes.

Leave, please.

No problem. If you can't find it, I'll go find it if you let me.

You?

Okay, you only have five minutes though.

So what if it's five minutes. Thank you.

Three minutes.

There's still one minute.

Don't rush, I'm almost done.

Don't rush.

There's still forty seconds.

-Twenty seconds. -Coming!

Nineteen. Eighteen.

Mission complete.

Impossible.

You're quite good!

I used to come here a lot.

This place...besides you, is there someone else?

Someone else? There's just me.

There isn't anyone else.

Ok. You got lucky this time. Come earlier next time.

Ok. Thanks!

Weird. How come I'm back here?

I went the wrong way again? Impossible.

I've come to the Forbidden City so many times I can find my way around with my eyes closed.

The Longevity Mountain is on the north. The Jinshui River is on the south.

Yea!

My phone's out of battery too.

Hi. Is there anyone here?

You finally came. Come in.

Hi grandma. I wanted to ask

You came so late.

I've been waiting for you for a long time.

I'm sorry. I came to borrow some books. After I left, I got lost.

Now it's too dark. I can't tell where I'm going.

Do you know how to get out of here?

This place...

once you enter,

it's truly really hard to get out.

Too many people lose their way and are trapped.

No matter how much they wander, they can't find the exit

Then do you know how to get out?

Ok...then I'll try again.

Sorry for intruding.

Hold on.

Take this lantern to light the way.

You will find the road you are meant to take.

No thank you. The lantern is too expensive. I'm afraid of breaking it.

Take it. I'm gifting the lantern to you.

- There's no need - I've already said I'm gifting it to you.

You just take it.

Thank you. I'll bring it back to you tomorrow.

Bye.

Hallucination. It has to be a hallucination.

According to the experts, the Saturn Moon spectacle will be coming soon.

The magnetic field of Saturn and the moon will meet with each other

and will bring effects on the Earth.

The Saturn-Moon Spectacle caused a lot of attention.

caused a lot of attention.

Actually, this kind of phenomenon has appeared many times in throughout history.

In ancient books, it was recorded as the "Wildfire of July."

The ancients took this phenomenon as a symbol of hope.

Saturn, known as the Lord of the Rings,

has an orange glow

and dances next to the beautiful moon.

To the naked eye, the two seems to be close to the ecliptic in a 2D space.

This is called a Conjunction, like a couple whispering

and meeting in space romantically.

Even the news report sounds so romantic.

Saturn is one of the eight planets in the solar system.

And is also the most beautiful one out of planets.

Compared to the moon, Saturn has a large distance between us.

Moreover, the moon and Saturn are all moving in space.

So when we look at the night sky,

the speed of the moon's movements are much faster

compared to other planets.

Once in a while,

This is a blueprint.

It seems like it but also not like it.

Could it be on of Mr. Bei earlier sketches?

No way. It's definitely not that.

No matter. No need to keep thinking about it.

So, the right ascension, ecliptic longitude, and hour angle of the two are not the same.

This special spectacle

last appears on the 45th year of KangXi.

It has been nearly three hundred years since it's last appearance.

This time, we have the opportunity to see this beautiful sight again.

If the place you're living has good weather and clear skies,

then you can look towards the southeast at the right time

You can then see the moonlike a silver basin hanging in the sky.

After three hundred years, you can still see the same thing.

The universe is magical.

In this period, the distance between Jupiter and the moon

looks close, but in a 3 dimensional view,

they are far from each other.

It's about 15 hundred million km. Let's see the weather.

The second round of the rain is getting stronger.

It will be the heaviest from tonight to tomorrow.

This afternoon, the weather station

just put our the first "orange" warning for the storm.

Is this a hallucination?

Am I sick?

Ahh! Help!

Are you having hallucinations because you've been pulling all-nighters consecutively?

I hope it is.

Then you really saw a person?

I don't know.

I need to hurry back to edit my draft.

- Come with me - No! You know I am scared of everything.

If I see him at your house, I will die of fright.

I need to find someone to go back with me

and make sure if I'm going crazy.

Then I'll go with you tomorrow morning.

You shouldn't go tonight either.

No. I need to turn it in tomorrow.

It's still in my computer right now.

You know Mr. Bei is my idol.

If my draft is chosen by him,

then I can die without regrets.

If you can even die without regrets for your idol,

then what are you still afraid of?

You're right. It must be because I've been pulling too many all-nighters and this is causing me to have hallucinations.

If I die then I die.

Why're you going back?

Don't be stupid!

You callous person. You will let me go alone to face that shadow?

Do you not have a conscience?

Clothes.

That...remember to call me as soon as you get home.

Bye bye

Bye bye
