"Heavenly Book" is vividly adapted in the new era, giving the characters and stories unlimited new charm.
At the beginning of the creation of "Tianshu Qitan", in response to the call of Te Wei, then director of Shangmei Film Studio, "how to be interesting, how to play, play to the extreme", and start a bold and innovative artistic journey.

The restored film has a great leap in image quality and clarity, and the soundtrack integrates symphonic elements on the basis of the original film's characteristic folk music, bringing a more original collision between folk music and Western music. Whether it is creation or restoration, whether it is the past or the present, Chinese animators have always been keeping up with the footsteps of the times and leading the chinese animation national tide elements to continue to move forward.
