This documentary is about the archaeological Tomb of Zhu Ran, a famous general of Wu State during the Three Kingdoms period. The documentary can popularize science by using a narrative that starts with simple content that leads to a deep understanding by reconstructing the overall framework of a traditional documentary, coupled with unique editing and shot splicing techniques. With a small amount of familiar content interluded， the documentary vividly reproduces the cultural features of the Eastern Wu society at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in China. This plays a positive role in spreading the culture of Eastern Wu and cultivating public awareness of heritage conservation.

Unlike conventional documentaries that start with exaggerated rhetoric and close-ups for more attention, this documentary narrates the discovering, surveying, excavating, investigating, and corroborating of the ancient tombs through a smooth narration, which turns this science popularization into a eloquent discussion with a strong academic atmosphere and thus encourages the audience to explore more about the archaeology. The quoted historic part arranged to move the plot forward is replaced by highly real film and television dramas, academic interviews with experts, and archaeological site footage. This contributes a harmonious transition from a literary work with strong artistic features to a relatively obscure historical text to effectively lower the standard for comprehension. Meanwhile, it ensures that the audience can more intuitively understand the life of the tomb owner and feel the humanities and economy of the Jiangdong region at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to learn more science knowledge subconsciously. The artifact presentation at the end of the film with narration presents the artistic beauty of the artifacts while concisely explaining their strong historical value to enrich the audience's imagination of the history of the Eastern Wu and consolidate the results of this science popularization.

The documentary is broadcast exclusively on the Youku platform and has been among the top 10 documentaries in its category with a high number of views and shares since its launch. It popularizes more knowledge about the Three Kingdoms culture to local audiences while introducing Chinese culture to overseas audiences.

As the modern film and entertainment industry has been diversified, audiences nowadays are paying less and less attention to archaeological documentaries of the science genre. This is not only due to the boring stereotype of the archaeology-themed documentaries but also because the audiences often watch the popularization of this genre in a passive and boring manner. By reconstructing the overall framework, this documentary effectively lowers the threshold of understanding and uses a narrative that starts with simple content that leads to a deep understanding. This has transformed from the popular science mode to the interactive mode to eliminate the instinctive resistance of audiences. As the finishing touch of the documentary, the montage technique combines literary works and academic content for the audience to ponder and imagine and also ensures the advancement of the plot.  The connection between the literary work and the original historical text can bridge the 1800-years cultural gap and bring an immersive viewing experience for audiences. This can introduce the culture of Eastern Wu at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty directly. Thanks to the novel idea and this form of science popularization, this documentary not only renew the perception of archaeological documentaries in the audiences but also guide the way for other documentaries of the same category.

As the general director of this documentary, Liu Yongchang is in charge of the overall planning of the project. The on-site filming was carried out by Xu Anning, the executive director, Geng Tianyang, and Wei Minya and Xu Tangmao, the cinematographers. In the course of the project, the Ma'anshan Museum, the family museum of the Tomb of Zhu Ran during the Three Kingdoms, provides a large number of precious archaeological objects, documents, and video materials. All the filming results and materials were post-processed by Yang Liming and then became a film.

The design team did not rush into filming at the beginning of the project but explored the reasons for the ineffectiveness of conventional science popularization documentary. With the help of a large number of film reviews, the design team comes up with a creative framework and a concept of shot processing. Meanwhile, a large number of literary works, unofficial historical records, and historical texts are used to enrich and arrange the plots. This has effectively enriched the cultural deposit of the documentary, which, together with realistic close-up footage of precious cultural relics, ensures that the audience can feel the charm of traditional Chinese culture more deeply.

The project was launched in August 2020 and took a year and three months from pre-production to post-production.

Social development should not only rely on the blueprint of the future, but also the review of the history. This documentary aims to draw the attention of modern audiences to traditional culture by documenting the archaeological activities of the Tomb of Zhu Ran. Thanks to the creative ideas of the design team and the promotion of the broadcast platform, the documentary has been well-received for its unique content framework and cultural deposit.
