A lonely mountain, a lonely mountain upside down, a lonely mountain down and out.

Lang Lang who can't walk out, the upside-down mountain that can't walk, the Pusu Lake that can't walk, and the lonely mountain that can't be found. Langlang Mountain is a metaphor of a small county, which is always confusing. Shujian Lake is a big city, as far as the eye can see. People in small counties want to go out, while people in big cities want to come back. One is the comfort that parents often accompany, and the other is the pain of doing their best.

Brief introduction to the story of China Qitan;

1, summer of the little monster. The wild boar demon was "influenced" and decided to rebel and go to Tangseng Mountain to save the monster. Knowing that four Tang Priests and apprentices would pass by in five days, the king arranged for his little demons to catch Tang Priests and cook his meat. In this process, a wild boar demon, who is usually bullied by a small leader, hopes to get ahead through hard work, but when he buys spices in the market, he hears all kinds of deeds of Tang priest's mentor and apprentice, and the wild boar's heart makes waves.

2. Goose Goose. Fantasy comes out of fantasy, and fantasy turns into life. What's wrong with people's life? A poor scholar in love wants to send three geese to his sweetheart's village beyond the mountain. On his way up the mountain, a white boy was lying on the side of the road, saying that his feet hurt and asking the scholar to give him a ride. Just as the scholar hesitated, the white childe jumped into the goose cage without hesitation. Who would have thought that after leaving the cage, the scholar showed his true colors and the peddler was creepy.

3. Linlin. Linlin and her mother live alone in the mountains, which makes her feel extremely lonely. One day, regardless of her mother's dissuasion, she took her children down the mountain to play and became good friends with Xiao Hu and other friends. In order to be more gregarious and recognized, Linlin showed his extremely precious spike, which attracted the attention of the tiger father (a hunter). What's the secret of Linlin?

The country bus took Wang Hai 'er and the immortal away. Focusing on local nostalgia, the folk stories and legends displayed are all from the small village where the director was born and raised.

5. Xiao Man. In order to record my growth, I borrowed Xiaoman from the twenty-four "solar terms" and went into the children's spiritual world to explore the secret experiences and memories that everyone had experienced.

6. Jade Rabbit. Born out of ancient myths, but grafted with sci-fi imagination, the inspiration comes from the well-known myth and legend "the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon".

7. canteen. Taking the fireworks in the city as the center and the stone lions and gatekeepers as the protagonists, it tells people's longing for a happy life.

8. Birds and fish. Modern version of the folklore "Snail Girl"
