合錦回文傳

A brilliant weaver named Su Ruolan, famed for both beauty and literary talent, crafts a wondrous piece of silk called the “Xuanji Map.” This palindromic embroidery weaves together more than eight hundred characters in five‑coloured threads, its verses so subtle that only her husband can truly read them. When he finally examines the work, the hidden poetry of longing and remorse mends the rift between them, restoring the harmony of their marriage.

Centuries later the legendary cloth resurfaces in fragments, drawing the curiosity of scholars and officials. Liang Sheng, a modest administrator, acquires a half‑lost piece and brings it home, where his precocious son, a child of extraordinary memory, begins to untangle its verses. The boy’s uncanny ability to recreate forgotten lines astonishes the local magistrate, hinting at a talent that could change the fortunes of those who possess the mysterious tapestry.
