Awakening of Insects, February 2, a key date in the lunar calendar
The earth began to thaw, the weather gradually warmed up, and the farmers said goodbye to their idle time and started working in the fields.
But for the people of Xiling, today was an especially important festival, because today was the day the Tang Clan's Wancheng Treasure Ship returned.
It wasn't only the Tang and Mi clans who were clever in this world. When Xiling's two largest clans saw their power surge from their maritime trade, smaller clans naturally followed in their footsteps.
They built their own ships, followed the treasure ship out to sea, thinking that even if they couldn't partake in the feast, they would at least get the soup. But the treasure ship's capacity was too big; even the crumbs were too much for these smaller merchant ships to take in.
Therefore, to this day, the so-called maritime fleet only consists of these two Wancheng Treasure Ships.
