「夸父逐日」是上古的神话故事。现代社会几乎摈弃了通过口述的方式来存储记忆，小龙花尝试糅杂自己的理解，重塑这代代相传的故事，从不同来源的信息碎片中找到诉说的缝隙。演绎一种新的记忆载体——数字石碑，等待后来者破译解读。

萧勇为小龙花的《夸父逐日》写了一篇文章，我们用表格的形式将其呈现在书盒上。在表格中，夸父逐日的基础叙事被拆解为这5个结构性点位，它们保证了故事最基本的完整和连贯。每个点位可以扩展为一个由无尽词汇元素构成的集合。将它们任意拼合，无论组成了怎样诡异、错乱、滑稽、荒谬的情节，也只是千万可能性中的一种。

"Kua Fu Chasing the Sun" is an ancient mythological story. In modern society, preserving memories through oral storytelling has virtually disappeared. This is Xiao Longhua’s attempt to reshape this story passed down through generations, blending his own understanding and uncovering crevices of narrative from fragmental information concealed in various sources. He presents a new form of memory medium - digital stele, awaiting decipherment and interpretation by future generations. 

On the box there is a diagram, which is composed according to a text written by Xiao Yong. In the diagram, the basic narrative of Kua Fu chasing the Sun is disassembled into these 5 structural points, ensuring the most basic completeness and coherence of the story. Each point can be expanded into a set composed of endless lexical elements.Please mix and match them arbitrarily, creating plots that may be bizarre, chaotic, funny, or absurd, but are just one of the countless possibilities.
