In fact, I found that the film is full of some kind of metaphor

Laomouzi used a kind of Olympic pomp to explain some truths .

One:
what the king said is yours, if you don't give it to you, you can't grab it. So we don't keep complaining about this inequality and that inequality, everyone should be content.
2:
No matter whether the king poisoned his wife and beat his son to death, it was because the family looked more loyal, filial, polite, and harmonious. Of course, our society should also be harmonious.
Reason 3:
The people arranged by Wang are usually in the dark in the corners on the roof. Don't think that you are fooling around and no one will see you. One click will kill you, and everyone must be obedient.
Reason 4:
The king said that this is a good medicine. Even if you know it is poison, you should drink it happily, and drink it to the point where there is not a drop left. People say it's for your own good, why don't you do it?
Reason 5:
Sometimes there will be rebellions from below, just like Jay Chou said that it is not for your political power, but if you stab my mother with a knife, you will recognize it.
Reason 6:
Even if there is a bloody battle and the ground is full of mess, as long as you have enough power, enough eunuchs, enough waves, fresh chrysanthemums, and new carpets, you can completely decorate the peace in a very short time, and you can stand still. Sing praises on it! This reminds me a lot...
Reason 7:
It is also what Jay Chou said, everyone must remember that rebellion will definitely not win
