I found that the screenwriter really understands Chinese culture.
The story is about Apo giving a class to the little bunnies, telling the gossip before the fame of the Five Heroes in the world, in the order of mantis, spirit snake, crane, tiger girl and golden monkey. If you think about it carefully, the order is important. Mantis is self-taught and has no background, so it is the first to appear. Spirit Snake's father is a local martial arts master, famous for his venom. Therefore, Ling Snake is the descendant of the famous family, but because he has no fangs, he did not inherit his father's kung fu. The growth story of Xianhe is a bit like a god-sweeping monk. He graduated from the famous Lida Wushu Academy and has a good relationship with the famous master May Ling, so Xianhe is a graduate of a famous school and has received systematic training. The third appearance . Hu Niu is an orphan who lived in the orphanage when she was young. She had a bad temper and could not control her strength. She was trained and adopted by Master shifu purposefully. The finale is the golden monkey, who was naughty because of the shadow of the pants falling off when he was a teenager, but he has a stunt, because he was enlightened by the turtle master and finally appeared.
From the above description, it can be found that the order of appearances of the five heroes in this small fan is not determined by their respective strengths, but is actually determined by their origins, backgrounds, and who is inspired by them. For example, Hu Niu is obviously stronger than Golden Monkey, but Hu Niu is inspired by Little Raccoon, Golden Monkey is inspired by Master Turtle, and Master Turtle is higher than Master Little Raccoon, so Golden Monkey is the finale in this short film. This arrangement really won the essence of Chinese people's ranking culture.
