The film is full of women and the pathos of the old society. The red lanterns are lit every night, and the gloomy sky has never been clear. The tasteless side dishes and the repeated days reveal a woman's hypocrisy and jealousy.
The yard is closed, quiet, life is dull and depressing, the four wives of a family repeat every day, singing operas, scheming and calculating, seemingly calm and unremarkable, but they spend their respective joys and sorrows through the four seasons, and the joy of life and death all by myself
The high-hanging red lanterns are seen as cold and heavy in feudal ethics, and their excellent control of colors not only makes the film extremely beautiful, but also brings a strong visual impact to the film. Just like a cage, it has best ridiculed the darkness of feudalism.
