the north is a barbaric, predatory, uncultured, and ugly (refer to the people who work under him). role casting), the military invaders

the traditional society in the south as a civilized, peace-loving, literate, handsome, and idyllic.
This makes you think, I said there is something similar to "Gone with the Wind" The intertextuality between ” is definitely nonsense, and it goes back to the East and its imaginary interior, which is more or less an internal Orientalist perspective. With Zhou Yu, Xiao Qiao and Zhuge Liang as the center of the narrative, Chibi is proficient in all kinds of handsomeness, knowledge, tea art, piano art, swordsmanship, and all six arts in the film. . By examining the obvious revisions to history here, the history of Jiangnan, which was the land of barbarians, in the Three Kingdoms period was revised into the history of the south, which is the hometown of Hong Kong and Taiwan culture in modern times.
