On the surface, "Ju Dou" is an unethical story of an adopted son falling in love with his aunt, but there is an extremely grand theme behind him, that is, China's thousands of years of feudal ethics have actually swallowed up the freedom of countless people. After tossing and tossing his concubine to death, Jinshan can justifiably spend money to buy Judou, who is more than 20 years younger than himself. He can also sexually abuse and beat Judou in the name of inheriting the lineage. Ironically, there is a line in the movie that is regarded as the golden rule, and it is repeatedly mentioned that "come according to the rules of the ancestors." Because of the rules of the ancestors, although Jinshan himself married three wives, he must abide by the rules of women in a duel after his death. Keeping chastity and never remarrying for the rest of your life, you must follow the rules of your ancestors, so those who were almost burned to death by Jinshan and Tianjin Yougui stopped coffins at the village entrance, and they had to express themselves seventy-seven-forty-nine times. The villagers who secretly talked about Tianqing and Judou, and the old nun who deliberately said that the chili noodles were contraceptives to Judou, etc., they all acted as the executioners invisibly. They are unaware of their own sins, and they can see that the ignorance and viciousness of this feudal ethics has penetrated into everyone's pores.
