Songlian is a symbol of China after the Revolution Cultural. Initially, Songlian revels in power ignore the traditions and customs. She walks to her new sanheyuan a Chinese courtyard house, instead of waiting for the wedding party usually bears there. At the moment you enter, is faced with a culture revolution: a new family with their own customs, rites and rituals, expected to adhere. The flute teacher burns his father, who burned his connections with his father and forefathers. Songlian entered the family marks the start of competition for power, similar to Chinese Elitists who were competing for capital and political power. Songlian becomes a tyrant, his maid Yan'an suicide, like the Cultural Revolution peasants committed suicide. Later, the Meishan third wife was murdered in the struggle for power. The sanheyuan is configured as the philosophy of Confucianism: architectural design and structural sanheyuan allows a specific set of social rules that exist, and when these rules are applied correctly, the family be well managed, and a smooth functioning of the family contributes to the smooth conduct of a government. This is a Confucian ideology that undermines Songlian constriction. Within this set of social norms, women are protected from outside by the difficulties remain within the walled sanheyuan, the study of Confucianism should be practiced, and the family must be the main focus. In Songlian homes, the difficulties caused havoc, and all women were ruthlessly fight each other for the privilege to have their lights on and massage your feet, symbolizing her control of the master and household. The women bravely ignored the golden rule of Confucianism: a person knows his place in society, and family tradition takes precedence over the individual's defense needs. The resulting revolution erases Confucianism and patriarchy allowing women's liberation and modernity to flow freely without restriction. Unfortunately for Songlian, who goes crazy. by TemporaryOne-1
