The screenwriter of the movie is Mr. Gu Xidong, a famous drama writer. Mr. Gu Xidong, a native of Jiaxing, Zhejiang, his birthplace, Xitang, is a small town covering the flowing water and paddle sound lamps. The gentle charm of the water village made him have a special complex to Jiangnan. The film reflects the strong water village style and the distinctive folk customs of the Jiangnan. Director Ye Ming is also a southerner, and he is also dazzling about Jiangnan culture. There are many beautiful scenes of mulberry workers in the drizzle and turquoise women in Jiangnan to set off the simplicity and peace of rural life.

At the beginning of the movie, the wide Jiangnan Waterfront

The spring breeze blew the south bank of the river, and the rivers flowing across the plains in the south of the Zhejiang river. The endless mulberry trees on both sides of the bank emitted a new bud. Tao Xiaoping, a rural girl, was a native of Jiangnan. After participating in the folk song competition in the county, she sat on the boat to go home. On the boat, she met Xiaomei, a former classmate, and heard that Xiaomei's Yue Opera Troupe was going to rehearse a new drama "Silkworm Flower Girl". She wanted to be an actor Xiaoping, so she followed her new sister -in -law Liu Qiaolian into the city to learn about silkworm technology.

Xiaoping said to sister -in -law's wish to raise silkworms

Tao Xiaoping, the protagonist in the film, is a young girl at a youth. She is childish and happy, full of liveliness and rotten girls of that aging girl. At the beginning of the film, she laughed at each other with the newlywed couples with Kowloon and Qiao Lian, without any contrivation and embarrassment. She ran like she ran away in the countryside, shouting "the bride is here!"; Even the rain on the rainy room like a little boy, "fluttering" into the river to swim.

Xiaoping shouted on the shore: "The bride is here!"

On one occasion, Xiaoping went to the county to play and did not return for a few days, causing Jiulong and Qiao Lian to quarrel. Xiaoping did not notice that the reason why the little couple quarreled was completely for herself, but instead tone from the middle like a person: "Okay, okay, see me face, no one is angry." Children and careless personality. Such features are also manifested in her work and study. When she saw the dexterous hands when others raised silkworms, she secretly vowed: "To raise a lifetime silkworm", but after she was frustrated immediately, she became "becoming an actor."

Xiaoping's distinctive personality is as pure and inadvertent as Jiangnan's sunshine, with a trace of innocence and naughty. But at the same time, she also has the delicateness and sensitivity of Jiangnan girls. When she started to raise silkworms, Xiaoping was full of energy, but her life passed for a long time, and she slashed. So Grandpa criticized her not to advance. Her self -esteem was hit at once, but she did not immediately "spoil and roll", but instead of making early mulberry, secretly, hoping to get everyone's affirmation again. This gentle mind reflects the characteristics of Jiangnan girls' "habits in the heart".

Xiaoping was criticized by everyone for his negligence

Xiaoping's sister -in -law Qiao Lian is more in line with the gentle and subtle personality of the women in Jiangnan. She wanted to raise silkworms, but Kowloon said that the new daughter -in -law was not good at raising silkworms. Although she was a little unwilling, she accepted silently. Because of Xiao Ping's raising silkworm, Kowloon and Qiaolian quarreled several times, but there was no too much "sword tension" between the couple. When facing fierce contradictions, Qiao Lian was more good at resolving patience and peace. Such emotional descriptions and drama conflicts are typical shaping and portrayal of women of Jiangnan women: they often speak softly, laughed without teeth, and they are not big about their behaviors and emotional expression and restraint.

Qiao Lian put on her head for Xiaoping, and the two smiled

Secondly, it is in stark contrast to Xiaoping's three hearts. Qiao Lian treats the work meticulous, serious, and practical. As an elder, Qiao Lian has always played the role of "leader" in Xiaoping's life. She has an example, strictly asking herself not to make mistakes, and at the same time teach Xiaoping, who is younger and more naughty than her. When Xiaoping made a mistake when raising silkworms, Qiao Lian's husband wanted to ask Xiaoping to leave directly, but Qiao Lian persuaded Xiaoping to stay and talked with her, telling her to do things from one In the end, you can't think of this today, and tomorrow. The understanding of Qiao Lian's explanation when dealing with interpersonal relationships is also in line with her gentle positioning of Jiangnan women.

Qiaolian in the mirror shows the gentle temperament of Jiangnan women

In the choice of characters, You Jia, who plays Xiaoping, has a beautiful look, his face is smart and playful, with a smile and a smile, all like from the bottom of his heart, there is no hand -made traces, which fits Xiaoping's youthful personality and image. Zhu Manfang, who plays Qiao Lian, has a long eyebrow and rounded face, and is the appearance of a typical Jiangnan woman. This uninteresting but beautiful appearance is also more suitable for the gentle, practical, and understandable side of Qiao Lian's character. Xiao Ping's tearful eyes are smart

The protagonists of the two women are from ordinary labor class, and they also have the simple and kind quality of Jiangnan girls. However, in terms of personality, Xiaoping is more impulsive and considers the incomplete consideration when dealing with things, resulting in the loss of losses in the process of raising silkworms. Qiao Lian's stability, tolerance, and modesty have always influenced and changed Xiaoping. In the end, Xiaoping, under the temptation of Qiao Lian, quit arrogance and irritability, actively devoted himself to labor production, and harvested the happiness brought about by labor with sweat.

At this theme, rural Jiangnan has a special meaning. It represents a lively life that is very different from the city's greed. In this land that is closer to nature and has not yet been immersed by capitalism, people can improve themselves from labor and find spiritual satisfaction. The selfless rural people described in the film are also different from those who enjoy material wealth. When they encounter difficulties, they can get inspiration and redemption from the vast land they grow. They choose not to blame their companions, but to give generously to help, unite, and overcome difficulties. Even in ordinary posts, farmers can always "twist" into a rope and shine.

Farmers work together and laugh together under the scorching sun

Back to the plot of the film, in the process of learning to raise silkworms, Xiaoping has been in a state of "heart in Cao Ying in Han" due to the urgent pursuit of actor's dream. On a stormy night, Xiaoping asked other members to check on duty in the silkworm room in order to go to the town to watch the show. Unexpectedly, the doors and windows were not closed. When Xiaoping returned, the silkworm was wet and froze. Xiaoping's negligence at work finally led to the incurable development. The setting of this plot is the outbreak and theatrical climax of the whole film. The film paved with small contradictions, and gradually went deeper, and finally pushed Xiaoping to a turning point, which was also the opportunity to fully understand Xiaoping.

Xiaoping caused the silkworm to be wet due to the negligence of her work, causing a big disaster

Xiaoping, who caused a big disaster, regretted it, and ran around but could not do it. In the face of Xiaoping's fault, Qiao Lian did not rebuke, but instead solved the problem for her. Xiaoping looked in his eyes and was grateful. At the same time, I also realized the anxiety, lack of patience, irresponsibility, etc. in the past. She deeply reflected her problem, changed her pain, and with the help and support of Qiao Lian, she was determined to invest in the rural silkworm career and became a real "silkworm flower girl".

Xiaoping realized the mistake under the teachings of Qiao Lian
