1. Tiexian calligraphy
The scene of the first act of the film is "iron line calligraphy", and a thin iron line dances on the canvas to form beautiful calligraphy characters. This shot well explains the theme of the whole movie-the power and autonomy of women. The wire is fragile and soft, but when it becomes a calligraphy pen, it can depict a beautiful font with both rigidity and softness, both inside and outside. This is like saying that every woman has her own good things and pursuits. As long as she gives full play to her special skills, she can achieve success and satisfaction in life.
Sleep in hibiscus flowers
An important scene in the film is the painting Water Lily. This scene mainly shows Rong Fei's excessive narcissism and indulgence in her life, and because her behavior changed the queen mother's mind, she was hunted by the Royal Guards. In the picture, she is lying on a marble bed, her body is completely exposed, and her face is drunk and happy. This is what Rong Fei never thought of as a woman, showing her selfishness and lack of sense of responsibility.

In the movie, thirteen girls in Gusu wore different clothes in different scenes. For example, at Master Xiao's banquet, the girls in Gusu all wore jewels to show their status. In the Xiao family, they changed into blue clothes and blended into the atmosphere of the Xiao family. Yang Caiyu and his party, in particular, have been away from home for a long time, and they are still wearing travel clothes during the trip, which shows their perseverance and courage.
4. oblique sunlight
In the last scene of the film, when thirteen girls in Gusu committed suicide on the long beach, many oblique sunlight shone on them, which well showed the lofty spiritual realm of thirteen girls in Gusu. They don't want to be the tool of Cixi any more, and choose to commit suicide to express their grievances and resistance. At the same time, sunshine seems to indicate that they will be free soon, and it symbolizes liberation from suffering.
