Pieces only take up a small part. In this regard, the film can score more than 90 points. From the sets, costumes, props to the overall visual effects, this film surpasses the previous costume films "Heroes", " House of Flying Daggers " and "Promise", and the production is very good.

The overlapping of this single similar element makes the audience feel tired, so it is difficult to bring individual emotions into the mood of the film.
