Firstly,it is committed to building an excellent traditional Chinese ethical and moral system mainly embodied in the construction of an ideal social and family system formed by absorbing China's excellent traditional ideological culture. Secondly,the works express sincere and pure emotions such as family love, ultimately sublimating into the common emotions of humanity, and extols the spirit of perseverance, unyielding determination, and unrepentant struggle, as well as the heroic spirit.
