Traditional Drama. Based on the original independent and connected traditional dramas "The Bucket Tale" and "The Cursing Book" (also the name of the original traditional drama).
Writing about the cleverness and ability of the daughter of the barrel maker Zhang Tianbao, Jiu Jin was married by the rich man Shi Er as the third daughter-in-law of the family. Jiu jin was envied by her sisters-in-law and returned to her mother's house. Later, a cat owned by the third wife was killed in the Shi family's house, and she took the opportunity to extort money from Shi Er, who invited Jiujin back and subdued the shrewish third wife. The play is based on Shaoxing's folktales, which were produced during the period of small song classes and originated from the bibliographies of floor singing books. The lines are characterized by folk oral literature, and all the words spoken and sung are in Shengxian dialect, which is full of local flavor. The dialogues and metaphors of the characters make use of harmonies and hermetic phrases many times, which are very interesting and entertaining. Jiu Jin and Third Auntie? They curse each other.
