This is a frequently performed opera which is designed for the huadan (lively young girl) role. Simple in plot, it relies mainly on dramatic technique to entertain its audiences.

This ancient story of a young country girl's awakening of first love is brought to life on stage by the vivid gestures of the female protagonist: the delicacy of her motions as she does needlework, her graceful posture as she feeds the chickens and her shyness as she engages in flirtation with a young man and jests with the good-natured old matchmaker.

The item The Jade Bracelet is the first part of the story featured in the opera The Temple of Karmic Law.
