Chinese Hyperbole

Chinese Hyperbole

Yesterday I watched a movie called 'Green Destiny', original title is 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'. I just wonder how the scene in Qing Dynasty was so similar to what was then in Edo Period in Japan. For example, lantern, tiles on the roofs. But different in how to use sword and the existence of gate in front of capital city.
Besides most of all I noticed was clear sign of Chinese hyperbole that doesn't exist in Japan's movies. Actually I though that was an origin of special effect later widely adopted in Western movies as Star Wars, The Lord of the Ring, Harry Potter. Chinese hyperbole is a key to enjoy their movies. There's a piece of truth, though, was the word a hero uttered.
Wherever you go, you have to maintain your sincerity.
Actually I do, so I always face difficulties before me, yet I don't change since it is the way I do.
