It have made up the prosperity of a government official''s family in “The young heroes and heroines’s story”, but the illustration to the ordinary daily life is abundant and plural. We can find out some life culture and habits of Qing Dynasty from it. When describing the personages'' dress, the author writes in a simple or complex style.
