Da Tong Luo 打铜锣

Description:

Mending a Pot and Beating a Gong is made up of two plays, Beating a Gong and Mending a Pot. The first is set during harvest season, when the production team sends Cai Jiu with a gong to notify every household to shut in their chickens and ducks and not let them out to eat the team's grain. Aunt Lin knowingly breaks the rule, and Cai Jiu teaches her a lesson that makes her realize her mistake. The second tells of Aunt Liu, who lacks a proper understanding of the pot-mending trade and refuses to marry her daughter to a tinker; in the end, real life opens her eyes and changes her mind.
