We see the long hair flowing free
我们看到本来在战斗前
that would have been combed before battle.
应被梳理整齐的长发自由地飘逸
We see a sword lying on the ground

exactly like the swords discovered in the grave.
和墓中发现的剑一模一样
But that is just the beginning.

Yes, there are occasional moments of combat and battle

but they're flat, they're very stylised,
但它们都是平面的 程式化的
they don't feel like the smash of bone and bronze

and metal and the spout of blood, this does.
