Origin: Soul of the God of War This is the most important costume in The Promise. It is called "Soul of the God of War" by designer Masago Kimiya, and it is also his most satisfactory costume. The design of flower armor is inspired by the shape of flower face in Chinese Peking Opera, which is actually the representative of strength and masculinity in the film. But with the development of the plot, this armor was not only put on by the slave Kunlun, but also became the key to the love triangle among Kunlun, Qingcheng and Guangming. The characteristic of flower armor is that the flowers on the armor will bloom or wither with the wearer's mood, and it is a living armor.

In The Promise, the most important armor is General Liang's red armor. The design of flower armor should be regarded as a kind of creativity, but an unsuccessful creativity cannot be said to be Chen Kaige's boldness and expansion here. Chen Kaige used unconventional expansion techniques to describe traditional figuration, which was doomed to failure. It's always a bit ridiculous when we see a glamorous general wearing a flower armor facing thousands of enemies wearing metal armor on the screen.

The owner of the flower armor can only say that he is not a hero in battle, but a hero in love, which breaks the definition of armor and the traditional image of armor by the public.
