Birds in the Phoenix eulogizes the folk artists' love and persistence in traditional culture. The whole film is full of strong regional color, with "one day as a teacher, one life as a father" as the emotional development clue. Mentoring is no more touching than the true feelings of father and son. Tao Zeru plays Jiao San Ye in the play. He is simple and honest, with a stubborn temper, a black and white jacket, a suona in his hand and a bag of cold air. He is an old artist who eats suona as a meal and treats his disciples warmly. The whole drama focuses on the growth of Xiaoyou Tian Ming. From Xiao Ming's apprenticeship to learning skills, after hardships, he was finally recognized by the master with firm perseverance and tireless practice, and finally became an excellent suona artist when he grew up. The whole narrative closely revolves around the relationship between master and apprentice, from strangers to mutual affection, from the initial appearance of suona spirit to the inheritance of suona skills, which profoundly demonstrates the traditional folk culture and the spirit of suona artists.
