As a result, the roof was leaked by the bell, and the old beams fell down, killing him. The sleeping gourd. Their peaceful apprentice life has changed dramatically since then: Yu Zhongsheng was unjustly imprisoned, the pregnant Xiaochuan gave birth to Yu Zhongsheng's child, and got married to Yin Dongyi, using the marriage as a trap to retaliate against the second senior brother.

They failed to pass the entrance examination, died accidentally, surrendered to jail, and got married for revenge. The first three episodes of "Outside the Drum Tower" are fast and fascinating. Many viewers said: "With both heritage charm and legendary color, "Outside the Drum Tower" tells a different story about Beijing." "Yu Zhongsheng and Yin Dongyi The war between the same disciples has begun, a bit like Silly Zhu and Xu Damao."

Master and apprentice are taught by craftsmanship, and they are particular!

Carry forward traditional culture and praise the ingenuity inherited from teachers. "Outside the Drum Tower" is based on the teacher-instructor relationship between an old carpenter and his four apprentices, and the breakdown and reconciliation of the four brothers' relationship as the main line, conveying the positive energy of art being greater than heaven, harmony and tolerance, and seeking truth and kindness.

The opening chapter of "Outside the Drum Tower" is eye-catching and full of charm. It shows the meticulousness and rules of carpentry craftsmen through a entrance examination. The title of the entrance examination for the four apprentices was Ming-style incense table. The four legs of the Ming-style incense table must be made thin. Antique is the trend and cannot be made subjectively. The workmanship of Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty furniture must not be mixed. The typical sunflower-shaped five-legged incense table emphasizes a high waist, a fish hole door inside, three curved legs and slender legs, and strict proportion requirements. The works of the four apprentices were criticized one by one by the master, judged to be unqualified, and not allowed to become apprentices. The apprentices argued that they had never seen a real Ming-style incense table, and they all followed the instructions in the book. They hoped that the master would take out the Ming-style incense table from his collection for reference. The master bluntly said that he did not have one, and that only the four brothers could see the real Ming-style incense table. Faced with the fact that the apprentices were unconventional and uncooperative, the master warned them sternly: "Everyone does his or her own thing, everyone wants to get ahead, and everyone wants to make a lot of money. There is no way."
