Shooting situation of Dingjun Mountain

In the late 1950s, Liu, an apprentice of Fengtai Photo Studio, was interviewed, and the interview left the most detailed record of the shooting of Dingjun Mountain:

"... there are two red pillars and a white cloth curtain under the porch. The house became the temporary residence of Boss Tan, and his entourage, pianist and drummer all came. In the courtyard outside, the camera called "mobile box" is placed on the back wall of the front yard. Liu, a photographer, is the best photographer in Fengtai. Although I practiced several times a few days ago, I was still a little nervous when I really went into battle. After the sound of gongs and drums, an ancient military commander with a big knife flashed out from behind the curtain. This is the old yellow bell of Dingjun Mountain, which is the best in Tan Xinpei. When playing gongs and drums, he shook his mouth and stood the knife like a pillar. When he heard someone shouting, "Shake it," Liu shook it hard.
