"female: dali is so beautiful in march. it's a good place to put on makeup by the butterfly spring. butterflies are flying here to collect nectar. why are you combing your hair, sister?

male: the water of butterfly spring is so clear, i throw a stone to test the depth, i want to pick flowers but i am afraid of the thorns, i am wandering around with a restless heart.

the song "by the butterfly spring" is an interlude in the 1959 romantic comedy feature film "five golden flowers".

in 1959, the 10th anniversary of the founding of new china, there was a nationwide craze for tribute films, and the literary and art circles also shot a lot of tribute films. premier zhou enlai attached great importance to the effect of these films. after watching some sample films, he thought that there was still a lack of a film reflecting the lives of ethnic minorities. so premier zhou found xia yan, then deputy minister of culture, and asked him to take the lead in creation. xia yan found zhao jikang, a military screenwriter working in menghai county, to discuss, and zhao jikang wrote the movie script "five golden flowers".

at the beginning of the film, the scene of the "march street" grand event of the bai ethnic group in dali is shown. jinhua, the vice president of the people's commune, leads her sisters to drive to the market. unexpectedly, the wheel breaks on the road. apeng, a blacksmith who comes to participate in the horse race, happens to pass by and helps them fix the car. before jinhua has time to thank him, apeng has already jumped on his horse and rushed into the racecourse to participate in the horse race and won the championship. jinhua and apeng have a good impression of each other, and they are in love at the butterfly spring and promise to meet again next year.

"give me a steel knife to wear on my sister. the steel knife is a good testimony. the snow on cangshan mountain melted and erhai lake dried up. it is hard to break a good steel blade. next year, flowers will bloom and butterflies will fly. if you are willing, come and meet me again. i will look for jinhua at the foot of cangshan mountain. jinhua is my sister."

the next year, apeng went there as promised, but jinhua was nowhere to be found. apeng looked everywhere for jinhua, a fertilizer model, jinhua from the livestock farm, jinhua from the steel mill, and jinhua, a tractor driver.

"hey, maybe the person you're looking for is the vice president?"

"she's also called jinhua?"

"yes. she spoke to you when you were on the phone in the mountains, and then she called from the tractor station to ask about you. oh, i think she must be the one you are looking for."

at the wedding of tractor driver jinhua, apeng finally met vice president jinhua. the two met at the butterfly spring where they had sealed their love, and the other four jinhuas also came to the spring to bless their love.

today, more than 60 years have passed since the release of the film "five golden flowers", but this film is still a classic in the hearts of countless movie fans. the beautiful natural scenery of yunnan, the rich ethnic customs of the bai people, the unique comedy style, the moving lyrical songs and the pure love between apeng and jinhua in the film carry people's yearning for a better life. the film has also been screened abroad in 46 countries and regions, setting a record for the highest number of chinese films released abroad at that time, allowing foreign audiences to see the scenes of the people of new china living and working in peace and contentment and living happily.
