Based on the classic tale by Feng Menglong, this animation was produced by Shanghai Animation Film Studio soon after the country’s reform and opening. A grumpy jade emperor has decreed that the pesky Yuangong must guard the holy ‘sealed’ book for life – a penance for leaking the text to the human world, in breach of heaven’s law.
