The story begins in the late Ming Dynasty when Ni Xingfu was born and met his neighbor Tian Laocai's son Tian Wawa who was "riddled with meat and eggs" by Ma Zi in Dongshan (the local bandit who claimed to be the king of Zhanshan was Ma Zi). Ni Xingfu lived in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty when society was extremely unstable. He heard and witnessed the tyranny of horses and bullies, the intrigues in secular society, and felt the hardship of ordinary people's lives. Coupled with the influence of his grandfather Ni Hou, he determined to learn martial arts since he was a child, determined not to let horses "close (close) to his village", and let the villagers live a stable life. "A Bowl of Poisonous Paste" focuses on shaping typical characters such as Ni Xingfu, Tang Cheng, Ni Hou, Tian Laocai, Tanang Gua, Er Shimao, Ni Huaicai, Datou, Ma Pao, etc. It truly reflects the reality of the lower class society in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, expresses the theme of punishing evil and promoting good, and enhancing national self-confidence, and highly praises the spirit of self-sacrifice for the people and the nation.
