The story background of Family Biography spans from 1920s to 1940s, which is the most important period in China's modern history. One of the highlights of the play's modeling is "Shanghai Style Cheongsam", which was selected into the Shanghai Intangible Cultural Heritage List. In the first half of the 20th century, Han women in the Republic of China designed a fashion based on Manchu women's traditional flag dress, which was a mixture of eastern and western cultures. Cheongsam, as the most representative female costume in the Republic of China, completed the transformation from traditional Manchu cheongsam to modern cheongsam in the 1920s and 40s. In the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, cheongsam in each period had its obvious characteristics of the times. Restoring the beauty of traditional cheongsam according to the real background of the times is the main direction of female modeling in family inheritance.

Then there is embroidery. China traditional embroidery has always been a major feature of our modeling. The embroidery technology of "heirloom" mainly adopts traditional embroidery such as Suzhou embroidery, Pearl embroidery and Panjin embroidery, and draws lessons from Gu embroidery.

In addition, the "family biography" also embodies the "Tongli Xuanjuan". Tongli Xuanjuan is a rap in Wujiang or Tongli dialect, which combines rhyme with prose. The average number of people varies from 3 to 8. One person is responsible for the announcement, one or two people are in harmony, and the rest are accompanied by musical instruments. Xuanjuan's performance is simple, flexible and improvisational. In the past, it often performed in teahouses and downtown areas. The application of Tongli Xuanjuan in the play can better create the atmosphere of the times. In 2009, the People's Government of Jiangsu Province announced Tongli Xuanjuan as the second batch of intangible cultural heritage list projects in Jiangsu Province.
