The literal translation of the title of this movie actually is: the Love and Hate of The Heavenly Kingdom.
This martial arts flick made in China is different than other martial arts in that unlike others which is mostly based on the novels written by contemporary writers, this one is based on folklore.
However, the folklore is completely fake because after failed Tai-Ping uprising, people sympathetic to the uprising hoped that there would be a chance to uprise again, and spread the rumor of prince had not died while in reality he did die. Although such folklore had absolutely no historical value, it is a good source of literal source from which this martial arts flick is rooted from.
