''Curse of the Golden Flower'' is a 2006 {{epic|Movie}} Chinese {{Wuxia}} drama film directed by Creator/ZhangYimou. It follows the [[ImperialChina imperial family of China]] in the Forbidden City in UsefulNotes/{{Beijing}} and the various [[GambitPileup wheels within wheels]] they have going against each other.
Near the end of the Tang dynasty, TheEmperor has been away at war for three years, along with his second son, [[WarriorPrince Prince Jai]] (Music/JayChou). They return to the Forbidden City as the Chrysanthemum Festival approaches, and soon plots, old secrets, and family dynamics all come out of the woodwork. The emperor is thinking of naming a new successor. The crown prince, Wan, is having an affair with his [[ParentalIncest stepmother]] and the imperial doctor's daughter. The doctor's daughter, Chan, has been adding a new ingredient to the empress's medicine. The empress, believed to be suffering from anemia for years, is suddenly getting much worse. Not to mention she has taken on a mountain of embroidery that she insists must be finished in time for the festival. And no one pays any attention to the youngest prince, Yu.
