One example can be found in the Taiwan television serial "Empress of an Age," where aside from portraying the Empress Wu as a strong female in the traditional mold, the writers also see fit to credit her success to the support of two capable men. Not even a TV series which exalts the most legendary female figure in Chinese history can escape the confines of maleoriented thinking.
就以連續劇＜一代女皇＞為例，編劇者除了將武氏塑造為具有堅忍美德的傳統婦女外，還將她成就霸業的過程歸功於兩個能幹男人的扶持；一齣頌揚歷史上最傳奇女性的連續劇實則不免男性中心思想的限制。
