In both "The Broken Hairpin" and "Spring Silkworms" are about the conflict between the "traditional" and "modernity." Compare these two stories to see how the "traditional" is presented in the contexts of modernization. When answer this question please be aware that often a the "views" of a story itself can be more complicated than the narrator's expressed views (especially when there is a dramatized narrator as in the case of "The Broken Hair"). In other words, a narrator can be "unreliable."

I included a summary + my own opinion below for your reference on "Silkworm".
Old Tung Pao is an important figure in the novel. He is honest and stubborn and believes that hard work leads to survival. He struggles desperately and puts all his energy into sericulture. He mortgaged his last estate to buy leaf. In order to take good care of the "little darlings", their family hungry insomnia days have to wait in the silkworm house. However, "harvest or disaster" does not bring wealth and happiness. But the more terrible poverty and disaster. Silk fell in value and debt increased. He was so angry that he became seriously ill. Old Tong Bao also has a backward conservative side, he believes that fate and ghosts and gods reverently abide by all the taboos of sericulture, which makes him unable to keep up with the changes of The Times, and finally become a tragic figure. Through his tragic fate, the author shows that it is absolutely impossible to get rid of poverty and live in the old society by labor alone.
