“I suddenly became interested in history.”

"This is something worth celebrating. Buy a few history books quickly and catch up on the lessons."

"Well, I'm not interested in the history in the history books."

"Let me go, what is your situation? You are interested in history, but not interested in the history in history books. So are you interested in history or not interested in history?"

"I'm interested."

"You're interested but haven't read the history books yet?"

"But the history books on the market now all talk about emperors and generals, and palace battles."

“Isn’t that what history books are like?”

"But the real history only contains these emperors and generals, shouldn't ordinary people appear in history books?"

"This is a good question... but ordinary people have nothing to record. If ordinary people record it, how can the history books be remembered?"

"What I mean is that even if not all ordinary people record it, some representative ordinary people should spend more pen and ink."

"Your idea is good, but history books are for the victors, and they will not record ordinary people who are of little use to them."

"I understand."

"What do you understand?"

"I understand, but I still can't read history books."

"Then what are you looking at?"

"Watch Teacher Jiang Ning's live broadcast."

Jiang Ning is not an orthodox historian.

The history Jiang Ning talks about is not necessarily very rigorous.

but.

During this period of time, the series of history Jiang Ning talked about made countless netizens extremely interested in history.

of course.

Their interest is not in emperors and generals. Their interest is in seeing ordinary people like them in history.

only.

In other places, it is difficult for them to hear such explanations.

but.

Here in Jiangning, a new and different interpretation of history emerged.

such as.

Zhang Yanghao was talked about by Jiang Ning in the last issue.

For Zhang Yanghao.

Naturally, there is such a person written in the history books.

After all, although Zhang Yanghao was Han Chinese, he also served as an official in the Yuan Dynasty.

Some history books still record him.

but.

Even if you read all the history books, they will only record that he did certain things.

But even so.

You are not that familiar with the character Zhang Yanghao, nor do you know him that well.

but.

After listening to Jiang Ning’s explanation.

Only then did everyone discover what kind of person Zhang Yanghao was and what his inner thoughts were.

more at the same time.

After reading "Tong Cares about the Ancients" written by Zhang Yanghao.

Everyone's hearts became extremely heavy.

They are about history.

Got a different view.

Is this dynasty change worthwhile or not?
Is the arrival of this prosperous age worth celebrating?

for thousands of years.

It seems to be exactly what this poem says.

Xing, the people suffer.

die, the people suffer.

Then.

if it is like this.

How much research significance do those emperors have compared to ordinary people?

……

"Teacher Jiang Ning, Teacher Jiang Ning... the class has started, the class has started quickly."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, it's another new day. Isn't the live broadcast started yet?"

"Teacher Jiang Ning..."

A whole new day.

Thousands of netizens are urging Jiang Ning to live broadcast again.

"Don't rush me, it will be online in a moment."

After sending a message to everyone, Jiang Ning went online.

"Teacher Jiang Ning, why are you so late today?"

"The main reason is that I have been busy today and contacted many domestic drama teams."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, do you want to do a drama?"

"I have this idea."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, may I advise you not to engage in drama?"

"why?"

"This is purely unprofitable."

"I know this."

Jiang Ning nodded: "However, if there is a good script, this is not necessarily the case."

"A good script is useless. Nowadays, no one will go to watch a drama live. Not to mention that the fee is expensive, and the performance of the drama team is relatively limited, which is not as convenient as making a movie."

"Although movies are good, sometimes they are not as powerful as live performances in dramas."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, you are so awesome."

"I understand what you mean. However, my drama is not impulsive. So, today I will tell you about the four drama masters of the Yuan Dynasty. Or, at that time, they should be called masters of Yuan opera. They are Bai Pu, Zheng Guangzu, Ma Zhiyuan, and Guan Hanqing. These four people are also called the Four Masters of Yuan Opera."

The Yuan Dynasty was indeed very short.

but.

In this relatively short period of time, an extremely amazing culture was also produced.This culture is called Yuanqu.

Speaking of Yuan Opera, we have to mention these four masters.

"Let's talk about Bai Pu first. Bai Pu is the son of Bai Hua, an official of the Jin Dynasty. Later, the Jin Dynasty was destroyed, and the world unified into the Yuan Dynasty. Although Bai Pu was smart and studious, Prime Minister Zhongshu You also recommended him to become an official in the court, but Bai Pu But he refused. Because his father had a good relationship with Yuan Haowen, the leader of the northern literary world at that time, when the Jin Dynasty collapsed, Bai Pu was also taken in by Yuan Haowen and regarded as his own. Therefore, Bai Pu also inherited the Yuan Haowen's talent is outstanding in poetry and poetry."

"It's just that although Bai Pu is good at poetry and poetry, the country hates the death of his family. Every time he faces the Yuan Dynasty, Bai Pu can only sigh. For this reason, Bai Pu took poetry and poetry as his career, and created many works to vent his dissatisfaction and expose the At that time, there were a lot of social darkness and works that reflected the popular sentiments of the people. One of his pieces, "Pei Shaojun's Horse on the Wall", talks about the power of men and women to pursue love alone, and finally ends successfully. It is considered one of the four great comedies of the Yuan Dynasty. one."

Jiang Ning talked a little about "Pei Shaojun's Horse on the Wall".

then.

Jiang Ning was talking about the next person, Zheng Guangzu.

"Compared to Bai Pu, Zheng Guangzu's status is obviously much lower. After all, although Bai Pu is not an official, he has a good family background, and he was raised by Yuan Haowen since he was a child. Some of his relatives and friends are also from the upper class. But Zheng Guangzu But it was different. Although Zheng Guangzu studied well, he did not get much fame in the imperial examination. In the end, he had no choice but to become a minor official. A minor official looked like an official, but in fact he was a subordinate of an official. His status was very low, because once he became an official If they are people, their descendants will not be able to take part in the imperial examinations, and will no longer be able to obtain fame, let alone become officials."

In the previous imperial examination case of Tang Bohu, Tang Bohu was punished as a minor official.

This is equivalent to depriving Tang Bohu of his fame and the fame of his descendants.

This is quite a severe punishment.

So Tang Bohu did not become a minor official in the end.

On the contrary, Xu Xiake's great ancestor Xu Jing obediently became a minor official, but this also prevented the Xu family from taking part in the imperial examination for three generations.

"Because Zheng Guangzu was a minor official and his status was not good. In addition, Zheng Guangzu was an upright man and was not good at dealing with people in the officialdom. Therefore, even if Zheng Guangzu was a minor official at that time, his living conditions were not good. Many officials in the officialdom looked down upon him. . But despite this, the actors and people in Hangzhou like Zheng Guangzu very much. As for the reason, it is that Zheng Guangzu is good at writing dramas. Whenever Zheng Guangzu's new plays appear, many actors compete to perform, and at the same time he wins a lot of people. of applause.”

"His masterpiece "A Chinese Girl Leaving the Soul" is about the scholar 'Wang Wenju' whose parents arranged for him to have a life-long marriage with Zhang Qiannu when he was young. However, Qiannu's mother later forced Wenju to take the exam because three generations of her family did not recruit white-clad sons-in-law. Wang Wenju After setting off, Zhang Qiannu's soul separated from her body and she was bedridden, but her soul caught up with Wang Wenju and lived with her. Wang Wenju won the first prize in one fell swoop and brought back Qiannu's soul. Qiannu's soul and body became one, and everyone was happy."

This kind of story about a talented man and a beautiful woman was very popular among the people at that time.

Even now.

There is also a huge market.

……

"The third place, Ma Zhiyuan, is a Han. But unlike Zhang Yanghao, Zhang Yanghao became famous at a young age and later became an official in the Yuan Dynasty. But Ma Zhiyuan is different. Although his background is not bad, because the Yuan Dynasty did not value Han people, So Ma Zhiyuan has no fame. But although Ma Zhiyuan has no fame, he is very good at poetry. We can use a poem to evaluate the level of his poetry."

side said.

Jiang Ning wrote this poem by Ma Zhiyuan.

[Withered vines, old trees and dim crows,

Xiaoqiaoliu Shui Renjia,

Ancient westerly horse.

Sunset, heartbroken people in the horizon. 】

Yes.

This poem.

It is the pure sand in the sky and the thoughts of autumn.

It is also Ma Zhiyuan’s masterpiece.

"The level of this poem is quite high."

"Not only is it high, it is also very state-of-the-art and has a sense of imagery."

"Just hearing it made me a little drunk."

Close your eyes.

However, a paradise in the world emerged in everyone's mind.

Countless fans wish they could immediately put down what they were doing and take a walk towards the small bridge and flowing water.

"So, it was precisely because Ma Zhiyuan was good at poetry. For this reason, Ma Zhiyuan also wrote poems to the then prince. It is said that after the prince saw Ma Zhiyuan's poems, Ma Zhiyuan served as an official for several years. But after the prince died, Ma Zhiyuan left Beijing. Unsatisfied with his official career, Ma Zhiyuan finally gave up his pursuit of fame and began to devote himself to the study of opera. His masterpiece "Autumn in the Palace of the Han Dynasty" was once considered the best drama in the Yuan Dynasty."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, can you tell me about the Autumn of Han Dynasty?"

"of course can."

Jiang Ning nodded, and then said: "Han Palace Autumn is based on Zhaojun's departure from the Han Dynasty. At that time, the Western Han Dynasty was very powerful, and the Xiongnu in the north also split into five chanyu forces. One of the chanyus was called Hu Hanxie, He surrendered to the Han Dynasty and said he wanted to become the son-in-law of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Han Yuan was very happy, so he selected a palace maid to give Hu Hanxie as his wife. This palace maid was called Wang Zhaojun."

"Although Wang Zhaojun didn't want to go to the Huns, she still agreed for the sake of peace in the Han Dynasty. Before going to the Huns, Wang Zhaojun bid farewell to Emperor Han Yuan. But when Emperor Han Yuan saw Wang Zhaojun's face, he discovered that Wang Zhaojun had grown taller. She was as beautiful as a fairy. Emperor Han Yuan wanted to keep Wang Zhaojun, but he could not take back the emperor's life with his golden words. After returning to the palace, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. There was such a beautiful woman in the palace, how could he not know about it? Woolen cloth?"

"After a subsequent investigation, Emperor Han Yuan found out. It turned out that when Wang Zhaojun entered the palace, he did not bribe the painter at the time. Therefore, the painter painted an extra mole on Wang Zhaojun's portrait. As a result, there was originally a big mole. The beauty turned ugly because of this mole. When Emperor Han Yuan wanted to arrest the painter, he found that the painter had fled to the Xiongnu. In the end, Emperor Han Yuan had no choice but to give Wang Zhaojun to Shanyu, but despite this, Emperor Han Yuan was still extremely reluctant to say goodbye to Wang Zhaojun at Baqiao..."

It can be said.

Not to mention the form of the opera.

Just the story of Wang Zhaojun is extremely vivid.

"Holy crap, why did Teacher Jiang Ning want to do a drama? If these dramas were performed in the form of a drama, they would definitely explode."

"That's not true. Films like "A Chinese Legend of a Chinese Girl Leaving the Soul" and "Autumn in the Palace of Han Dynasty" are both excellent."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, when will your drama come out? You are making me want to watch the drama."

Many people listened with great rapt attention.

smiled.

Jiang Ning said: "I just introduced it earlier. The dramas I really want to create are not the above ones."

"Which one is that?"

"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly."

Jiang Ning still followed the rhythm of his live broadcast and continued: "I just mentioned three Yuan Opera masters, so I will introduce the last one. The last one is called Guan Hanqing. Compared with the previous Yuan Opera masters, Guan Hanqing is An authentic master who made a living from opera. He was born in the last years of the Jin Dynasty. After the Jin Dynasty fell, Guan Hanqing came to Yuan Dadu to make a living."

"At that time, Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty was very prosperous, and there were many restaurants and entertainment venues on the streets. For this reason, Guan Hanqing specialized in drama work. During his work, Guan Hanqing created many drama works. Such as "Save Fengchen" and "Wangjiang" Pavilion", "Lu Zhailang", "Single Sword Club"... etc. However, the most classic one is "The Injustice of Dou E that Moves Heaven and Earth". This drama is also called the most classic and most popular drama in the Yuan Dynasty. A brilliant script. Even now, it is still shocking, and few works can surpass it."

"The Yuan Dynasty is the most classic and glorious...Teacher Jiang Ning, what story is this script about?"

Everyone's heart trembled.

they feel.

A legendary script is about to appear.

"This story tells the story of Dou E, a weak and helpless widow. Under the persecution of the corrupt official Tao Chu, she was falsely accused of being the "drugged father-in-law." She was eventually beheaded in public."

"Uh... Teacher Jiang Ning, this story seems to be relatively simple. Is it just an unjust case?"

"Correct."

"Isn't an unjust case too simple? You know, for thousands of years, we don't know how many unjust cases, major cases."

"Simple is simple, but this injustice is no ordinary injustice. Just like the title, it moves the world."

"It's so touching... Well, Teacher Jiang Ning, I still don't understand something."

"fine."

"But you said this is the most classic and glorious play of the Yuan Dynasty. Even now, few scripts can surpass it."

"Yes."

"A very simple injustice case is also said to be the most glorious and classic. Isn't it a bit contradictory?"

"Whether it is a contradiction or not, everyone will know when the time comes."

Jiang Ning did not continue.

What is this script like?

You’ll only know if you’ve seen it.

In the end, whether this script is the most glorious can only be understood after appreciating it.
