There is also a reason why I don't like watching Korean historical dramas. Trying to separate the far-reaching influence of the Central Plains culture on it, the scene layout is shoddy. Compared with the long history and profound accumulation of China's 2,000-year-old culture, South Korea, as a vassal state of the Central Plains, should find it difficult to create profound works. Six Dragons Flying is an exception. The writer's ambition is not only to shape the growth history of an iron-blooded monarch, but also to vividly depict all beings in troubled times, such as monarchs and courtiers, knights and counselors, generals and people ... If you follow the TV perspective and stand in everyone's position, you can't help but think, what is evil? What is good? Every choice is for protection? Or to plunder? Standing on the moral high ground has no good side, and there is no bad side in the end. Everyone is wandering in their own interests and values, and their destinies are connected with each other.
In just 50 episodes, that is, more than 50 hours in length, fleshy characters have been created, such as North Korean designer Zheng, upright but indecisive, naive, kind and honest, with strong martial arts but forbearing grief, and wandering between love and responsibility, which completely shows the life course from childhood to youth and then to middle age for decades.
Both the portrayal of the protagonist Liu Long and the portrayal of the supporting role are true and three-dimensional. The development of the plot is interlocking and the rhythm is relaxed, which shows the profound skill of the screenwriter. The cold history of usurping the throne and seizing power makes people see it with relish and have a boiling passion. As the saying goes, history is cold, but people are really alive. Although it was later generations who guessed the wishes of the ancients, it successfully provided a historical interpretation, allowing us to learn some spiritual nutrients in this world.
Li Fangyuan and his father Li Chenggui.
The decision to see the Six Dragons Flying is influenced by mourning. The tense relationship between father and son in "Mourning" makes people suddenly cry. Yingzu, the monarch of the Lee family in North Korea, starved to death in a rice cupboard, vividly depicting the distorted father-son relationship of feudal emperors. Different from the attitude of many film critics, I think "Mourning" is a work with limited space and is not particularly full. It is true that watching Song Kanghao, the old-school film winner, and Liu Aren, the new-school film winner, is very enjoyable, but the change of people's hearts is measured by time, so Regret for the Past has an inherent disadvantage in narrative than Six Heroes of the Flying Dragon. Yoo Ah In said that Regret for the Past exhausted all his acting skills, and he even really knocked his head off in the kowtowing scene. However, under such limited bedding, I am still afraid that I will "push too hard." "Six Dragons Flying" is also depicting the relationship between father and son, but it looks much calmer. I think Liu Yaren also gave his best performance so far. Everything you do gives people a natural feeling.
My father, General Li Chenggui, galloped on the battlefield and made great achievements. In Li Fangyuan's childhood, his father was Jan Tegel (Mongolian, the strongest man). But what he didn't expect was that his father would bow his arrogant head to Li. Li, insidious but powerful. This sense of powerlessness in life is unbearable for ambitious Li Fangyuan. He felt that his world had collapsed and his strength seemed to be reduced by half. Father is no longer the banner that guides his life. For the first time in his life, he felt lost. It was not until he met Zheng, a Confucian who was not afraid of power and stood up for his words that he finally had a spiritual pillar.
Li Fangyuan was brilliant since he was a child and was the fifth son of General Li Chenggui. My brother and Li are both my father's right-hand men, and my younger brothers Li and Li Fangfan are still young. For Li Fangyuan, he is not the most important or favorite person of his father. Therefore, he never thought of deliberately catering to his father's wishes. He has his own independent way of thinking and free room for growth. In Sungkyunkwan's difficult and lonely youth, he further honed his disobedient character.
Li Fangyuan secretly covered Ann Bian Ce's father's general print, which was the beginning of the discord between father and son. Such a perverse thing not only challenges the authority of the father, but also puts the life of the whole family at risk because of such behavior. Li Fangyuan failed to convince his father, so he made a decision for his father in this way. Seemingly reckless, but actually very confident. He firmly believes in his own judgment and thinks that as long as he does it right, his father can only do nothing. In fact, this reckless decision only opened a reasonable prelude to the subsequent mutiny. If it weren't for Li Fangyuan's courage, my cautious father would never have taken this step. Li Fangyuan's determination is different from ordinary people, which makes him stand out from the crowd and makes his persecuted father have an indissoluble bond with him.
Li Fangyuan played an important role in the process of his father Li Chenggui overthrowing Korea and establishing a new Korea, but he did not naturally become a prince. It happened that the father made his favorite little son, Li, the heir, which was the beginning of the break between father and son. Li Fangyuan and his father are diametrically opposed in character. His father is indecisive, but Li Fangyuan is decisive. Just as he couldn't understand why his father wanted a coup, he was afraid that his hands were covered with blood. My father was also afraid of Li Fangyuan's reckless actions again and again. My father galloped on the battlefield and was wise all his life. He carefully protected his image in the hearts of the people, protected his reputation in the hearts of future generations, and tried to weaken the image of the predator. When I knew Zheng Mengzhou was going to be killed, I still couldn't make up my mind to divide Zheng Mengzhou into Aauto Quicker. Because Zheng Mengzhou is a good friend in the past and a loyal minister of South Korea in the hearts of the people. Li Fangyuan killed Zheng Mengzhou in Shanzhuqiao in order to save his own general trend, but his father thought it ruined the people's goodwill towards them, and even let him die in apology. Life and honor have different weights in their hearts.
Therefore, after the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), I can feel my father's intention to suppress Li Fangyuan's power and eliminate the threat to my young son. Confiscating private soldiers and sending them to the Ming Dynasty, my father made such a decision even though he knew that he had a narrow escape. When he left, Li Fangyuan gave his father a big gift, which was a very decisive gesture and touching. Father kills two birds with one stone, one is to solve diplomatic problems, and the other is to weaken Li Fangyuan's influence until the prince grows up. Although Li Fangyuan knew what his father thought, he decided to go home.
Although Li Fangyuan played an important role in helping his father become king, he saved his father and his family's lives many times, but he didn't get the recognition his father deserved. This is fatal to any child who tries to get praise from his father. Father is very contradictory. He cherishes every one of his children. Even when Li Fangyuan was in prison, he almost did something for him. But in the end, he still couldn't convince himself to accept a child he couldn't control. Finally, Li Fangyuan planned the "Prince Rebellion" twice, and finally reached the peak of power. He killed his teacher and prince, and his father scolded him: pigs and dogs are not as good as dogs.
After Li Fangyuan ascended the throne, in order to take care of his father's illness, he found precious herbs and gave them to his father. Every time, his father killed the people he sent. It is impossible to guess whether Li Fangyuan's actions are sincere or just to save his own image. However, the relationship between father and son broke down here, because the desire for power is like a worm in their hearts. In each other's fate, they live and endure each other. The son is full of ambition, and the father hopes that he can't display it and lead them step by step to the abyss.
Li Fangyuan and courtier Hong Renbang.
There are drama reviews, which are actually cultivated by Hong Renbang and Zheng. They taught him the fragility, ugliness and nobility of human nature respectively, and made him more decisive and realistic. Hong Renbang played an important role in the growth of Li Fangyuan. As Hong Renbang said, Li Fangyuan is very similar to him. But Li Fangyuan didn't want to be like him.
Hong Renbang was a successful courtier representative. Before becoming a power center, he was also a Confucian scholar who read the way of sages, honest and weak. It is no different from most Confucian scholars who dream of governing the country. But later, he was captured in a coup and soon died of torture, which completely changed him. With the help of Li's strength and ignorance, he quickly and crazily accumulated his own strength and reached the status of a three-person gang in a short time. The crazy desire for power is just a whitewash of his weakness.
Hong Renbang said to Li Fangyuan: You can't stand your incompetence. Li Fangyuan said: No! I can't stand not having a dream. Hong Renbang's thorough understanding of Li Fangyuan stems from their beliefs, and they all worship the power of power. Unfortunately, however, they belong to two battalions. Hong Renbang will die if he goes against the will of the people. Li Fangyuan is popular and prosperous.
Teacher he Zheng
Zheng is a very important main line of the whole play. He is a key figure to unite the Six Dragons, and a rare talent with ideal and strength. In the change of Changping Gate, he was supported by thousands of Confucian scholars in Qian Qian. His generous speech and Kubinashi's chorus were extremely inflammatory. As the lyrics say, politics is like a sword. It stung everyone who suffered from tyranny. They shouted with Zheng, this is a very ideal moment, and it is this moment that shocked young hearts. It is no exaggeration to say that Zheng is a life mentor. It was he who lit the torch of hope in his heart and let him see that a single spark can start a prairie fire. Even after he had second thoughts, he still clearly understood that the world described by Zheng He was still so wonderful, and they just could not choose to miraculously go to different roads.
As an outstanding politician, Zheng has the ambition to help the world, and also has the strategy of strategizing. He made a comprehensive plan for the coup, which was consistent with his career as an official. Unlike newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, Zheng has a very clear understanding of the situation. He knows that any wrong decision, even an uncontrollable change, may make the great cause beyond redemption. This is the contradiction between him and Li Fangyuan. The appearance and existence of "Zheng" has caused a lot of uncertainty to the great cause, and such uncertainty makes Zheng very taboo. Therefore, although he saved them from many disasters along the way with his intelligence, Zheng once thought that such outstanding talents could be entrusted with important tasks in new Korea. But after killing Zheng Mengzhou, Zheng gave up completely. Because of the new Korea established in Zheng, it is impossible for a king's willfulness to control the country, which has plunged the newly established dynasty into turmoil again.
After the founding of new Korea, its influence was greatly suppressed. Zheng finally took the position of one person and ten thousand people and mastered the power of personnel, army and finance, which can be said to be the power of the ruling and opposition parties. In fact, after he has so much power, there is no other power to check and balance. Ironically, he has also become the person in his mouth who may shake the country because of his personal preference. Perhaps this may be a constitutional monarchy that has not yet taken shape in the design. The king's power is limited, but there is no other force to restrict Zheng. He mobilized the people's power to carry out land reform, but when he burned Iraq and asked him for land, it seemed that he was burning down the bridge, which was inconsistent. In this way, Zheng, the most capable and character person in the whole drama, is not so perfect, because it is not perfect, so it is true. Both he and Li Fangyuan are dedicated to the people, but in the end they are tit for tat, both for the supreme power.
Zheng finally died by the sword, which declared the end of the contest. Zheng finally said "I'm tired", which seems to acquiesce in the situation that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves before. Originally, their political ideals were the same, but fate made them stand in the two camps of life and death. He killed his teacher Zheng without hesitation. Although at that time, in their past memories, Li Fangyuan's heart was very painful. But this time, like all his previous decisions, he didn't hesitate at all. He personally killed the boy in his heart. Water under the bridge. There is no turning back.
Li Fangyuan and Confucian Zheng Mengzhou
Although Zheng Mengzhou did not appear in many scenes, Zheng Mengzhou's death was a turning point in Li Fangyuan's fate. Zheng Mengzhou was the last loyal minister of the Koryo dynasty and a martyr who defended a dynasty with his life. From the moral level of Confucianism, he is loyal and sincere. But he is fettered by honor and seems to be a man who hinders the development of history. Li Fangyuan once said to Zheng Mengzhou: "History only depends on how future generations talk about it. In my heart, there are only people who set foot on this land with me, breathing and gnashing their teeth. " However, Zheng Mengzhou is just the opposite. He despises Li Fangyuan and works for the interests of the people, but in fact he is seeking his own hegemony. Such a fierce collision of values makes it difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong. But what is certain is that the moment when Li Fangyuan killed Zheng Mengzhou, it was the time when people around him began to stay away from him.
The following classic dialogue is unforgettable.
There is a heated discussion about whether Li Fangyuan should kill Zheng Mengzhou. Most people are on Li Fangyuan's side, thinking that it is forced by the situation. In order to survive and achieve great things, he did what Zheng dared not do. Some netizens also gave an example: five people suddenly appeared in front of the train tracks. You're the conductor. If the train changes lanes to avoid them, it will kill 1 pedestrian beside the tracks. Change lanes or not? Some people say that changing lanes 1 saving 5 is cost-effective; Some people say that you can't change lanes and hit five because you don't obey the rules. If faced with such a situation, it is impossible to have the most upright choice. Zheng would rather fail than be humiliated. Although Li Fangyuan saved the great cause, his reputation has been lost, and the stigma of future generations and the betrayal of all people are the price that must be borne. In this way, we can only pray that life will not be so difficult, but if it does happen, we can only listen to our inner guidance.
Li Fangyuan and her lover burned Iraq.
As a historical drama, love is not the main line of this drama. Although there is not much pen and ink, it is remarkable. Burning Iraq is the representative of the poor, who are trapped at the bottom of society and struggle for survival. Her dramatic meeting with Li Fangyuan made Li Fangyuan fall in love with the woman who set fire to the government granary. Perhaps only Li Fangyuan would think that "this is so romantic". In troubled times, they hated evil and fought for the ideal of * * * under the guidance of Zheng. Because of class differences, although we know each other and love each other, we can't be together in the end. However, if all this comes down to class differences, it would be as vulgar as burning Iraq's excuse of rejecting Li Fangyuan's "unwillingness to be a concubine". Class disparity is the initial reason, and the most important thing is that they just plan their lives with their own values, just like two parallel lines. Both sides didn't want to give up everything to get close, so they could only look at each other but not intersect. Behind the burning Iraq are Pancun people who are looking forward to her. She can't live up to their ardent expectations and live alone. Finally, Li Fangyuan also refused to commit to burning Iraq, so he gave up the deal and chose to let go. Everyone has his own mission and people who need to be guarded. So although there are regrets, this is a reasonable setting.
All shall be well that ends well, till death do us part. Li Fangyuan said: I hope he knows where the burning Iraq is and lives with a smile. The last meeting before death was also shown at the end of the film under incomparable arrangements. T-shirt asked: Was the attack on the Japanese-occupied Falklands aimed at burning Iraq? Li Fangyuan replied: Do you think I will still have this romance?
Yes, in the power struggle, Li Fangyuan has been riddled with holes. He is no longer the beautiful teenager when he first saw burning Iraq. He seems to have everything, but burning Iraq is someone he can't catch. It's his life.
Li Fangyuan and his wife Min Duojing.
Li Fangyuan's wife Min Duojing, and later Queen jing yuan, made people feel different when they appeared. Some people even described her as "gone with the wind", dignified and generous, intelligent and decisive. She and the Haidong family behind her are the strong backing of political change in Li Fangyuan. If it is not in the TV setting, there is a fictional existence of burning Iraq as the first love. She and Li Fangyuan should also be a beautiful couple.
In order to get rid of the shackles of Hong Renbang, she reached a political marriage with Li Fangyuan at the expense of honor. Then, when Li Chenggui was almost defeated, she told her father that if she failed, my daughter would sever the father-daughter relationship with her father to preserve the existence of the Jiazu in Haidong. This courage is somewhat similar to that of Li Fangyuan. They also reached a high degree of harmony in their later lives. She is the only one who affirmed Li Fangyuan in Li Fangyuan's Betrayal. On the eve of the coup in Li Fangyuan, she said to him, "No matter what, I don't regret it." . These decisive intentions can be called heroes among women.
But just as everything is round, after Li Fangyuan became king, he began to suppress the Jiazu forces in Haidong. I don't know whether I am afraid of the strength of my consorts or whether I suspect that they are playing tricks on the issue of choosing successors. He and Min Duojing's third son, Li Mao, were gifted, but told him that he could no longer study. How can you work harder than the prince? Li Mao said that people should at least do something when they are alive. Maybe it's too much like my old self. Although he knew it might be another bloody case, he was unable to refute his son. Li Fangyuan finally abolished the prince, leaving Li Mei to inherit the great cause.
Historically, Li Fangyuan and Min Duojing had a very good relationship. When Min Duojing died, Li Fangyuan was very sad. He went on a hunger strike for several days, as if his soul had gone with her.
Li Fangyuan and the chief of the guard battalion.
Ying Kui, the flower protector, not only accompanied Li Fangyuan's growth, but also defended his dream with his life. He used his life to protect the armory hidden in Li Fangyuan, and finally persisted until the day of the coup in Li Fangyuan. Before leaving, Ying Kui said the last sentence, which turned out to be "closing the door". Ying Kui is undoubtedly the most loyal person to Li Fangyuan. He never doubted the young master's decision, but silently guarded him. After Ingui's death, Li Fangyuan took the executioner's sword and killed his teacher and brother, although he didn't have to do it himself, so the samurai could do it. But he is afraid that if he lets those heartless people do it, they will leave him. Because he stood firmly behind him, Ingguge, who killed Zheng Mengzhou for him, was gone.
Upon learning of Ying Kui's death, Li Fangyuan cried one after another: "Brother", which made me deeply feel that, in fact, in Li Fangyuan's heart, Ying Kui was the real relative, but this relative left him forever, and he could only drag this body and walk the rest of the road silently.
postscript
8000+ words can be said to be the longest essay I have written so far. Although the space is long, I have never hesitated. Because I finally realized my wish for several months. In the past few months, I have resisted every impulse to "write a book". Those words have been in my mind for a long time, inspiring me to finish it on such a quiet night.
I don't agree with the pessimist's argument that fate is doomed. I think that what really guides us to our destination should be the surrounding environment where we live, the value orientation we uphold, our mental level, our every casual choice, the road we have traveled, the people we have met and the things we have done, all of which make us move in that direction impartially. At the same time accept people we like or even don't like. Although many times we are willing to believe that there are many roads ahead, people's hearts always make us make biased choices. So the reality is that there is often only one way. Many people had hoped that a certain moment or a certain choice in life could be repeated, but under the premise that other variables remain unchanged, most people will still make the same choice as before.
There seems to be many choices in his life, or, like his brother Li, he kept his reason, chose the golden mean and quit the power struggle. But we can't measure our life by Li's values. Li Fangyuan's repeated loss and return during this period is the only choice that accords with his nature. In Li Fangyuan's worldview, if he doesn't choose a coup, he has no way out. In the shaping of screenwriters, it seems that they can also feel the same. Li Fangyuan said that people have to do something all their lives. Why are other people's ambitions ideal and mine ideal? We can tell him clearly: "This is because of the position you stand, and you choose the person who opposes it." But knowing this, will he change his choice? No. How can he put up with his mediocre self? Taking away his will may be worse than taking away his life. Therefore, there is only one road in front of him, although this road will lead him to endless loneliness.
Laozi explained the profound meaning that a strong army must be destroyed and a strong wood must be folded in the Tao Te Ching. In the process of pursuing the ultimate, I don't know which day will be the first to be broken. Therefore, people began to weigh and choose. It is to save oneself by inaction and seek the stability of life; Still persevere, there are gains and losses. Choose a moment of youth or a long stream of water. Some people say that some things can't be done without perfection. Admittedly, this view is correct, just as Li Fangyuan is more suitable to be emperor than his father Li Chenggui. But the cost of Li Fangyuan is beyond the affordability of most people. For Li Fangyuan, who is not sensitive to ethics, he may do it after he has done it, and he will do it after he regrets it for ten thousand times. But if we think what he did is right, then we are naive.
As mentioned above, our destiny is actually influenced by many factors. In addition, everyone is not an island, and fate is intertwined. It affects the whole body, so it has made this huge system of society. Affirming the complexity of human nature is the premise of evaluating a person. Right and wrong, good and evil are not completely opposite. Just because Li Fangyuan killed Zheng Mengzhou doesn't mean that Li Fangyuan is evil, but Zheng Mengzhou is kind. Zheng Mengzhou hindered the development of history, which does not mean that Zheng Mengzhou is evil and Li Fangyuan is good. They just made the most timely choice for themselves in value orientation. Of course, they also paid a price for their choice. When we no longer simply oppose right and wrong, good and evil, but turn to understand the fundamental relationship between the development of things, we can have real growth.
In this way, education is a simple and complicated project. If we only aim at the growth of GDP and income, everyone will strive to become the screw of this huge machine of society and maximize human well-being. The education direction is clear and relatively easy. If we want to fully consider individual differences, let everyone become a better self; Let individuals realize themselves and be used by society at the same time; The spirit you believe in can stand the test of time. Education is very complicated. As the saying goes, it takes ten years to plant trees and a hundred years to cultivate people.
In recent months, with the company of OST, I unconsciously feel that my steps have become more brisk. This may be the appeal of works of art. From other people's lives, I have learned the power of courage and determination, and I will not look back. I imagined too many future scenes and was bound by other people's words, fearing that I was not mature enough and would attract criticism from others. But why should we envy this exquisite sophistication? All of us are expected to have a bull's-eye life, and one day, we will all achieve it. But before that, I hope that life can be as upright as an arrow flying in the sky.
After writing it, I remembered that when I was watching the play, I occasionally trembled with excitement. I think I'm really in the play. Finally, I can have such freedom to express my feelings as soon as possible. It's almost four o'clock in the morning. I think if I don't have a job tomorrow, I may write till dawn. This seems to be the willfulness of youth. It is a comfort to have such a sober exception in countless nights when you are exhausted and fall asleep soundly.
At this point, the body is lying, the sun, the moon and the stars are still spinning overhead, and I don't know where my thoughts can drift in my dreams. But I know that after tonight, this article can be buried.
