"The shoes are broken, the hat is broken, the robes on your body are broken. You laugh at me, he laughs at me, and a fan is broken."
I believe that as long as the prelude of this song sounds, many viewers will think of the 1985 TV series " Jigong ", and the actor of Jigong You Benchang . The TV series "Jigong" series is much shabby. According to historical records, Jigong is indeed a man. He is an eminent monk who lived in the Southern Song Dynasty in my country. He not only has profound Buddhism, but also has excellent medical skills. He often upholds injustice, saves dangers and poverty, eliminates violence and safeguards the good. Therefore, in the minds of the Chinese people, has since moved towards liberation. Jigong represented the Buddha's Dharma and the salvation of compassion for them. Only under his teaching did they slowly change and stop the vicious cycle. In other words, we ordinary people can only achieve liberation under the guidance of the master if we rely on the Buddha's Dharma.
Great Bodhisattvas like Jigong are also improving themselves. When he came down from heaven, other Bodhisattvas came to help, that is, saving sentient beings requires the help of all Buddhas and children to help each other and achieve Buddhahood together. In this, Jigong did not see practices such as meditation, practice Dharma, and chanting scriptures, but his golden body was in the Vajra Statue, and he was completely compassionate, selfless, and could sacrifice himself for insignificant sentient beings. This shows that he has achieved practices such as practice Dharma, meditation and meditation in his past lives. The process of liberation has been passed, and the bodhicitta has been achieved. Jigong is the embodiment of justice.
Over the past thousand years, after the folk people further shaped the character and legend of Jigong and his story, Jigong has further added many unique tags: powerful magic, humor, wisdom, ragged clothes, crazy behavior, and occasionally some harmless mistakes. Therefore, many costumes, props, scenes and scenes in the play, maintains the fairness and kindness of the world, and uses his words and deeds to awaken the human nature and conscience in people’s hearts! A long time ago, I remembered the saying: Even if a person does good, even if the blessing has not arrived, the disaster has been gone; if a person does evil, even if the disaster has not arrived, the blessing has been gone. This sentence was also the answer from Jigong who asked him in a poor and kind old man: "Why do some people do all their bad things but still have thousands of acres of good land and wealth, while some people have been doing good things all their lives but have to endure poverty and hunger?"
I always keep this sentence in mind, do everything with my heart, treat everyone with my heart is far from comparable to the four classic TV series. However, why do we still praise this drama today? It is because Teacher You Benchang’s superb interpretation has helped to lift the drama up.
In the "Jigong" series of TV series, Teacher You Benchang presented his acting skills that are of textbook level to the audience.
This TV series, which was broadcast 36 years ago, not only made Teacher You Benchang, 52, famous all over the country and became a recognized "living Jigong" in the hearts of the audience; it also greatly reduced the crime rate in our country for a period of time.
Like Jigong, who punishes evil and promotes good in the TV series, the real life story of Mr. Benchang outside the play is also admirable and respectful. According to legend, Jigong was a crazy monk, so You Benchang played the crazy monk in a real way. Whether it is Jigong's style of conduct, his way of speaking or his eye contact, he is a passionate interpretation. This also reflects that Mr. You Benchang's acting skills are very impressive. From the perspective of production level, the plot of this TV series and the acting skills of each actor on the TV are really outstanding.
