Yellow sand rolls, horses neigh and geese chirping. Zhaojun bid farewell to his hometown, heading north, and seeing the scene, it was already at the junction of the two countries.
Looking back, my hometown will only appear in dreams from now on.
The sad and pleasant sound of the piano, the bright and charming woman, made the geese forget to wave their wings after hearing the piano and seeing the woman's bright face, and fell on the plain sand one after another. The name of "falling geese" spread from this.
In the biography written by later generations, Wang Zhaojun not only has the beauty of "sinking fish and falling geese", but also has a tough and kind character. After marrying from the Xiongnu royal court far away from the frontier, she personally took the people of Xiongnu to collect herbs to save refugees. With her persistence and kindness, she won the respect and love of the people. It can be said that Zhaojun brought 60 years of peace and prosperity to the people of the two countries, and also passed on the cultural civilization of the Central Plains to the Huns.
But until the last moment, she could not return to her long-lost hometown.
There are folk legends and records. After Wang Zhaojun entered the palace, she refused to bribe the palace painter, and the portrait was less than one-tenth of her beauty. Therefore, she was not noticed by the emperor and had to be regarded as a palace maid who was washing clothes. Perhaps, in the tent in a foreign land, Zhaojun's thoughts drifted back to his youth. When he was a palace maid in the Han Dynasty, washing silk and playing in the water by the river must be an unforgettable memory for a lifetime.
Perhaps, the nostalgia for my hometown adds a filter to my memories, and the girl’s brisk figure is an indelible homesick feeling. In ancient times, most literati and poets were infected by Wang Zhaojun's story, thus bringing this feeling into the pen: like the one written by Du Fu in his poem "Ode to the Ancient Sites: Mountains and Valleys Go to Jingmen" "Drawing pictures to see the spring breeze, and the moonlit soul is returned to the moonlit night. Thousands of years Pipa is used as Hu language, which clearly shows resentment in the song." There is also Li Bai 's "The Han moon still comes from the East Sea, and the Ming concubine has no future. The swallow branch grows cold snow and flowers, and the moth's eyebrows are haggard and there is no Hu sand."
Thousands of years have passed, and the image of Wang Zhaojun has long become a national symbol engraved in our memories and blood. Of course, in her story, what touches people is not only the courage to sacrifice for the country with righteousness, but also the pure homesickness that is vividly revealed on paper. This kind of thought also moistens things and penetrates silently into the hearts of every wanderer from afar.
" Honor of Kings " "The Voice of the Stars-Wang Zhaojun" also tells a story about a hometown and a wanderer with the theme of "singing travels through the stars and echoes in the hometown":
Wang Zhaojun was born on a slim planet and can hear and sing the melody of every star since he was a child. She is loved by the world for her natural singing and is invited to go far away. She went further and further, and became the most dazzling singer in the universe. But even when she arrived at the center of the stars gathered in the eternal land, she could not feel any moving melody or happiness.
She looked back silently, and the distant end was her mother star. The galaxy was silent, and at this moment, it seemed that some sound exploded in the singer's ears - that was the melody she had been looking for, and that belonged to her hometown since she was born.
Look carefully, the "Speaking of the Stars" skin uses the story context, legend and emotional beauty that has been passed down for thousands of years in "Zhaojun Going to the Frontier" as the entry point and design basis, and then adds high concept elements of electronic music and the universe, combining tradition and modernity to create a different charm.
From the perspective of modeling, the "Speaking of the Stars" skin moved the performance stage to the universe. The skin background is the boundless starry sky, bringing a deep and vast beauty; the main tone of the skin is white and pink, and Wang Zhaojun's long hair uses a gradient color design, highlighting the vibrant character setting of "Singer"; the clothes are silver-white leather skirts, which present Zhaojun's pure and clean character from the perspective of color, with a fairy spirit that is lingering and beautiful.
The two long dark blue skirts behind the back and the blue diamond pattern dotted on the lower edge of the clothes also make the skin more lively; the original weapon staff in the hand was transformed into a microphone with a very futuristic style, full of modern fashion.
In actual games, the skin special effects of the Sound of Stars are more refined than imagined, and they are very compatible with Wang Zhaojun. Music and starry sky elements can also be fully integrated into it, presenting a visual ultimate experience.
is like a star-orbit shield composed of a passive skill, which is surrounded by a satellite like a satellite; and when the shield is broken, the sound waves spread like ripples.
and the third skill, Winter has arrived, the most amazing effect in the game. When the skill is released, a phantom like a cosmic singer appears in the entire star dome, and the entire galaxy turns into a stage, and the sound waves fall like meteors and the stars sound together, almost truly restoring a beautiful cosmic singer in the game.
In addition to the skin, "Glory of Kings" also produced the theme song of the same name of "The Voice of the Stars", the beautiful musical melody in the video song, the melodious and gentle singing, and Wang Zhaojun standing in the light blue aurora and looking at the dazzling stars in the distance, also made me immersed in this world full of beautiful stars.
We always say that people use characters in memory in video games, and it is easy to remember the stories that once touched you while fighting fiercely. If bringing "Wang Zhaojun" from books into electronic games is a cultural heritage, then the design of the skin of "Honor of Kings" this time is a continuation of this inheritance.
In the ancient history, Wang Zhaojun went to Western Regions and never returned home in his life. In her eyes, hometown may be just an untouchable other side and a dream that can be skimmed down; but in "Glory of Kings", I think this beautiful regret can be made up, just as described in the game theme song:
"Like the light in the dark, holding me every courage every time; letting me fly, embracing my wounds, saying that the world has a gentle echo."
May everyone find the gentle echo of the soul that belongs to them.
