When art begins to discuss history, it is always easy to deviate from the true history. Especially when it comes to "re-creation", the deviation from history is even greater. So much so that sometimes it seems like they are simply distorting history and maliciously tampering with historical facts! Today we will talk about those historical figures whose images have been fixed in history, but after being "transformed" by literature and film and television creation, they turned into another image.
Ji Xiaolan’s reputation was blown out
The first historical figure of we want to talk about is Ji Xiaolan . In " Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan ", Ji Xiaolan outsmarts the corrupt official He Shen , and at the same time is very tactful and gets along well with Qianlong without losing his posture, which is in sharp contrast to the groveling He Shen. In the
TV series, Ji Xiaolan and He Shen's overt and covert struggles created many classic scenes. For example, when the two of them were having dinner, they discussed the topic "Is it a wolf or a dog?" It should still be impressive to many people.
Although the script writing of film and television works is relatively excellent and very interesting, objectively speaking, it is also very deviated from historical facts. In history, Ji Xiaolan was not as "awesome" as he was in the TV series. He was able to talk eloquently in front of Qianlong and Heshen. In fact, he was not worthy to participate in the conversation between these two people.
The real Ji Xiaolan, is not only a smoker, is also an old gangster, especially greedy for women.
Ji Xiaolan is a big smoker. She carries a cigarette pipe with her wherever she goes and smokes hard. It is said that in order to be able to smoke happily, Ji Xiaolan designed a large tobacco bag for herself, which could hold three or four cigarettes at a time. She could smoke it while walking for dozens of miles without finishing it. Also because Ji Xiaolan is an old smoker, he was nicknamed "the big smoker".
Ji Xiaolan is also well-known for his lustful nature. It is said that he "has many women every day" and "still lustful as ever". There is a story that reflects some of this. At that time, Qianlong wanted to compile the masterpiece " Siku Quanshu ", and Ji Xiaolan was the appointed chief editor and the main force in writing it properly. For such an important matter, Ji Xiaolan naturally had to work hard and work on it day and night.
Because he was too serious, the lustful Ji Xiaolan had not been close to a woman for a long time, and as a result, his whole person changed. His eyes were as red as fire, and his whole face seemed to have been scalded with boiling water. Seeing this, Qianlong quickly rewarded two beautiful palace ladies to let Ji Xiaolan calm down.
Ji Xiaolan is a lustful woman and has married many wives. She has married more than 20 wives in her life, and there is even one who is 37 years younger than him, almost spanning two generations. Ji Xiaolan like
is indeed talented, but compared with the image created in the TV series, it is not even the slightest bit different.
Is Qianlong really a wise king?
The second thing we want to talk about is Emperor Qianlong . In "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan", Emperor Qianlong and Ji Xiaolan were talking and laughing, and seemed particularly approachable. In more movies and TV dramas, Emperor Qianlong always has a positive imagination. For example, he often goes on private patrols in private and is considerate of the people; another example is that he is able to make good use of others and has the talent to govern the world .
But the real Qianlong in history is not a wise emperor, but a complex and tyrannical emperor . First of all, he did achieve a lot of achievements. and in the Qing Dynasty reached a prosperous period during his reign, but many of these came from the blessings of the previous two generations.
Qianlong himself did many wrong things. For example, is a major text prison of , , and is closed to the country. This paved the way for the Qing Dynasty to be blasted open by foreign guns and artillery. At the same time, Qianlong himself was still an emperor who liked flattery and was extravagant. It is precisely because of his connivance that He Shen was able to steal the people's wealth and support and became a corrupt official, and the people suffered deeply. It was precisely because of his squandering that he went to the south of the Yangtze River three times, which caused the treasury to be empty and became increasingly weak later.
It can be seen that Qianlong is still far from Mingjun .
What kind of woman is Pan Jinlian?
The third thing we want to talk about is Pan Jinlian.In " Water Margin ", although Pan Jinlian is a pitiful person, he is very hateful. She is pitiful because she originally worked well as a maid in a wealthy family, but because of her outstanding appearance, she was harassed by her master's family. Pan Jinlian couldn't bear the insult and complained to the host's wife. As a result, she was sold to Wu Dalang and became the daughter-in-law of a short, ugly man.
Pan Jinlian's image in Water Margin is described in this way: her eyebrows are like willow leaves in early spring, often filled with sadness about rain and clouds; her face is like peach blossoms in March, hiding the charm of the moon. The slender waist is graceful, and the restrained swallow is lazy; the sandalwood mouth is light, and the seduction is crazy. The enchanting appearance of the jade is interpreted by the flowers, and the graceful appearance of the jade is fragrant. As for Wu Dalang, needless to say, his image is really shabby. A beautiful woman was forced to marry a short man. Objectively speaking, she is indeed quite pitiful .
But considering Pan Jinlian’s subsequent behavior, it was not only pitiful, but also extremely hateful!
Although Wu Dalang has a bad image, he is honest and honest, which is good for Pan Jinlian. However, Pan Jinlian had a very high self-esteem and always looked down upon Wu Dalang. She beat, scolded and scolded him at every turn, but did nothing about his wife's affairs. Later, Wu Song visited his brother, and Pan Jinlian tempted Wu Song again, which made Wu Song unhappy.
failed to hook up with Wu Song, and Pan Jinlian hooked up with Ximen Qing. In order to be with Ximen Qing, also poisoned Wu Dalang to death, which is simply the best representative of "the most poisonous woman's heart". Later, although Wu Song avenged Wu Dalang, Pan Jinlian's bad reputation has been passed down through the ages and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
However, today, some film and television dramas appear from time to time and begin to beautify Pan Jinlian's image. describes its temptation to Ximen Qing as chasing his own love and breaking the shackles of the times . This is a bit disrespectful to teacher Shi Naian . I want to whitewash Pan Jinlian based on "Water Margin". How is this possible?
However, what is less known is that if it is based on real history, Pan Jinlian can be completely cleared. Pan Jinlian in history was actually the daughter of the governor of a wealthy family. And Wu Zhi Wu Dalang is not a dwarf. On the contrary, according to the records in Wu Zhi's tomb, he was 1.8 meters tall and became the county magistrate through his own efforts. Today he is a tall, rich and handsome . Not only are the two well-matched, but they are also very harmonious in their marriage and have four children. It's very different from "Water Margin".
Therefore, Pan Jinlian is also unlucky enough. She has been scolded for thousands of years for not doing anything. The same is true for Wu Dalang. He appeared to be a talented and successful man, but he became a turtle man in the eyes of future generations.
Empress Dowager Cixi and all have to be whitewashed?
The fourth thing I want to talk about is Empress Dowager Cixi. Speaking of this historical figure, almost everyone knows it, knows it, and hates it. Objectively speaking, the Empress Dowager Cixi was a true traitor. In order to maintain her rule, she acted according to the prevailing circumstances, harmed loyal people, knelt down to the invaders, and signed many unequal treaties. During her time in power, the Sino-Japanese War was defeated, the Reform Movement of 1898 failed, the Boxers were massacred, and the Beiyang warlords rose to power, leaving their legacy for decades.
It can be said that Cixi is the first sinner in modern history.
If we really want to clear her name, there is only one way, which is to thank her for her "efforts" and allow the Qing government to end its dark rule earlier.
But for such a person, there are now quite a number of TV series trying to "improve" her image. In these TV series, everything Cixi did was out of necessity, and she even made a lot of efforts for the country .
Isn’t this nonsense?
This reminds us of the classic saying: Adaptation is not random editing, and drama is not nonsense. Art creators also need to have a bottom line!
Conclusion
When modern people interpret and adapt history, they will inevitably deviate from historical facts. The key point is how we grasp that "degree".
