The propaganda role of movies and the dissemination of social values are obvious to all, but in fact, is this not the case for drama?
There are now many theater touring teams in the South, which bring many historical events to the stage. Of course, the main ideas promoted are loyalty, bravery, etc.
Li Xingchen also played a role in this. He also helped write many scripts, such as restoring some familiar stories from the Three Kingdoms period.
Firstly, it is because Li Xingchen, as a later generation, is really familiar with the story of the Three Kingdoms. In this era, his understanding of what happened three hundred years ago is actually limited to "Three Kingdoms". After all, there is no adaptation by Mr. Luo.
Secondly, the story of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has an obvious bias. Who is it biased towards? Shu Han.
Who is Li Xingchen now? The emperor of the Han Dynasty, he claimed to continue the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, it is not a bad thing to persuade people to be loyal to that Han by publicizing the story of loyalty to that Han.
Therefore, the story of Guan Gong riding a thousand miles alone, and Zhao Zilong's journey to seven places on the Changban Slope have been put on the stage. The same is true of the Battle of Kunyang in the late Western Han Dynasty, and the deeds of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing during the Emperor Wu period, etc.
These stories may not seem unusual, but in this era when most people are illiterate, reading and writing have always been the privilege of a few people. It was not until Li Xingchen became the emperor of the Han Dynasty that all this changed, but even so
, there are many things in history that are in the history textbooks of later generations, and are even familiar to later generations. In fact, not many people in this era know about them. After all, not everyone has a history book at home, and even if they do, not everyone can read it.
Understand or feel in the mood to see it.
Survival in troubled times is the most important thing.
Now Li Xinchen is using drama to interpret things that have been described in two or three sentences in the history books. Firstly, there is less mention in the history books, so there is more room for Li Xinchen and the Ministry of Rites to adapt. Secondly, Li Xinchen can also make tendentious adaptations.
These plays undoubtedly express a central idea, that if you are loyal to the Han, you will have a good life. When foreign enemies invade, you must follow the banner of the Han and bravely take up arms.
In troubled times, people have been displaced. In fact, many people have lost their attachment to their hometown. Now it is natural to restore this awareness. Above our heads are the big men who protect us and give us a good life, and below our feet are the inheritance passed down by our ancestors from generation to generation.
The land given to us follows in the footsteps of the great Han, and we will not give an inch of this land to others.
In the battlefield of propaganda and public opinion, although the Northern Zhou Dynasty on the opposite side was not the opponent of the Han Dynasty at all, not even in the same order of magnitude, Li Xingchen could no longer take it lightly. After all, this thing is a double-edged sword. It can have miraculous effects if used well, but it can have miraculous effects if used properly.
It's good but you may hurt yourself.
Li Xingchen walked out of the Taiji Hall in the main hall, walked through the cloister and walked to the Huiyin Hall in the harem.
The Luoyang Imperial Palace was originally divided into two palaces, the north and the south. They were renovated when Cao Wei moved the capital to Luoyang. Later, the Northern Wei Dynasty combined the two palaces into one, and abandoned some dilapidated palaces, making the current palace look more beautiful.
It is larger in scale, and because it has undergone several renovations, especially when the Northern Wei Dynasty was at its peak, it looks particularly gorgeous with its carved beams and painted buildings.
Even though the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty no longer made Luoyang their capital in the past few decades, the palace city has been covered with a layer of historical dust. But now that the dust is gently wiped away, one can still vaguely imagine the glory of the Northern Wei Dynasty in its heyday.
Li Xingchen was well aware of the many architects in the Northern Wei Dynasty. After all, this dynasty left treasures such as Yungang Grottoes, Longmen Grottoes, etc. to future generations. The development of architecture in this dynasty can be seen from the giant Buddha that has gone through many vicissitudes but is still majestic and solemn.
and exquisite.
The same is true for the Luoyang Palace that now appears in front of Li Xingchen.
Whether it is the Tai Chi Hall in the front palace on the high platform or the harem palaces in the back like stars holding the moon, they are indeed the crystallization of the wisdom and art of this era. If you randomly bring in any archaeologist or architect from later generations, I am afraid that
I can't help but be amazed.
In the history of Luoyang and even China, this city is not actually the best. There is the Afang Palace of the Qin Dynasty at the top, Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty and Luoyang, the sacred capital, at the bottom. Luoyang City of the Han and Wei Dynasties is just the middle.
It's just a little thing, but even so, Li Xingchen could feel the majesty of this city.
It is also the majesty of this nation.
Such a city reflects the strength of this nation. Even if it is filled with dust, China is still the strongest in the world and the top of the world.
Li Xingchen is deeply proud of it and is willing to help China stand on the top of the world for a longer time, overlooking other countries like a god overlooking all living beings.
The harem of the imperial palace also has many palaces. Hanguang Hall, Jiafu Hall, etc. are all considered as members of the harem collective, not to mention those large and small palaces and pavilions.
However, Yuan Lexhang is not stupid. As the only concubine who is with Li Xingchen and has a status, she will certainly not be stupid enough to live in the main halls of the harem. Even if Lechang is not here, this main hall will be vacant.
, Yuan Leshang is just a Shuyi and does not have this qualification.
Therefore, she chose the Huiyin Hall, which is closer to the Taiji Hall. As the name suggests, this is actually where the palace instruments were originally stored. Therefore, it is closer to the front hall where drums and music are often played. However, those instruments have basically disappeared because
In order to preserve musical instruments, the room is airy and moisture-free, so it is quite suitable for people to live in.
When Li Xingchen came over, Yuan Leshang was directing the guards to move the bed, wardrobe, etc.
Although there were people cleaning the palace, they were limited to sweeping the floors. The furniture had long been damaged or dismantled. I don't know if it was used to defend the city as wood and rolling stones, or if it was simply sold.
But of course this trivial matter was not difficult for the Ministry of Industry. A few craftsmen quickly ordered people to build the entire set of furniture required by His Majesty. As for the rest of the daily necessities, they were naturally simpler. There were many merchants accompanying the army.
These guys just hope to make a fortune by reselling daily necessities from the south to the north. Now that your majesty needs it, they will naturally send it to you as soon as possible.
Your Majesty has also used our brand, which is the best advertising slogan. They paid the money and hoped that Li Xinchen could use it.
Of course, Li Xingchen naturally accepted this, but the money he should give was a lot, and it was deducted from the inner government. By the way, he smiled and said that if it is not used well, it should be returned, and then I will smash the sign.
No matter.
The merchants were naturally quick to praise His Majesty for his kindness and generosity, but they secretly complained in their hearts, hoping that Your Majesty would not be too picky.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Li Xingchen looked around and asked with a smile.
