Chapter 177: I have died in a hundred battles for the country in this life, and I should also give me the power of Tang!
If it is a theater movie, if it is a movie that sells tickets, then there may be spoilers and comments that may be interpreted, which will have some negative impact on the film.
But "The Last Transfer of Money in Tang Dynasty Mobei" is not a theatrical movie.
It’s an advertising micro-movie!
In fact, if you don't understand that period of history and watch "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty", many people may just feel that the last scene, when the city is full of white-haired soldiers, will be emotional.
But if you really understand some of the forgotten history in it, then watching this short film will definitely make you feel more deeply.
Therefore, Li Yi naturally hopes that Chang Yanming, a top student in the history department of Beijing Normal University, will give a detailed interpretation of this short film.
Because this can allow some people to understand more about this period of history, and they will definitely gain more when they watch the short film again.
The feeling will be completely different!
Chang Yanming seemed a little uneasy after Li Yi agreed.
Because he is worried that his writing is not good enough!
Regarding this period of history, it can be said that not even Li Yi understands it as well as Chang Yanming!
Therefore, Chang Yanming thought for a long time before starting to write this interpretation of the film review.
"I want to say that when we think of the Tang Dynasty, perhaps the first thing that everyone thinks of is that prosperous era. To describe it in one word, it will be powerful!
For this reason, few people seem to mention that tragic historical song.
Because that is not the Tang Dynasty in their minds.
Many film and television works about the Tang Dynasty also depict the bustling and prosperous Tang Dynasty, when all nations came to the dynasty, surrendered from all directions.
Even if it's like "The An-Shi Rebellion", in the end it was the Tang Dynasty's army that once again decided the world!
But few people have set their sights on the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty.
I didn’t know there was a lone army there.
Little did they know that they had been cut off from Chang'an by the enemy and were left alone in the Western Regions without a single soldier to come to their aid. Even when the Tang Dynasty had forgotten about them, they still swore to the death to defend their territorial sovereignty and the glory of the Tang Dynasty, and fought fiercely with the enemy.
Nearly half a century.
In the end, the entire army was annihilated.
They are the Anxi Army.
"The Last Transfer of Money in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty" is the last Anxi Army in Xizhou City!
When writing the copy for the poster, it was written: "To the east is Chang'an, to the west is the Tang Dynasty, and forward is dignity."
Many people may not understand why it is written like this?
Because looking to the east is Chang'an, looking to the west is Tang Tu, and the enemy is in the middle. This was the situation of the Anxi Army at that time.
In 781 AD, the second year of Jianzhong, the secret envoy of the Western Regions contacted Chang'an. Only then did the Manchu civil and military officials know that the Western Regions had not been lost, and the soldiers were still guarding the borders of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone who heard this was moved to tears.
The story of this film takes place 9 years later, in 790 AD, when Khotan, one of the four towns in Anxi, fell. The remaining soldiers escaped from the city and became refugees. At this time, only Kucha and Xizhou were left in the Western Region. p>
The transportation of military expenses takes place between these two cities.
In 791 AD, Xizhou fell. The title of the film is "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty", which means this.
Because, after this, Xizhou fell! Naturally, there is no need to transport military expenditures anymore!
In the film, when Tang soldiers and refugees reminisce, they mention the 11th year of Jianzhong. This is not a mistake. There is indeed no era name for the 11th year of Jianzhong in the history of the Tang Dynasty. The era name of Jianzhong only existed for four years. That year was actually
It was the sixth year of Zhenyuan.
In "The Peach Blossom Spring" written by Tao Yuanming, people from Wuling mistakenly enter the Peach Blossom Spring. The people living there are isolated from the world, just like a paradise, "I don't know what time it is now", which makes people envious when reading it.
However, when placed in the words of Anxi Bing, "Counting now, it should be the eleventh year since the founding of the People's Republic of China", it sounds depressing. The soldiers at the frontier have been besieged by the enemy for decades, and they care about the Central Plains, but they don't know that their homeland has changed. p>
Let’s talk about the coins in the film. They were the military expenses of the Anxi Army to resist the enemy at that time. They were a symbol of national sovereignty and the confidence of the soldiers and civilians in the Western Regions.
At that time, the Anxi Army was alone in the Western Regions, without the troops and supplies from the Central Plains, so it had no choice but to save itself. Therefore, in order to raise military expenses, Guo Xin, the leader of the Anxi Army, minted his own coins, so it was engraved with "The Founding of the Tang Dynasty".
We all know that ancient coins are usually cast with words such as "country name - era name" plus "Tongbao", but Jianzhong of the Tang Dynasty is an exception. It is the only coin in the history of China that has the country name plus the era name.
Coins.
The reason for doing this is to boost the morale of the army and the people: now is the Jianzhong period of the Tang Dynasty, the money of the Tang Dynasty is still circulating here, this is still the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and we are still the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, the Anxi soldier in the film must complete the transfer mission at all costs even if his entire army is wiped out. For him, this is not only money, but also a weapon to resist the enemy.
When the refugees handed the money to the gray-haired General Guo and walked out of the camp, the soldiers outside the tent took off their helmets to pay tribute. They were all veterans with white hair and beards.
A lonely city thousands of miles away is full of white-haired soldiers!
Finally, when the refugees walked out of the camp and couldn't help but sing the Tang Dynasty's military song "The Army Marches", "The bright moon of the Qin Dynasty passed through the Han Dynasty, and the people of the long march of thousands of miles have not yet returned", they saw a group of young soldiers who were also singing "The Army March".
They lined up neatly, holding torches high and walking under the starry sky.
In fact, this is not reinforcements, but the refugees remembering themselves when they were younger.
After fighting the enemy for forty years, the boy's hair has turned gray.
This group of Anxi troops, isolated in the Western Region, never waited for reinforcements. In 808 AD, Tufan mobilized the whole country to attack Qiuci. After resisting the enemy for 43 years, all the soldiers of the Anxi army died for their country.
No one can know the fate of the old and iron-blooded prince Guo Xin at the moment when the Tubo army pressed on, and the fate of the soldiers who had fought all their lives on the battlefield. What is certain is that they wrote legends with their blood and injected life into them.
This land.
Just like what was said at the end of the film, what turned the clanging boy into a gray-haired veteran? Why do a few bags of copper coins need to be guarded with life? All the answers are in the military songs, floating in the desert and starry sky. That is
Because the Chinese people have never changed their belief in the mission.
A lonely city thousands of miles away, full of white-haired soldiers.
When a young man joins the army to conquer the Western Regions, it is difficult for him to return to his hometown in his sixties;
Suddenly I heard that war broke out in my family, and only half of the Tang Dynasty was left, so I should protect the country from foreign invaders;
Even though I cannot return to my homeland, I will die in hundreds of battles for my country in this life, and I should spread the power of the Tang Dynasty!
What a tragedy, my Datang Dynasty! How magnificent, my Datang Dynasty!"
After writing this film review, Chang Yanming had tears streaming down his face. He closed his eyes and felt as if he had dreamed back to the golden age of the Tang Dynasty. He also seemed to see the white-haired soldiers all over the city, fighting to the last soldier, and the entire army dying heroically for their country. This movie review is recommended by Penguin!
Many netizens came back to watch the video after watching it!
"After reading the interpretation of the film review, I rewatched the film again and burst into tears at the end!"
"In the Tang Dynasty, there were white-haired soldiers in isolated cities thousands of miles away; in the Han Dynasty, thirteen generals returned to Yumen.
It’s painful, it’s magnificent”
"I have never understood this period of history, but I couldn't help crying just by watching the film. Now that I understand this period of history and watch the film again, I have already burst into tears!"
"I can't imagine what is supporting them. The young man is growing old. It is just a sentence, but it is half a century!"
"Red blood stains the yellow sand, youth turns to white hair! The whole city is covered with white hair, and I hold the Tang sword until death! How painful and powerful!"
"The separation in the Western Regions lasted a thousand years, and the separation in Anxi lasted half a century!"
PS: I recommend an old book that I have read before, which is "Tang Qi" about An Xijun! You can also listen to the song "True Hero"!
It’s the fifth update again. I’d like to ask for votes, recommended votes, and monthly votes!
