A history of the development of The Mufu, a history of the development of Lijiang, and a history of the development of the Naxi people. Broadcast on CCTV, and popular. I initially thought that because his theme was national unity, telling the development of ethnic minorities, and conforming to mainstream culture, he was favored by CCTV. But after watching it several times, I felt that the original idea was too shallow. This is a film that emphasizes the great righteousness, permeated with Confucian culture, permeated with a sense of national belonging, and the contradiction is not how to struggle, but how to develop in Lijiang, how to complete the transfer of power in Mufu. This makes it stand at a higher point than other historical dramas.
Friends always say, what is the original book, I want to see what kind of drama you like. There is no original work, it is based on the research materials of Huang Naizhen, the director of the Lijiang Ancient City Museum, on the Lijiang Mufu for decades, and it took 12 years to complete the shooting. Even so, just talk about the play itself, what can be seen from the play.
Friends also said that to see whether an actor's acting skills are good or not, you can see whether his fool is good or not. Her remarks made me laugh, but I must admit that I still agree with them. At the same time, I think it can also be seen whether he has a deeper understanding of the role. At least in this drama, whether it is pan hong, Yu Rongguang, Lu Liangwei such old drama bones, or some other actors who are not popular, they have done this, they understand the role.
How can history look good? The style of "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty" blew a gust of wind, because he first pulled the great man off the altar and understood it from a human point of view. As Lin Qingxuan has always said, "Everyone is human." The same is true of mufu, from toast to beggars, all the characters are flesh and blood, plump.
I have not understood two questions, and I think of two loopholes, one is who Xihe really is, and the other is why Aleqiu has the ability to run the gold mine.
Who the hell is West River? As the only villain, he hates Mufu and wants to destroy Lijiang. He said it wasn't Aleqiu's uncle, it was a border bandit. If this is the case, then mufu said that Aleqiu's parents colluded with border bandits, and Aleqiu should not think that Mufu killed good people by mistake. So how did Xihe gain the trust of Aleqiu's parents and lurk in their house for so long? As a result, her entire family was brutally killed. Why was Xihe able to mobilize so many of his men to run for his life and assassinate Mu Zeng? Why did Xihe have so much money to give to Mu Long? He was a mystery. He was not an ordinary man, otherwise he would not have understood the hearts of the people and knew how to use the power struggle to stir up the wooden government. He was also not an ordinary border bandit, otherwise he would not have killed the commander of the White Ghost Battalion. He did nothing but vent the hatred in his heart. I suspect that he was once also the upper echelon of society, destroying his family in the long conquests of Mufu, leaving him alone, so he wanted revenge.
As a maid of the MuFu and under the supervision of Roshinin for a long time, how could Aleqiu be educated? It was impossible for the Mufu to give the maids literacy, although the Daming at that time gave the eunuchs literacy. Well, explain it with the protagonist aura.
To talk about a very interesting topic, the MuQing family and the Mulong family. Why is the difference in personality between the two brothers so great? This is mainly due to their different external and self-positioning.
First, parents position them differently. Mu Qing is the eldest son, so it is reasonable to cultivate according to the model of the successor. Mu Long was the second son, so he even had so much trouble getting military power. The primogeniture system has always been in line with the trend of history. So Mu Qing knew the Secret Passage of Flowing Water, knew that the mysterious guard of Mu Fu had his own concubines in the army, although he didn't want to fight for anything. Mu Long is a martial artist worried about his parents and brothers, and he tries his best to intervene in the military power and thinks that it is seamless, but he does not want everyone to know. He is like an ignorant problem child in the eyes of adults, so he forced Mu Qing to die, and Mu Qing did not hate him, but was worried that his brother would go astray and could not extricate himself.
Second, they position themselves differently. Mu Qing is the eldest son, he will not fight for toast, the position of toast was born to belong to him. Mu Long wanted to fight everywhere, but he didn't want to fight for toast, and he also loved his eldest brother, otherwise he wouldn't be so sad after Mu Qing's death, and later swore allegiance to Mu Zeng. He just hopes to be valued by his parents, gain military power, and use force to strengthen Lijiang.
As a result, their families became different. Mu Zeng is wise, methodical, clear thinking, and knows what he wants and how to get it. Mu Kun acts impulsively, emotionally, and only after losing does he know what he wants. Amuga is as indisputable as her husband, lenient and kind, while Takashi Ju makes people feel stupid. It can be seen that Mu Qing and Mu Long have a great influence on the families of both sides, and the actors show this very well.
There is also a theme that I have long been aware of, the spread of Confucian culture and its influence on border peoples. Mu Qing is the spokesperson, and Mu Zeng is the practitioner.
"Benevolent people are not worried" is always placed on Mu Qing's table, which is Mu Qing's lifelong pursuit, and it is even more incomprehensible to Mu Long. Mu Qing is a smart person, but he understands that his parents, especially his mother Luo Shi Ning, are rare shrewd people. He thinks of the wise man Leshan and the benevolent man Leshui. He strikes when it's time to strike, and lets everyone play when it doesn't matter. For example, on the issue of Aleqiu, he only said to Mu Zeng, I will not interfere with who you like, which shows his support and trust in the child. He can put aside identity biases like Roshinin and be tolerant, even more tolerant. But he was also a bit of a Confucian pedantic, so that he was misunderstood by his brother and even forced to die.
Why did Mu Zeng become the greatest toast in Lijiang and the "Wood King" of the Naxi people? In addition to his own cultivation, it is also the accumulation of three generations.
His grandparents and his father were all enlightened people, so he could say that true strength was inner strength. Can't do martial arts but sword and axe plus face without fear, can't do martial arts but subdued a wave of martial generals. It shows that the Naxi people do not only worship heroic and warlike warriors, they have received the influence of the Central Plains culture, and the benevolent Mu Zeng can also impress them. It confirms what Xu Xiake told Mu Zeng that the gold mine will dry up, but culture is truly permanently inherited, and to be strong, it must integrate culture. Mu Zeng showed his outstanding political talent in handling several things, persuading Ah Hu, subjugating Mu Luo, making Bano submit, making Gao Yulong die, making Mu Kun change his mind, and making the warriors with ghostly hearts loyal to themselves. He was a brilliant statesman, and he proved what Mencius said... However, those who are not kings, there are not also. Lijiang has become a place of cultural convergence and prosperity!
Mu Zeng was also extremely emotional. After all, Amuro Yu was his cousin, and in this political marriage, she was also very bitter, so he let him and Ah Hu go and let the world laugh; when Aleqiu was taken captive to Yongning, he impulsively sent troops, calmed down, and made ten years of planning for Mufu and wanted to end himself. Later he forgave Mu Long, who was his second uncle after all, and the second uncle finally grew up, with his father's life. The revenge of killing the father cannot be repaid, let the people of the world laugh! The people of Lijiang watched the outcome of this matter, and they got a benevolent toast, a benevolent toast, and the people's hearts. Mu Zeng achieved the unity of the family and then the rule of the country, and the rule of the country and then the peace of the world.
Luo Shining is the hostess of Mufu and the mistress of Lijiang. This enlightened woman was not portrayed to be left with only righteousness, no defects, she also had a small selfishness, and her only selfish heart was to let her mother's family be Mrs. Toast forever, so she seduced Amuro to marry Muzeng, for the supreme power, after all, Muzeng's mother did not have this ambition. It was not that she wanted to kill Aleqiu, but that Aleqiu was of unknown origin, not a handmaiden who knew the roots, and was so clever that if she was not a friend, she would eventually become a hidden danger in the wooden house, and she was very aware of the fire and knew all the big and small things. He can make Tuba loyal, can make Muwang respect, and when he is young, he must have made a contribution to the stability of Mufu. Mu Zeng's wisdom is generally honed in the confrontation with her, and she finally sighs and says that kindness and forgiveness can release such a great power, which is the main theme of this play. The Confucian "benevolence" and "forgiveness" were not only done by Mu Zeng, but also by Aleqiu.
I have to say that every character in "Wooden House" is very full of shapes and impressive. Perhaps, this is also a key factor in the popularity of this drama.
