The number of times the four masterpieces have been adapted into TV series is very large, and these masterpieces themselves have a very strong communication force, coupled with the popularity of TV dramas, it is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But in fact, the theory of the four famous works appeared very late, before the founding of New China, it has always been said that there are six famous works, and the extra two books are "Jin Ping Mei" and the other is "Ru Lin Wai Shi".
Recently, the TV series remade by Ru Linwaishi was finally broadcast, but it was renamed "Laughing Books", and this TV series was also backlogged for a long time before it was broadcast.
I feel that this TV series is difficult to catch fire, in fact, like "Jin Ping Mei", this book is also an extremely realistic book, and people's hearts seem to be unwilling to face the most real and cruel life.
There are several points in Ru Lin's history that are very thoroughly written and very cruel, facing the darkest parts of human nature, and Wu Jingzi, as a member of Confucianism, showed the hypocrisy and cunning of intellectuals in the most ruthless way.
Is Fan Jin a good man?
Why this book is not popular, because he writes too really, the so-called truth is that you live in reality, it is difficult to distinguish who is a good person and who is a bad person.
The novel must have a very obvious and personality, good people and bad people, there must be a clear distinction, but good people or bad people, in Fan Jin's body seems to be difficult to say.
Fan Jin was completely a poor student, his only goal was to pass the examination, his life was very miserable, the old man also looked down on him, and in ancient times, there were very few readers who could take the examination and become an official.
In fact, the Ming and Qing dynasties did not have a sharp increase in the number of readers, and the corresponding number of officials did not increase, and many readers actually fell into a kind of substantial poverty.
If Fan Jin can't be lifted, he is completely a waster, reading is only reading those exam books, nothing else, all kinds of strange performances in the middle of the lift, his display is exactly that era, the most successful form of a reader, and at the same time it is so unbearable.
Strictly speaking, Fan Jin is not a bad person, but he does things, there is no moral bottom line at all, the most flaunted morality of Confucianism is often broken, and the mother eats big fish and meat during the funeral period.
Academically, even Su Shi did not know who it was, and his ignorance to this extent was also the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and one of the most obvious disadvantages of the Eight Strands of Scholars was that he only knew how to read four books, and the other books were not read at all.
It is impossible for you to expect such people to be good to the people and to have superb means of governance, and it will form a small group, to promote each other, to form a group of civilian officials with vested interests.
Such a winner in life, you like it or not, hate and hate, this is actually the most real look of most people, after all, there are still very few people in society who commit adultery and evil.
Good guy who let his daughter starve to death
Ru Linwai Tells the story of an old Confucian, the husband of this old Confucian daughter died, and the old Confucian asked the daughter to be martyred for her husband, and a simple way is to starve to death.
Zhenjie Arch was very popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which is probably the most shocking role in the book, many times, when we have a certain life experience, but feel that you simply for money, do something without conscience, or very excessive, this can also be understood, after all, only after experiencing suffering, can you truly understand the meaning of money.
But this kind of student belongs to the kind of person who is full of mud, and only has the idea of letting his daughter have a good death, these days he is restless at home, waiting for a news that he is very troubled, and finally the news comes, and his daughter finally starves to death.
The old scholar finally had a chance to show his face in his life, which is a major event in the county, a set of commendation processes, the old scholar's face is really very face.
But in the end, this old scholar used his daughter's life, but he didn't get anything, just an empty shell, he wanted to go to the Taibo Temple in Nanjing to see, and he didn't see it, this was the last belief in Confucian etiquette in his heart, and even this last bit of comfort was gone.
Good people scatter their family wealth
The overall structure of Ru Lin's foreign history, along with Jin Ping Mei, is a completely realistic approach, strictly speaking, there are not many good people in the book, and Du Shaoqing, who is based on the author Wu Jingzi, ended up with a family wealth.
Du Shaoqing is a person who has a real ideal for Confucianism; he belongs to the kind of personality that Confucianism really respects; he does not read for the sake of becoming an official; he is one of the few people in Confucianism who really has the heart to help the people through the ages and is willing to put into practice the ideals of Confucianism.
However, although Du Shaoqing has money, in reality, he always encounters many people who deliberately take advantage of his charity and deliberately take advantage of him, and even the so-called housekeepers change the law to ask for his money.
In the end, Du Shaoqing scattered his family wealth, left his hometown where he originally lived, and moved to Nanjing, and later the Taibo Temple was built by them, but it was such a true Confucian that did not have a particularly good ending in the book.
In general, this book is too realistic, the various ugly descriptions of the readers are vividly described, the social irony and criticism are very strong, the depth is very profound, but in today's entertainment, it is destined to become a hit, and the book itself is a little too spicy, many people at first glance, may also be difficult to accept.
