Adaptation is not a random change, now the adaptation of many works makes it difficult for us to accept, we are difficult to accept that Yang Jian actually fell in love with Dai Ji, the history of the Wu King has become a god fight, and now the god fight has become a love ethics drama, such a dog blood adaptation is really hot eyes. This kind of unrealistic adaptation is very common, in the historical drama many people who behave badly have become positive characters full of justice, or some good and bad characters are exaggerated, silently talk about his mistakes, and portray an emperor with meritorious deeds into an emperor for thousands of years, there are many such film and television dramas, there are also many whitewashed emperors, Zhu Qizhen of the Ming Dynasty and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty are the two most obvious characters.

Zhu Qizhen is not a good emperor, he has not done a good thing in his life except to love a woman and abolish the martyrdom system, but the film and television drama seizes such a good thing to whitewash him as a rare great emperor of the Ming Dynasty, using his love story to move the audience, making his fainting, mistakes covered up, which is disrespect for history. Zhu Qizhen is an emperor with personnel, it seems that all people like him, the captured enemies like him, the eunuchs who are ordered to guard him like him, with the help of everyone, he successfully became the emperor again from the prisoner of the order, this is the presentation of the film and television drama to us, but ignored his favored eunuchs, the imperial conquest let the Ming Dynasty elite overthrow the Tumu Fort, almost let the Ming Dynasty perish in advance, if there is no Yu Qian in beijing to turn the tide, where is the Ming Dynasty where there is any king dead Sheji, only the captured king of the country. However, Zhu Qizhen, who had regained the throne, killed Yu Qian, a meritorious man, Zhu Qizhen was a good man, but not a good emperor, and such whitewashing was very clumsy and made people very disgusted, which was disrespectful to history.
The emperor who was successfully whitewashed by film and television works was Qianlong, Qianlong was the sixth emperor of the Qing Dynasty, reigned for sixty years, actually held power for sixty-three years, created a historical record of the emperor of China's feudal dynasty holding power, and was also the longest-lived emperor, the Qianlong Emperor was a wise and divine emperor in the early days of his rule, calming the disasters on the frontier, maintaining the unity of the motherland, perfecting various systems, and promoting the development of various undertakings, which was his good credit, but in the late reign of the Qianlong Emperor, Daxing literary prison, extravagant corruption, and the outbreak of many peasant uprisings. Moreover, the dominant closed country has reached its peak, allowing China to completely and develop a severance of relations.
Such "merits" made the Qianlong Emperor can only be regarded as an emperor with mixed merits, but under the whitewashing of many film and television works, the Qianlong Emperor became a representative figure of the Emperor of the Ages and a saint emperor who petitioned for the people. Zhu Qizhen's whitewashing is very clumsy, and Qianlong's whitewashing is very successful, but no matter how it is whitewashed by film and television dramas, it cannot change their dark performance in history.
