The overall level of authors of online novels is limited, and their understanding and understanding of traditional culture is even more limited, and some flaws in the works are understandable. Moreover, many authors have no time to take care of him for living expenses all day, and no matter how much they accuse, they do not have the heart to learn traditional culture.
Film and television creation should be relatively rigorous, especially now, many costume dramas will invite professionals to give guidance. However, professionals can only guide the lines, props, costumes, etc., and in terms of plot, experts really can't interject. This has led to a strange phenomenon: many mythological dramas have become Western magic dramas dressed in Chinese costumes, most court dramas have become workplace dramas dressed in ancient costumes, and most costume dramas of any genre have a core of urban romance dramas. The disconnect between the story and the background of the times makes many viewers see it in the clouds and fog, and they really don't know where they are. To this day, when it comes to historical dramas, what can convince everyone is almost enough to count with two hands.
Putting aside these plots that have nothing to do with traditional elements, a large number of film and television dramas with traditional elements as the theme are empty of not-so-gorgeous costumes, like some so-called national style music. The development of Chinese style music has also been quite a few years, from the initial no one pays attention to the current popular network, what has changed is not only the status of Chinese style music, but also the mentality of related practitioners. Early Chinese style music is still in the exploratory stage, and the creators carefully combine many elements of traditional culture with modern music, seeking a balance between modern and classical, and carefully maintaining the Chinese flavor in it. However, when Chinese style music was gradually accepted by people, in order to highlight the traditional elements in it, or to emphasize the concept of the so-called true Chinese style, some people began to blindly stuff various ethnic instruments or poetic famous sentences into the work, so that it was a messy stew, but it was a work that the audience could not evaluate.
To this day, the concept of Chinese style has long been blurred, and there are also many Chinese style lovers' aesthetics that are also vague. In a song, as long as there is a little traditional element, it will be treated as a Chinese style song and is popular with many people, and no one has ever cared about how these elements have anything to do with traditional culture. Most of the so-called Chinese style lyrics have become the accumulation of traditional poetic images such as willows and bright moons, and have become a large string of famous poems. It doesn't matter whether these words and sentences are stacked up or not, it doesn't matter how the tune of the song doesn't match the mood of these words and sentences, it doesn't matter whether these songs are really good, as long as they are pushed out, there will naturally be people who will pursue it.
Chinese style music, like the traditional culture revived in recent years, is quite a bit of a feeling of not being ancient or modern, not being east or west. Chinese society has been separated from traditional culture for so long that when we have the opportunity to re-engage with traditional culture, most people feel helpless. In the panic, most of the hands caught are some corners and corners, not systematic. This is true for readers, audiences, and creators are no exception. The works presented by the creators are all in the name of traditional culture, but when the audience looks at these works clearly, they find that they are just empty shells, but they are just cloaked in layers of traditional elements.
From a short-term effect, a coat made of gorgeous traditional elements can indeed attract many viewers or readers who are interested in traditional culture. But when these people find that wrapped under this cloak is still the subject matter and ideas they are tired of, how many times will they be deceived by this model? Moreover, some creators do not even have the slightest respect for traditional culture, but just rub a heat. If this behavior continues, people's enthusiasm for traditional culture will be exhausted sooner or later. What is more serious is that the distorted traditional cultural image created by these works is easily accepted by teenagers, and when teenagers interpret traditional classics with wrong cognition, those true wisdom may no longer be understood.
