On February 28, the second season of the large-scale historical and cultural documentary "China" was launched, which was broadcast every Monday to Thursday at 19:30 on Mango TV and Hunan Satellite TV. The first episode of "Shocking Change" starts with the story of the poet Li Bai Dufu's fate trajectory and the intersection of life, reflecting the style of the entire era.
The first episode of the second season of "China" takes Li Bai and Du Fu as character clues to tell another great encounter in history. In the film, the 42-year-old Li Bai came to Chang'an with great passion again, but after witnessing the prosperous and prosperous world, the official squabble, the emperor's snub and other frustrated situations, he left the temple to send love to the landscape, and at this time, Du Fu was eager to make a meritorious career but still had an uncertain future, and the wonderful fate and the talent of pity for each other made them quickly acquainted. Mr. Wen Yiduo described the meeting as "in the four thousand years of history, except for Confucius and Lao Tzu, there is no more significant, sacred, and memorable meeting between these two people", and he even likened this meeting to the great opportunity of the sun and the moon meeting and the heavens descending on the auspicious Rui.
The Anshi Rebellion is one of the important historical turning points in ancient Chinese politics and culture, and the film cleverly restores the shocking scenes of An Lushan and Shi Siming's rebellion, the rebellious rebels, the displaced people... The killing of the prime minister and the rush of Yang Guifei to Huangquan failed to curb the impact of the rebellion, which began to fundamentally shake the entire dynasty.
It was also in this rebellion that the poet Du Fu personally experienced the tragedy of the chaotic world, began to integrate the worries of his own family and the worries of the country and the people, and wrote the feelings of home and country and the humanistic thoughts of the people who cherished the world. With the gradual collapse of the Tang Empire, his benevolent heart far exceeded the personal miserable fate, rising to a lofty sense of mission to take the life of the world as his own responsibility, and throughout his life, he used poetry to complete the mission of the Confucian "liyan", exuding benevolence, calling for benevolent government, and merging "poetry" and "history" into one, nourishing and circulating.
The arrogant and ethereal Li Bai longed to enter the dynasty and show his fists as an official, but after serving as a Hanlin scholar, he realized that in the eyes of the emperor, he was no different from an astrologer, and his ideal turned into a joke. After the Anshi Rebellion, Li Bai optimistically wrote the poem "The light boat has passed through the ten thousand heavy mountains", he was fearless and free, always active, and did his best to support the ups and downs of his life.
Li Bai and Du Fu, the "Gemini Constellations" in the history of Chinese poetry, with the attitude of "advancing and Confucianism, retreating and retreating", rush forward in the era that belongs to them, reflecting the two fates of "birth" and "entry". Eventually it became a shining "star" that influenced the Tang Dynasty and is the current Chinese thought and culture, nourishing the emotional fertile soil in the hearts of every Chinese.
