Above we talked about the falsity of "art first" including "science first". I am a student of philosophy and I still say "philosophy is supreme", I am studying history, I think "history is supreme". In short, the carrier of art and the audience should not have the idea of "higher than animals and plants", you like your profession is no problem, there is no need to like what to belittle other professions. In particular, with the help of certain "supremes" to do things with ulterior motives.
Art linked to history must first respect history
For example, if we clearly want to follow the West and turn China into the West, hate the revolution, and belittle and overthrow the Qing Dynasty, it is better to come to a constitutional monarchy like britain, so we must use the theory of "art supremacy" to fabricate and fabricate history to whitewash and depict ugly things such as Li Hongzhang and Cixi. Although this practice, this practice of playing the art of television dramas, although it would have some effect at the time and would deceive some people, it was just as "The Death of Mara" was hidden in the snow for seventy or eighty years, and finally entered the house again because of its excellent art and people no longer hated revolutionary history.
This is the real art, and art itself must be an art that conforms to historical reality. How can a historical film and television drama that you don't even respect history make the world respect your artistic value? If we take "The Death of Marat" as an example, some people will say that there is no real history, such as the mara killings, or even the list of people provided by Koday.
The problem is that the artist certainly has his own love and hatred, and he shows the art in his heart through his love and hatred with "historical truth", which is the truth of art, the truth of history. The relevant content elements in "The Death of Mara" are all in line with history, but he does not include all historical elements, in fact, it is not realistic that all historical elements are included.
"The Death of Marat" this painting, because it was born during the French Revolution, people's attitude towards the revolution and the good or bad attitude towards Mara directly affected the love of this work, at that time there were many people who lashed out at the painter and this work, and even after the death of the painter, they were not allowed to transport the body back to France. This is the interference of human nature with art.
In the same way, because human nature judges a certain thing differently, it will allow art to interfere with other industries. The contradiction between history and art is more direct. Because the revolution hurts everyone's interests, the hatred of the revolution not only suppresses works of art. He also slandered the characters in the revolution.
The Deaths of Mara and Lavoisier: It seems normal to spread rumors about political enemies and disliked people, both ancient and modern
Among the many smear statements, Lavoisier's death is related to Mara as a well-known case. At the same time, the judge who sentenced Lavoisier and others to death said with great righteousness: The republic does not need scientists, and after the era of people's mad smear, it has also been explained: this is nonsense, and the judge has never said so.
Lavoisier is known as the "father of modern chemistry". Let's start with his pioneering contributions. He proposed the theory of oxidation, opposed the theory of combustion, named oxygen and hydrogen; built a modern measurement system; confirmed the existence of silicon, confirmed that sulfur is a single element; verified the law of conservation of mass; wrote the first modern textbook "Basic Treatise on Chemistry"...
Lavoisier died on May 8, 1794, Mara died on July 13, 1793. It was more the work of Robespierre and others. On November 28, 1793, all 28 members of the tax-packing organization were arrested and imprisoned. On May 7, 1794, all 28 tax collectors were sentenced to death and executed the following day. Regarding Lavoisier's death, his fellow member of the Academy of Sciences, Fowlois, is said to have been the driving force behind it, not only Lavoisier, but many well-known scientists in the Academy of Sciences were his enemies.
Of course, Marat was also unfriendly to Lavoisier during his lifetime, and even said that Lavoisier "buried this pseudo-scholar who was the enemy of the people!" "Obviously, Lavoisier was definitely not a pseudo-scholar, he was a great scientist.
But after the french Revolution began, Lavoisier, as a rich man, as a tax collector, was bound to be the object of purging.
The main responsibility for the outbreak of the revolution is that those in positions of power do not know how to compromise. In a revolution, no one can do anything about it, and if it is to be avoided, the ruling class must know how to "compromise". Moreover, this compromise is not based on the bottom line of "compromise" as considered by the ruling class (strata), but the "bottom line of approval" of the revolutionaries. If you do not reach this level, the revolution cannot stop.
If you cannot satisfy the "bottom line" of the revolutionary, you can only be killed by the revolution or the revolution. Those who think that the revolutionary years did not know how to abide by discipline and the law, did not know how to reason, can only say that such people have burned out their brains. Thus, in the revolutionary epoch, only two questions are of the utmost importance. Is it the success of the revolutionary or the success of the revolutionary.
Everything has to wait for the result before there is reason.
Just as the West now imposes sanctions on the Russian nation for art, on food, on cats and dogs and trees, can this be justified? If you can't talk about it, you can only wait for the results to come out or after one party can't stick to it, and then it is time to reason or forget each other.
To paraphrase a lyric, how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? How can we know the preciousness of peace without revolution?
The French Revolution that overthrew the old order of the Western world: Marat was only one of the staged representatives
The period of the French Revolution was very chaotic, with many factions, and each class, each stratum, had its own representatives. The French monarchists, the constitutional monarchists, the revolutionaries, the constitutional monarchists have the Fiyanists, the Girondins (early); among the revolutionaries there are the Jacobins, the Radicals, the Montagnards, the Girondins (in the middle and late period), the Pantsless Party and the Eberle, and so on.
In the short ten years from the beginning of the Revolution of 1789 to the time of Napoleon's reign (the 1799 Coup d'état of the Misty Moon), the three major factions and the three major factions continued to govern and kill, and one group became stronger than the other.
Mara belonged to the leadership of the Cordelier (Cordely) club, and Danton, De Mouran and others were the main players of the club, and together with the Jacobin club, they overthrew the Girondists and also advocated cutting off the king's head.
After Marat was killed, Robespierre led a radical revolution that killed Danton of the Cordeliers Club. Shortly thereafter, Robespierre was overthrown and beheaded by panicked parliamentarians.
The parliamentarians did this because Robespierre implied that there were conspirators and liars in the National Convention and the Public Order Commission, because of Robespierre's cruel tyranny, everyone felt that they had been suspected and that they would die without a place to die. Faced with the fear of death, people began to fight back.
The next day there was a "Thermidorian Coup", and the next day Robespierre and St. Juist (27 years old, known as the "Archangel of Terror (Revolution)") and Kuton (East) were killed together. Thus, into the period of the Rule of the Thermidorians.
The Thermidorians basically implemented the views of Marat, Danton, and others, suppressing the bottomless people while preventing the royalists from attacking. From this, it can be seen that their line belongs to the moderate views of the radical faction. However, in the state of revolution, there is no "centrist". Whoever is centrist will fail.
Either side can only succeed if it gradually changes its radical views of the past after gaining a solid dominance. Well, as a radical, you have to satisfy the radicals' point of view, but you feel that the radicals' views and policies are not good, or think that they are too cruel or too irrational, and the problem is getting bigger and bigger in this left-and-right view.
It was in this context that the Thermidorians were unable to satisfy both the revolutionaries and royalists. Therefore, its rule is unstable. This laid the foundation for the rise of the Napoleonic Empire.
