Uncle brushed two days ago, the latest remake of "On the Wrong Flower Car To Marry the Lang" has been officially announced.
The smart and beautiful, elegant and generous Chinese beauties, and the on-site scenery of the Jiangnan garden in Yangzhou drunk in March, are indeed difficult to reproduce in today's assembly line-based shed filming ancient puppet drama.
Not to mention that the marriage comedy full of Chinese aesthetic meaning has brought joy to the audience.
But there are also some adaptations that successfully bring out the tragic style in the Chinese marriage aesthetics to the fullest.
This is also another work that Shu wants to mention today - the "Chinese Choir" series of animations created by the domestic youth team.
The stories in this national comic are based on ancient poems or folk tales circulating in Jiaxing.
Among them, the audio clip in the episode of "Acacia", "This is not an ordinary red bean, this is the red bean in Wang Wei's poem" has repeatedly exploded on a short video platform, and has not stopped.
"Haven't you heard Wang Wei's acacia", uncle's ear has automatically started broadcasting this voice
Today, Shu will start from these two representative works and talk about the joy and sorrow of the beauty of Chinese marriage.
01
The beauty of Chinese marriage comedy
"Marrying the Wrong Flower Car to the Lang" is a representative work of the aesthetics of marriage comedy.
1. The beauty of women
This aesthetic is first embodied in two beautiful and intelligent women.
The costume of the whole drama is handled by Yang Shuyun, the stylist of the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
The wedding dress of The Phoenix Crown Xia Shuai, the classical delicate willow leaf eyebrows, the different hair styles designed according to the personality of the characters...
The image of two beautiful people with bright eyes and bright teeth and each with rich charm cannot be more classic.
Just a single smile is enough to distinguish which is the daughter of the lively and agile martial arts master, and which is the gentle and dignified rich merchant family.
In terms of character portrayal, it is not at all rigid and limited.
Li Yuhu seems to be reckless and impulsive, but he is responsive in the dangerous and dark house fight, bold and righteous, and can hide his heart;
Du Bingyan seems to be delicate and weak, but she can dress as a man and go into the military camp alone to find a husband, and her wisdom and strategy are better than men's.
Rough and delicate beauty, women have no distinction between what should and should not be.
2. The beauty of the set
The second is the beauty of the set, the filming location is one south and one north, all of which are real mountains and real rivers and real pavilions.
The exquisite ingenuity of the southern garden and the simplicity and solemnity of the northern courtyard are more and more impressive in the field scenery where the insects can be heard.

Pavilions, rockeries and stone bridges, carved beams and paintings, and corridors and waists have also added too much visual beauty and aftertaste space to the story.
3. Comedy aesthetics with mourning music
Beauty is an indispensable factor in the classics, but what is more classic is the concept of marriage embodied in it:
Yin and yang mistakes but crooked, good things are grinding but doomed to the consummation of dependents, just as the so-called "marriage piles are like threads, a hundred years of coincidence words surprise."
A story that begins with a pouring rain
Getting on the wrong flower car is a sad thing, but between the turns, it has achieved a lively joy, "a mistake in a good day, a mistake is not wrong."
This kind of aesthetic of first suppressing and then rising fully reflects the cheerful and lively style of joy and wrongdoing, but also is not the exaggerated indulgence of entertainment to death.
The story between several pairs of wrongdoers is endlessly memorable and tireless.
02
The beauty of the tragedy of a Chinese marriage
The two episodes of "Acacia" and "Wing Mei" in "Chinese Choir" are representatives of the beauty of this marriage tragedy.
1. The beauty of white space
The opening work "Lovesickness" tells the love story of Wang Chutong, a famous scholar in Jiading, and the daughter of the famous door next door, Liu Niang Qingmei Bamboo Horse and Red Bean, but in the end they have no reason to stay together due to the disparity in class status.
The affection between Wang Chutong and Liu Niang has never been clearly pointed out, but through the three couplet changes at the back door of Liu Niang's house, the place where the two meet, the tactful display of the progress of their feelings.
When the two little ones have no guesses, it is "the poetry book is really interesting, and the flowers and plants are far-reaching";
When the love sinus was first born, it was "flowers falling to add fish shadows, and Liu Fei wanted to accompany the spring swallows";
When the sixth lady got married, Wang Sheng chased to the back door, the two cried each other across the door, and when they never met again in this life, the couplet was "cleverly borrowing flowers to add moon color, wanting to spend the spring supper on a good night." ”
And the red beans that run through the whole process have been transformed into Xiao Xiucai's red ears, the red paper umbrella on the street, the red blood droplets on the embroidered handkerchief, and the red beads on the hairpin...
The aftertaste shows the pity of this marriage for a long time, "Linglong dice An Hongdou, into the bone lovesickness do not know."
2. The beauty of growth
The finale of the series, "Wing Mei", tells the love legend between Zhou Hao, a famous bamboo carving artist in Jiading, and the little tree spirit Mei Niang who was inadvertently saved when he was young.
When he grew up, Zhou Hao searched for mountains, rivers and seas to seek "the most beautiful thing in the world" in order to fulfill his master's last wishes.
It wasn't until he was terminally ill and ran out of oil that he realized that the most beautiful thing was around him, and he never really cherished it.
Mei Niang's eyes are like rivers, eyebrows are like green bamboo, ears are like peaks, lips are like plum petals, and the original beauty has always been with her
In the end, Mei Niang used up her cultivation spirit to save the seriously ill Zhou Hao, and then she also transformed into a plum blossom, and dissipated and withered without regret.
After that, Zhou Hao "never carved a lady in his life, nor did he carve a plum blossom."
Throughout the story, Zhou Hao's cognitive change of the most beautiful things is also a change in mood during the growth of life.
In the end, from the outside to the inside, he finally faced his heart.
3. The tragic aesthetic of contrasting joy and sorrow
In the two stories, the two pairs of characters are two small and unsuspecting and green plum bamboo horses in their infancy, but when they grow up, they are destined to be separated and staggered.
Wing Mei
This kind of joy and sorrow is especially evident in "Lovesickness", and the noisy and festive scene when the sixth lady is married also sets off the sadness of the two people who have died.
"Acacia"
The Tragedy of Love in Chinese Style focuses on the struggle between individuals and families.
The fate of the individual is exiled under the power of the times, but in the sorrow there is a beauty of restraint and grace.
From a modern perspective, this traditional view of marriage that is rejected by class, or that women save men by sacrificing themselves, is somewhat stereotypically pedantic.
If the story of Wang Chutong and Liu Niang were placed today, perhaps not only Wang Sheng would eventually be admitted to the career.
Liu Niang can also get out of the deep boudoir, break free of the shackles, and is not willing to be a weak and weak daughter;
And between Zhou Hao and Mei Niang, it should not be only women who make sacrifices.
Tradition has its own limitations, but what we are touched by is not just the missing and withering of it.
It is also the most rare sincerity and sincerity in the world.
Stumbling all the way, I just want to share with you the amazing joy of a red bean
The beauty of marriage, there are sorrows and joys.
And the neutralization of "mourning without hurting" has also achieved the unique beauty of Chinese marriage in our culture.
Finally, Shu also wishes you all:
"Sometimes we love each other side by side, and we have a relationship with our families."
