Re-watching "The Red Lantern Hangs High", I finally understood what the film was about, and I couldn't help but sigh at Zhang Yimou's wisdom, and at the same time understand why this film can have such a lofty status.
Reminds me of a conversation I recently saw at the back of an official account article.
What you see is the wisdom that belongs to you.
It is like, when a math problem is placed on the blackboard, a child walks up to the podium, picks up the powder hair, writes clearly next to it, the teacher standing on the side looks at the child's step-by-step writing steps, smiles and chins, and when the child finishes writing, he can't help but clap his hand at the child, the child turns around, the teacher reaches out his hand and high-fives the child, and the two look at each other and laugh.
The other children in the podium watched the interaction between the two people in confusion, waiting to reveal the answer.
The teacher can admire the wisdom of the child for the Olympiad problem because the teacher himself also has the wisdom of the Olympiad problem, and in essence, what the teacher sees is his own wisdom.
This resonance can only be possessed by those who have the same wisdom. People who have not had the same wisdom cannot see the wisdom of the child, and they will only be dazed at the child's writing, and naturally they will not be able to resonate.
So yeah, one person can see another person, one person can resonate with another person, essentially because they have the same thing.
Back to the film "The Red Lantern Hangs High", I feel that I finally understood, and admired Zhang Yimou's wisdom and recognized the lofty status of the film, in essence, because the reality of the film's reflection was what I saw, and I had the same understanding as the film, so I resonated with the expression of the film.
At the same time, everyone who grew up in the real society, even if you have never understood "The Red Lantern Hangs High", as you grow older, the more things you experience, you will eventually see reality and will eventually understand this film.

The greatest sorrow of a family is the introduction of power mechanisms into the family.
Chen Fu in "The Big Red Lantern Hangs High" is so sad. It is not so much that Chen Fu is a big family, but rather a workplace, and Mr. Chen is the big boss in this workplace.
He controls the Chen Fu unit, extending his personal will into the corners and corners of the unit, even if he does not even show a positive face in the whole film, nor does he appear several times, you can clearly feel his absolute control over the Chen Mansion up and down.
His way, first, uses the only man who listens, and second, runs the rules that revolve around him.
For the first article, the employment of personnel should use Chen Baishun. The naming of the butler in the film is really exquisite, a Chen Baishun, the road is exhausted by endless opportunities.
A person who is obedient to you, even if you want to kill people, he can do it for you, such a person, obedient as his right hand, to execute his own will naturally enough to execute.
Chen Baishun is probably the most proud employment arrangement for Boss Chen to manage chen mansion.
Second, regarding the rules, let's see what rules the Chen Mansion has.
"The Big Red Lantern Hangs High" focuses on the lighting rules for managing several wives, which is the old rule handed down by the big bosses of Chen Mansion.
This set of rules, a whole set of deliberate manifestations, at dusk, several rooms of the wife at the gate of the rule of the standing, far away, the maid from the upper floor to represent the lantern of Linxing, walk a circle to the big boss to name the wife of Linxing, put the lantern in front of the wife, the housekeeper shouted "X courtyard lighting" to everyone, and then the wife's room big red lantern hung high, and then the sound of the bell's beating sounded through the clouds, the night the big boss came, the next day's table was lit by the wife can order, and then at dusk, Repeat this set of procedures...
Solemn, solemn, and ceremonial enough.
This set of rules puts the big boss of Chen Mansion in a lofty position, with the posture of a giver, giving bait to catch these wives, so that the wives can compete for his favor to earn their own honor and honor.
This set of rules is a classic, perfectly expressing the positioning and control of the big boss of Chen Mansion over his relationship with his wives. The wives are the tools that serve the physical desires and reproductive functions of the big boss of Chen Fu, since the positioning is a tool, their status naturally cannot sit on an equal footing with the master, and naturally need to use the ceremony to remind them from time to time that the big boss is on top of them; and how to control the tool to be used better for me, then create an atmosphere that makes the tool act involuntarily, the benefits after lighting the lamp are like carrots hanging in front of the donkey day after day, running forward can be eaten, not running to eat carrots may also be beaten in the face by the whips that emerge around So, do mrs. Chen Fu run or not run?
Day after day of domestication, eating the dignity and value of the wives themselves, not worrying about the wives not revolving around the big boss, not worrying about the wives not fighting with each other, not worrying about the wives wanting to unite against the big boss.
Coupled with a tough enough punishment mechanism, the big boss who deceives him will decisively seal the lamp, and when he resists the big boss, he will decisively extinguish his mouth, kill and decide, and he will not worry that the big boss cannot maintain his absolute authority position in front of the wives or even in front of the servants.
This set of rules is used because of the inheritance, to the current Boss Chen here is also used by him with taste, in the use of rules, this Boss Chen is absolutely well versed in its way, is a master.
With this set of rules, without moving, he achieved his goal, and left everyone unaware, and he could also have a dignified posture in front of everyone, just as he did when he introduced Song Lian at the dinner table, and taught the wives in a dignified manner--"From now on, the sisters should live in harmony." ”
Isn't your rule that you want these wives to fight?
Boss Chen used obedient people to run the rules that revolved around him, infiltrating his personal will into the chen mansion up and down, invisibly controlling the direction of the fate of everyone in the Chen mansion.
People in the Chen Mansion exist only to serve the personal will of Boss Chen, so every individual who exists in the Chen Mansion is more like a tool of Boss Chen for Boss Chen to use, like a dog like a cat like a rat, just not like a person.
What kind of presence is that?

Speak one by one.
This article mainly talks about the first hostile character that Song Lian encountered in the house, Yan'er.
This goose borrowed a sentence from "Dream of the Red Chamber" to describe Yahuan, "The heart is higher than the sky, the life is thinner than paper", born humble but a little arrogant, with Boss Chen's like fantasy of being a wife, when it is not successful, he will vent his resentment to the fourth wife who has just taken office.
Logically speaking, it is Boss Chen who should not be a wife, and if she wants to be angry, she should be angry with Boss Chen, and what evil anger will be sent towards this newly appointed fourth wife? This depends on what Boss Chen and Yan'er said and did and how Yan'er's mind runs.
Boss Chen's virtue, he will use the bait to hang the wives, of course, he will also use the bait to hang the ring he wants to use his hands and feet, so that Yan'er, a woman with a bit of a fierce personality, is willing to be moved by him, so we can make up a few points of what Boss Chen said to Yan'er——
"Good goose, let boss Chen use his hands and feet on you, give you a wife in the next year, and let Second Aunt Cao beat your feet!"
"Sweet Goose, this time the wife quota has been taken away by others, I can't help it, next time I help you fight for it, you have to behave well, let me Boss Chen do something to you."
"Good goose, do a good job, my boss Chen will not treat you badly."
Yan'er fantasized about being a wife, this fantasy must not have come out of thin air, it must have been Boss Chen who seduced her at some time. The fantasy is disappointed, the fantasy can not become a reality for the time being, and the fantasy is still there, and it is still counting on Boss Chen, naturally boss Chen is not angry, the key does not dare to be angry, but will only be angry to the person who ostensibly destroys her fantasy, negative emotions always need a undertaker Object, the fourth wife has just arrived after all, the foundation is unstable, and it is also a good undertaking object. I can't be a wife, the reason is that my goose's identity is low, Boss Chen plays with me like playing with a cat and a dog, such a truth, I can see the goose, see where can I face it, face it, the illusion will be broken, the truth of the existence of the true self will come to the face. Well, it's not a problem of my low status, it's not Boss Chen's problem of playing with me, it's a problem of Song Lian killing halfway, and I don't want to sprinkle on this blocker!
The truth was surrounded by the fog of illusion, and The Goose, in such an illusion, could not do her duty as a yahuan in peace, and she regarded Song Lian as an enemy and wanted to find an opportunity to kill her.
The strange tone of her words to Song Lian and the small actions of spitting on Song Lian's clothes in her actions, her helping the second wife to make a needle-tied puppet to curse Song Lian, and her exposing Song Lian's pregnancy fraud, all came from the instructions issued to her by her illusion.
At the same time she secretly lit a lantern in her house, which was her faith, the lamp above her illusion.
When Song Lian asked her to pound her feet, she scolded Lian, "You have the ability, you let Second Aunt Cao punch you!" ”
Yan'er, listening to people sent by people to be popular, her world is very small, so small that life is not so possible, she sees a woman's ability, a woman's ultimate noble future, is not to be a wife, to be lit, to be waited for to beat her feet?
It was really sad and ridiculous to think about, but this was the true posture and appearance of the humble grass that grew in the Chen Mansion.
An old maid once advised Yan'er to face reality, "You can't do this, you see that the old man likes you, and you want to be a wife?" Even if the old man does not marry this time, the fourth wife will not be you, you are not the life of the wife, wait for the new fourth wife, don't think about it. ”
The old servants can face the reality and accept the fate of their own waiters, so they can also calmly face the objects of waiting, such as Cao Er's aunt, and she can calmly pound the feet of the wives every day.
And the geese can't, she lives in the illusion, every time the waiter hangs his face, she is not willing to accept her fate.
Yan'er eventually died in the Chen Mansion, after Song Lian became angry and revealed the fact that she secretly lit a lamp in her own house, "A ya ring, secretly lighting a lantern in the house, is this lantern you casually lit?" Is this something that a yahuan can do? "I tell you, a wife is a wife, and a ring is a ring." Song Lian said "Ya Ring" one by one, and the sound poked at the pain point of the goose.
The lantern was burned, and the geese were punished to kneel before the ashes of the lantern. If you admit it, you can get up, but even if you can't kneel in the ice and snow, the geese don't admit it, and she doesn't agree with the fate of her yahuan.
Until the moment of death, Yan'er still shouted Song Lian's name, in her cognition, she should be the wife's person, Song Lian was the one who robbed her of her wife's position, and even more the person who killed her, she was angry with Song Lian until her death.
Illusions are ingrained and unbroken to death.
Humble and scrupulous life, venting the anger of unjust fate, will only turn to the same innocent people.
To her death, she still hated Song Lian, but did not express her hatred for Boss Chen, the person who played with her like a cat and a dog, hung out her appetite for "being a wife", but did not feed her the food of "wife's position", not only let her hopes fail, but also let her go to the new wife as a yahuan, Boss Chen's operation, until death, the geese could not see clearly.
If you can't see clearly, you can't escape.
Can't escape being tempted, can't escape being used, can't escape being played.
Low status, some arrogance, some unrealistic desires, but not very smart, such a figure in the Chen Mansion, Chen Fu to her is like a net, easily caught her desires.
Those who are caught in the net, they are preyed upon, they can't get out, they are resentful, they are angry with others, and eventually they kill themselves.
The goose who ended up hating lost her life. For Chen Fu, it is only one less person who exercises the function of tools, and the aunt and wife can be remarried, not to mention the "next person" in boss Chen's mouth, her death is just a lost cat and a dog for Boss Chen, and it is naturally impossible to make a few waves in Chen mansion.
Looking back at the struggle of the geese in the Chen Mansion before, the broken lantern that was picked up and repaired, so serious, it was really a big illusion.
