There are two protagonists in this matter.
One protagonist is "Chang'an 30,000 Li".
The other is the Luoyang Sui and Tang History Society, which does not want to rub the heat.
The fuse was the above statement posted on the official WeChat public account. The statement said that "Chang'an 30,000 Li" has played a positive role in popularizing historical knowledge and improving national cultural self-confidence, but some plots are inconsistent with the facts, which is very easy to mislead the audience and affect the feelings of compatriots in the place where historical figures were born and where the incident occurred. The statement said that in order to restore the real history and maintain the authenticity of historical figures, a lawyer's letter has been issued to the producer, requesting the film producer, director, screenwriter, etc. to issue a statement of correction and apology. After a lot of media reports, this matter immediately attracted a lot of attention.
In fact, it is not the first time that Luoyang has grabbed this movie. From the initial verbal boycott, to the later masked man in the cinema holding up the sign, to the denunciation of Shandong scholars with Henan accent, and finally to this Sui and Tang History Society to issue a lawyer's letter. This time, the real big melon is not the Sui and Tang History Society, but a lawyer's letter. That is to say, the impression is that it is about to be prosecuted.
However, after consulting a lawyer, I understood. A lawyer's letter is a professional legal document produced and sent by a lawyer to accept the client's entrustment, disclose and evaluate relevant facts or legal issues, and then put forward requirements to achieve certain results. A lawyer's letter is not an indictment, not a judgment. It also does not have legal effect, and the lawyer's letter only expresses the meaning that I will solve the problem through legal means.
Based on the principle of who claims and who gives evidence, then if I really want to prosecute, I am afraid that I will have to collect more detailed facts. So the question is, what kind of organization is the main Sui and Tang History Society?
Registration information shows that the Luoyang Sui and Tang History Society was established in 2015. The start-up capital is 30,000 yuan. Unified social credit code: 51410300358421539G.
The Sui and Tang Dynasty Society also owns a trademark of the Sui and Tang Imperial City.
In addition, the website of the Luoyang Sui and Tang History Society indicates that the society is approved by the Luoyang Civil Affairs Bureau and is a community organization under the management of the Luoyang Social Science Federation, which accepts the business guidance of the China Tang History Society and the China Wu Zetian Research Association.
Luoyang Sui and Tang History Society, the president is Mr. Wang Kai.
According to relevant media reports, Wang Kai has been a senior Chinese teacher of Luoyang No. 8 Middle School for a long time, and it should be noted that in an interview with reporters on the 17th, Wang Kai said that he had retired. But on the Internet with memory, Teacher Wang still left a lot of footprints.
Published on the official website of No. 8 Middle School, in May 2020, this article "Listening to Teacher Wang Kai Talk about "Tang Poems and the Legend of a City" has the following paragraphs:
Teacher Wang said: "Luoyang is the dance hall of talents. The originator of the talent is Jia Yi of Luoyang. Since Jia Sheng, Luoyang Caizi has become a common name. But as far as the Tang and Song dynasties are concerned, not to mention Li Bai, Meng Haoran, Jia Dao, Li Shangyin, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Su Zhi, Li Qingzhao, Li Gefei, who went to Luoyang, nor about Song Zhiwen, Shen Baizhi, Du Xianyan, Chen Ziang, Wang Wei, Gao Shi, Bai Juyi, Meng Jiao, Du Mu, Han Yu, Wang Changling, Wei Yingwu, Wei Zhuang, Ouyang Xiu, Sima Guang, but as far as Luoyang's local poets, such as Zhang Shuo, Du Fu, Zu Yong, Wang Wan, Liu Yuxi, Yuan Shu, Li He, etc., are enough to make you stunned. ”
Therefore, Luoyang is the hometown of poets. With its profound cultural heritage, Luoyang has nurtured generations of art and literary masters, and attracted countless scribes from all over the world. All poets can naturally integrate into Luoyang's landscapes, city streets and alleys, take inspiration from this great poetry capital, and dedicate their talents to this great poetry capital. ”
These words are the same as the news released by Henan official media some time ago. People are concerned about what kind of verses are written, but some people always care about where the poet is? It's not about which is more important and which is not, it depends on where your focus is? The great director Tsui Hark was born in Vietnam, but why is it always said that he is a Hong Kong director?
In essence, because the concept of cultural tourism continues to heat up, various places are competing to tap historical and cultural resources. Even more ridiculous competition for the hometown of celebrities, it is estimated that Zhuge Liang and Li Bai do not know where his current hometown is? Even when the hometowns of Ximen Qing, Pan Jinlian and Sun Wukong are vying for it, it is understandable that many places have become extremely sensitive to history.
Back to "Chang'an 30,000 Li", as of today, the box office has already exceeded 1.7 billion, ranking second in the box office of animated films.
Although the box office cannot represent all of them, it can at least represent the audience's liking. However, just when everyone was concerned about the poetry, someone jumped out and said that everyone was concerned about where to meet. So please tell everyone, exactly met on the street? Eat at that restaurant? Who is the companion? How many dishes did you order? How many taels of wine did you drink?
The previous article about "Chang'an 30,000 Li" was concerned by many friends, and there were many insightful and literate people in the message. Of course, there are also the attacks and invectives of those who write five typos and four and a half, and who do not learn and have no skills. That is, these people make the kind and simple people and fellow villagers in neighboring provinces bear the infamy.
In fact, Mr. Wang Kai obviously loves the land under his feet, as he said, "When history gradually drifts away, through the distant time and space, the charm of Luoyang is still faintly discernible, and Luoyang's memories are still endless." ”
In fact, as a Chinese, Xi'an is happy to see the development of neighboring provinces, and even more praises history. But to develop, we must not be overly obsessed with history and cannot extricate ourselves. Xi'an's development is neither an overnight leap, nor can it be developed just by turning the pages of history books.
On August 15, Xinhua News Agency published an article that included the following paragraph: Xi'an is the geometric center of the National Geographic and the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, and has an important strategic position of connecting the east and the west and connecting the north and the south. At the same time, it is also the hub node and assembly center of China-Europe train with a clear construction and development plan for China-Europe train, with significant trunk transportation and regional distribution functions, and the shortest average distance, fastest speed and lowest average cost to major cities across the country. It has been clearly shown that history can only represent the past, but the most important thing is still the present and the future.
I like this paragraph in Mr. Wang Kai's article: "The first poem Teacher Wang first recommended is Wu Zetian's "Wax Day Xuan Zhao Xingxing Shangyuan", Wu Zetian herself has too much involvement in Luoyang, she has staged too many stories here, and it has been talked about by people so far, Teacher Wang said that we should look at Wu Zetian from an objective point of view today, and her talent is indelible." "This is a unique existence in Luoyang, and the story of this period has been presented a lot in Tsui Hark's films. Why didn't you see anyone come out to boycott? However, it is also a time with rich stories for most people. Not enough for tourism?
