From Yu Ji to Pan Jinlian,
Why Chinese women's stories are always counterintuitive
Liu Zhenyun
Tell us about the relationship between stories and reality.
The relationship between story and reality is the most important thing for every people. Why this nation produces such a story and not that kind of story, it must be reality telling the story to produce such a story. Why a nation produces such a reality, it must be the story of this nation that tells the reality of this society that should produce such a reality.
This is the relationship between reality and ideals, the relationship between reality and "unattainable reality", and the dialectical push and rolling of stories and reality reveal the secrets of this nation.
Yu Ji, Yang Yuhuan, Pan Jinlian are familiar to everyone, right? Today we will mainly talk about the important role of these people in China's history. They have moved the pointer of time and space for our nation at a crucial moment in history.

Yu Ji
Let's talk about Yu Ji.
Yu Ji found someone, that is, Xiang Yu. What kind of person is Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu is a person with very good killing skills and very poor deception skills.
The Hongmen banquet was a major turning point between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. If the overlord killed Liu Bang at the Hongmen banquet, then the history of China is not the history of the present, why?
Even though Xiang Yu has made a thousand mistakes, he still has one quality, honesty, loyalty, and faithfulness to his friends. But who is Liu Bang? is a rogue, has no faith, and words never count, but he finally became the ancestor of Han Gao, what is the education of such history for people?
Then came to Prime Minister Cao Cheng, who had a famous saying - it is better for me to bear the people of the world than for the people of the world to be responsible for me - Chinese since the words of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, there is no honesty and clarity in the eyes. All that appeared was a sly look.
For the Olympic Games, the girl with the protocol had to stick chopsticks in her chopsticks for many days to practice a smile, and the smile was even more fake. What kind of credit is it that denounces the economy, politics, and social culture of this nation?
This proves that Yu Ji is looking for an honest and incompetent person, a person who is particularly short-sighted. Where is the shortness? Will not play intrigue.
It is such a woman who interprets our saddest love story in China with such a short-sighted man, called "Farewell My Concubine". The reality that such a story tells us is that "I would rather I bear the burden of the world than let the people of the world fail me".
Is that good? Why the current day is like this, we can see from Yu Ji.
In this way, there is no social or political value, only a great love story of artistic value, which will only be interpreted and will not have any effect on reality. Why is Overlord Farewell Concubine so touching? The honest man is unlucky in the end, and all those who watch the show will be especially sympathetic, but this sympathy is very cheap.

Yang Yuhuan
Let me talk about Yang Yuhuan again.
Who is Yang Yuhuan? All touching stories of our nation are anti-chaste, anti-programmatic, anti-moral, and anti-human.
Yang Yuhuan turned out to be the concubine of King Shou, and eventually became the wife of Emperor Xuanzong. In reality, which one can marry his daughter-in-law into the family, I don't expect the people here to do it, but he did. Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty wrote a "Long Hate Song", and Mr. Bai was confused and did not grasp the essence of this thing.
There is also Wu Zetian. Who is Wu Zetian? She and Yang Yuhuan are exactly the opposite. Anti-pickpocket ashes. The history of pickpocketing and counter-pickpocketing forms such a touching story.
When we follow common sense, we ignore other common sense. "You are not a human being, you are an animal", these are the curse words. But my ancestor Liu Bang told people everywhere that I was not born of life, but that my mother encountered a snake when she went up the mountain to cut grass. There is a swear saying in Beijing that "a girl is born", if everyone is familiar with the Bible, where did our Lord come from? If you have studied the Buddhist scriptures, where did Shakyamuni come from?
The people who make these rules will never follow them. Those who set these morals will never abide by them. The common sense of everyday people is prescribed by people of extraordinary sense, and we are living according to common sense, but should we think about where this common sense comes from? It's from common sense.

Pan Jinlian
Let me talk about Pan Jinlian.
The great women in Chinese history that I just mentioned have a common feature of wandering between two men. The mink cicada is walking between father and son, Yang Yuhuan is also walking between father and son, and so is Wu Zetian. Walking between two men who violate the bottom line of humanity.
Pan Jinlian, like them, also wandered between two men, but she couldn't ask for it. It is said that she is a beautiful person. But from a bitter beginning, he grew up in a thousand families. The big family wanted her to wander between the two, and Pan Jinlian did not agree at this time. This proves that she observes chastity at the beginning, which is good in nature, but a person cannot be good.
Then the big family asked him to marry a disabled person, and this profound lesson made Pan Jinlian know that it is useless for me to follow this rule, and I will learn from Sable Cicada, Yang Yuhuan, and Wu Zetian. This was an ambition she set the morning after marrying Wuda.
So she's looking for heroes. The hero came, it was Wu Song, who had killed a tiger.
It snowed, Wusong returned from Yamen, and his brother went out for takeout. She told Wu Song that uncle let's drink together, she drank too much, Wu Song also drank too much. After drinking a lot, she pondered that other heroines can travel between father and son, why can't I travel between brothers? Is it more contrary to the three principles and five constants to wander between father and son, or is it more observant of the three principles and five constants between brothers?
Who is to blame for not succeeding, blame Wusong. It can be seen that he is not a hero. If he had the bosom of Wang Yun, Emperor Taizong, Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Xuanzong, there would not have been such a tragedy. He is a normal person.
After things failed, Pan Jinlian felt that she really lived in a society of ignorance and mediocrity. If it doesn't work to wander between brothers, can I wander between non-brothers? So she began her next experiment, with Ximen Qing, but it didn't work.
Why have the previous women, whether it is Sable Cicada, Yu Ji, Wu Zetian and Yang Yuhuan, have become national heroes, and we are all praised as positive characters in poetry, literary novels, and dramas, while Pan Jinlian is always scolded?
What she did was nothing more than those people – she poisoned only one person. How many people did Sable Cicada, Yang Yuhuan, and Wu Zetian kill? Wu Zetian even dared to strangle his own daughter.
The first few national heroes attached a condition, politics. Pan Jinlian is love. Love can be shameless and rise to nobility after being attached to politics. Love is just love, which is why Pan Jinlian failed. If Pan Jinlian had taken a ride with Emperor Xuanzong or Emperor Taizong, would there still be such a problem? This is a particularly noteworthy place for Chinese history.
When is the most thorough and deepest manifestation of human nature? Love. But what kind of results will Chinese human nature lead to when combined with love and social elements? More important than this is what we see as a noble story and what we see as a story of a thousand fingers. This is the relationship between reality and story.

Sun Erniang
"Water Margin" also writes about a woman, a murderous woman, Sun Erniang, the biggest difference between this woman and the previous women is that she has no rules. She and Wuda are a profession, both sell buns, Wuda buns are pork, Sun Erniang buns are human flesh. When watching "Water Margin", I saw that Sun Erniang's murderous operation room was full of sunlight. How dark is a society before sunlight comes out of the killing room?
Let's review the fate of these women. The mink cicada is missing, Yu Ji committed suicide, Yang Yuhuan was killed, Pan Jinlian was killed, and Sun Erniang was killed.
This is the inspiration these women gave us, illustrating two words - insight. What insight do we Chinese? From the Qin Dynasty to these eras, there was no difference between the structure of the economy and the structure of society, including the establishment of social order. If a nation has not turned for thousands of years, it is troublesome.
Who is Liang Shanbo the most knowledgeable? Song Jiang. These people are killing people and setting fires, and Song Jiang also has to think about the future for everyone. But is it called insight when considering the future? The path chosen by the brethren, after thinking for such a long time, is no different from the path of another society, or recruit peace.
Fundamentally speaking, the formation of the national system has a character, and the formation of character is forged by the environment. Although China is coastal, it extends to the west, southwest and northwest, all of which are landlocked and a landlocked country. The biggest feature of landlocked countries is that they make a living from farming. Where did the three principles and five constants come from? It is produced from the crop field. Parents are there, not far away. The most run-loving person in Chinese history said that it was the second slippery, the duty of a person who farms the land. When I was a child, in our village, 95 percent of the people were 30 miles around me in my life.
What is the resulting order and morality? Yours is yours and mine is mine. Your family's land is your family's land, and our family's land is our family's land. If you go to someone else's field and take a crop, it's called stealing. This is the Ida system.
But this is not the case with marine peoples, which get up early in the morning to go to the sea to fish, and who fishes counts whom, this is the biggest difference between land peoples and sea peoples.
China does not produce watts, but it is the biggest victim of watts. It turned out that fishing in front of the house, Watt produced a steam engine, and these people launched the Opium War, the Sino-Japanese Sea War. How weak is China at this time? One wolf ran over and bit our mother, and the other wolf ran over, and our mother cut a piece of meat and threw it on the ground for the wolf to grab.
Therefore, I suggest that you can look longer and we can have a better, different image of women and images of men. I'm trying to do these things too.
