When it comes to historical documentaries, the impression is always boring and serious, but there is a documentary that has a different feeling...
People who have seen it say that this is a bit like the Chinese version of "bad history", with wild and strange ideas, which is very subversive of our perception of the image of historical figures...
Some time ago, its third season was officially launched, with a duration of about 30 minutes per episode, which is very in line with the viewing rhythm of children and young people.
Today, the editor will take out this treasure documentary "Those Things in History 3" suitable for all ages and share it with you~

It's not good to make a "stalk" of historical documentaries
Not a good sitcom
The third season of "Those Things in History" still continues the narrative style of the first two seasons of "a serious nonsense".
Speaking of Li Shizhen and his "Compendium of Materia Medica", the production team called this great pharmacologist the uncrowned king of Chinese naturalism, the first person to reverse the scroll of the Tai Hospital, and the lonely gourmand in the mountains.
Song Yingxing, who wrote "Heavenly Creations", is likened to: a humanoid encyclopedia, a resonator of Darwin, and a reader who knows how to farm the most.
It even pointed out that Li Bai, who worshiped the general Pei Min as his teacher and learned swordsmanship, "has an impure purpose", saying that he "Li Bai dances the sword, and intends to take the public examination" (Li Bai don't listen to it, it's a bad review).
Because according to the "Tang Liudian", people who have a criminal record and are engaged in industry and commerce are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, but Li Bai was born in a merchant family, and won the emperor's appreciation through sword dancing, which became a limited way for him to become an official.
Later, the poet who was frustrated with Xuanzong was "given money back" and left Chang'an and began to ask for immortals, and the copywriters said that he had opened a "pure" version of Xianxia life.
is such a historical documentary that does not follow common sense, can you imagine that it is still telling the touching love story of Xun Cang and his wife in the last second, and the next second it will directly switch to "King Guojun cools down Huanhuan's human flesh in the snow"?
In the Wei and Jin dynasties when appearance was justice, Xun Cang firmly believed that women's virtue was useless, beauty was the most important, and he also practiced his face control proposition to the end, after the death of his beautiful wife due to illness, Xun Cang also died of grief in less than two years, at the age of twenty-nine.
As a historical documentary with profound connotations, "Those Things in History 3" also gave us many "pertinent" life suggestions, such as:
"No matter what dynasty it is, it is probably not enough to engage in art.
Even if you are Tang Bohu. ”
“忍一时风平浪静，凭啥我忍？
Take a step back and open the sky, why don't you retreat?"
I believe that when many people watch this film, they will feel like they have been hit in the knee like the editor.
In the third episode, the middle-aged entrepreneur Hu Ying was appreciated by Fan Zhongyan, and the two incarnated as the "Zong (Injustice) Zhong (Species) Combination" to establish a county school in Suzhou, and began to try to teach by subject, this educational concept was 700 years ahead of the West, and sent a large number of astronomy, military, arithmetic, and water conservancy talents to the Northern Song Dynasty.
When introducing the successful experience of the two entrepreneurs, the bigwigs behind the scenes said this:
Hu Ying saw the pain points of education in the Northern Song Dynasty, found a starting point in the vertical segmentation field, and decided to connect related formats in series and use his rich examination experience to empower the education industry. ”
It's really like listening to your words, like listening to a seat.
Of course, as the "master of the family" of the historical documentary of Station B, the production team ridiculed Party A's father and did not relent.
When it came to Tang Bohu's middle-aged and had to sell Spring Palace paintings for the livelihood of his family, the buyer asked a rather sharp question:
"Can't you try it for 6 minutes for free?"
"What 6 minutes, pay the membership fee to be eligible to buy the full version. ”
(This is the point of whom, I don't say)

Learn some marketing methods & workplace routines from the ancients
How can a documentary with such a new path be done without some real dry goods? The wisdom of the predecessors shown in "Those Things in History" is indeed worthy of careful study by every worker.
For example, Zheng Banqiao, who uses poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing to create his own media matrix.
In the Qianlong period, he keenly touched the marketing method of "salt merchants who are willing to pay three taels of silver to buy paintings, and they don't care about paying three taels more", and became the first ancient literati to clearly mark the price of their paintings.
In addition, he also carried out a comprehensive and clear packaging and deep digging of his own works.
"The subject matter is mainly orchid bamboo, and at least 40 years of painting must be made;
Inscription poems, seals, couplets can be added, painted on the inscription poems, poems under the seal, and then with a hand of six and a half points of calligraphy, non-Kai non-subordinate, non-line non-seal, regular script has both subordination, and the line of grass with the seal, particularly strange kind;
As long as someone comes, no matter what happens, they will add an authentic seven-word quatrain similar to 'thousands of blows and strength, let the east, west, south and north wind' be added, which will have a lot of face;
Engraving must not be inferior to the famous masters of the Zhejiang school, the inscription poems must be in a variety of forms, with the theme of painting, half of the poems and paintings, regardless of so many rules, it is a word, play. ”
And Yuan Mei, who was his contemporary, studied how to run a private garden to the extreme.
Because of dissatisfaction with the darkness of officialdom, Yuan Mei, who was only 33 years old, chose to be in the prime of life, bought a garden on Cao Xueqin's ancestor, and successfully built it into the first garden in the south of the Yangtze River, and performed a wonderful drama of civil servants who went to the sea to start a business again.
He has been chasing freedom all his life, resigned and retired in the prime of life, engaged in decoration in middle age, traveled in the mountains and rivers in his twilight years, wrote the horror novel "Zi Bu Silent", opposed foot binding, advocated women's education, and also complained about three obedience and four virtues.
Finally, when the deadline is approaching, he sighs, "For thousands of years, there will be someone who knows me." Its advanced "five-step business strategy" is quite valuable even today.
The first step is to make full use of the land in the garden and rent the fields on the east and west sides to nearby farmers, which can not only collect rent but also solve the problem of food supply;
Step 2: Give full play to your personal expertise and write an epitaph for a wealthy salt merchant to raise construction funds;
Step 3: Contact the publisher to publish the book, create a personal IP, and increase popularity;
Step 4: Hire a highly skilled cooking master to create a dream recipe "Sui Yuan Food List";
Step 5: Tear down the garden wall, let the people visit at will, and raise cranes, herons, and squirrels...... Lantern festivals are held from time to time, and colorful lanterns are hung in the garden, and singers are hired to play and sing to create a dream garden show.
Under the operation of Yuan Mei, the popularity of the park skyrocketed, and even to the extent that the threshold needed to be changed twice a year. If the Jia family's Grand View Garden can be operated like this, will there be a different situation?
As for the seventh episode of "Chang'an Workplace Strategy", it shows a comprehensive guide to workplace survival in the Tang Dynasty, bringing you hundreds of millions of points for reference.
First of all, it is a skillful workplace PUA, when the intern Du Fu applied to the leader Li Linfu to become a regular, the old fritter Li Linfu replied like this:
"As long as you have been working at the grassroots level, you can be sympathetic to the people's feelings, and you are also working for the welfare of the people of the world, so why should you care about an official position?"
After Du Fu argued with reason, Li Linfu played a set of classic Taijiquan methods:
"Our company is now doing a decentralized enabler, you have a certain amount of personal private domain traffic, but you lack the ability to couple with the market, and you don't have a good grasp to realize the transformation of your own value. ”
In the end, the conversation can only go into an infinite loop......
"If you don't give me a job, where do I get the experience?"
"You have no work experience, how can I trust you with a job?"
Beat the workers, and defeat completely.
In addition to Du Fu, the film also makes an accurate analysis and positioning of professionals with different starting points and different personalities:
- Chen Ziang is rich, Wang Wei is beautiful, and the two have a high starting point and good resources;
- Du Fu and Meng Haoran are full of poems and books, but their sexual pattern is not good for a limited time, and they have no chance with their official careers;
- Liu Yuxi is unruly, and he enjoys himself wherever he goes;
- Han Yu is talented and hardworking, and finally gains fame and fortune.
After reading it, I have to sigh: Sure enough, character determines fate.

Take a look at their life choices vs bitterness and joy
This season's director once left a message under the first episode of "Zhang Zeduan and His Qingming Riverside Picture", hoping to bring a little inspiration to our current life through the happiness, troubles and sorrows of these historical celebrities.
Therefore, there is no lack of deep thinking and human warmth in "Those Things in History 3".
In the eyes of the world, Tang Bohu is a suave Jiangnan genius, in fact, since he was 25 years old, he has been facing the successive deaths of his parents, wife, children and sisters.
finally regrouped his spirit and won Xie Yuan, thinking that he would soon be able to rise to prominence, but he was permanently deposed from his qualification due to a fraud case, and he came out of prison, first divorced by his step-room, and then fell seriously ill.
Even if he later met Shen Jiuniang, a confidant, and had a peach blossom hermitage that could escape the wind and rain, he would inevitably have to work hard for his livelihood, and the dignified genius would be helpless to sell Spring Palace paintings at a lower price.
With his thousands of talents, he can't withstand all kinds of difficulties of fate. The name Bohu was only because the white tiger was regarded as a bad star in the ancient astrological signs, and the desperate Tang Yin compared himself to the lonely star of the sky.
Tang Bohu once thought that his life was a tragedy, but in the end he found that this life was just a farce.
The same uninhibited Li Bai also failed to escape the tricks of fate, and in the first half of his life, he tried his best to enter the office, thinking that he would "look up to the sky and laugh and go out", and he would soon be able to realize his life ideal of fighting in the border fortress.
But the old-eyed Xuanzong only regarded him as an idle companion for his own drinking and pleasure.
In the past, Li Bai had a dream, about chivalry, about his family and country, about the journey of going into battle to kill the enemy, and now Li Bai drinks late at night, and the sound of broken dreams when the cups touch together.
Even if his career is complete and his life is as smooth as Bai Juyi, he also has the regret that he never has time to say goodbye to Yuan Zhen. In the same year, they became secretaries and provincial school scholars together, starting a lifelong friendship.
However, the two spent only seven years together, and in the long separation that followed, they could only express their hearts through poetry, and time, distance, and even death did not completely separate them, and the New Yuefu Movement also came into being in this period.
In 831 A.D., Yuan Zhi died of a violent illness due to political struggle, and in the fifteen years after he left, Bai Juyi still often missed this close friend, "The king buried the mud and bones under the spring, and I sent the world full of snow", living alone is also a kind of sadness.
History is never just cold, it is also composed of vivid people and things, although these shining names have been with history for a long time, but in their short lives, they are still full of regret and loss.
When enjoying the documentary, you might as well find the shining points of interest from these scattered clips, and then connect these knowledge together through the long study in the future, with more and more such relaxed and witty works appearing, I believe that history will be particularly "interesting".
