Ji Xiaolan was a famous scholar during the Qing Dynasty, and there are many folk legends about him, and now it has been adapted into film and television works, and his stories of wisdom fighting and Yandang can be said to be well-known. In fact, The Ji Xiaolan in the film and television works is not the same as the historical Ji Xiaolan, and even the he and the adult, his image has undergone earth-shaking changes after the artistic processing of the film and television drama, which is far from the real image of hezhen in history.
In film and television works, Ji Xiaolan is a character with a sense of justice, worried about the country and the people, and his character personality is also more complicated, and there is a hint of humor mixed in a serious book, and he is a character who is quite popular with the audience. And the villain he hated by everyone also became a courtier who could only be flattered, and every time he fought with Ji Xiaolan, he fell into the inferior position. In fact, whether it is Ji Xiaolan or Hezhen, their real image is not as shown in the play.
Let's start with Wakan.
Whether it is folklore or film and television dramas, "Ji Xiaolan Zhidou and Yan" is always a topic of people's enjoyment. In fact, with Ji Xiaolan's position in the Qianlong Dynasty, it was almost impossible to clash with Hezhen, because the two were not of the same rank at all. Imagine if the governor of a province in the imperial court would clash with a knife and pen official? This is clearly unlikely. Perhaps this metaphor may be a bit exaggerated, but it truly reflects the actual status of He Yan and Ji Xiaolan in the Qianlong Dynasty.
He Yan officially entered the career in the 38th year of Qianlong, and was appointed by Qianlong as the minister of management of the treasury, responsible for managing the Buku. However, in the first month of the forty-first year of Qianlong, He Yan became the right attendant of the household department, and in March he was appointed as the minister of military aircraft, in April he was promoted to the minister of internal affairs, in August he was crowned with the yellow flag of manchuria, promoted to vice president of the National History Museum, and was also specially granted by the Qianlong Emperor to reward him with the honor of a crown of the dynasty and a horse riding in the Forbidden City.
The Sacred Family of Washu, from this can be seen in general. And what was Ji Xiaolan doing at this time? Also in the forty-first year of Qianlong, Ji Xiaolan at this time was only a bachelor's attendant of the Hanlin Academy, and soon after, he was transferred to the military department. That is to say, the career achievements made by He Yan in the forty-first year of Qianlong were not achieved by Ji Xiaolan in his lifetime. It was not until the tenth year of Jiaqing that Ji Xiaolan was named a co-founder of the university, and from the perspective of the status of the imperial court, Ji Xiaolan was not qualified to become a rival of Hezhen during the Qianlong period.
The reason why He Yan was able to be valued so much by the Qianlong Emperor was naturally because in addition to being reliable, he was also very good at guessing the Holy Will. The historical Hezhen was handsome, able to write well, and his pavilion style was a must in the Qing Dynasty, and even the Qianlong Emperor praised him, often looking for him to transcribe his own poems. However, in the film and television works, He yan became a fat man with a slippery tongue and a very obscene tongue, and he would only flatter Qianlong all day long, which was far from the real image of Hezhen in history.
Let's talk about Ji Xiaolan.
Ji Xiaolan's image in film and television works is very distinct, resourceful, and very full of sense of justice, and he will always be a serious and upright gentleman in film and television works. In fact, such a Ji Xiaolan is not the true image of Ji Xiaolan. Not to mention the difference in personality, just from the appearance point of view, the historical Ji Xiaolan is not the tall and handsome appearance of Teacher Zhang Guoguo. Moreover, Ji Xiaolan is not a person with sharp teeth, he speaks with a slight stutter, and his eyes are short-sighted, and he always squints when looking at people.
Ji Xiaolan's talent, that is absolutely needless to say, it is not too much to call it a full belly. However, because Ji Xiaolan's appearance was unpleasant and even somewhat obscene and ugly, it was never reused in the Qianlong Dynasty. However, because Ji Xiaolan did have real talent and learning, Qianlong always took him with him and took him on a tour of the south. So don't be deceived by a serious Ji Xiaolan on TV, he who seems to be serious is actually not serious at all.
In addition to compiling the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book", Ji Xiaolan himself also wrote a book in his later years called "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", which is his masterpiece and the embodiment of the essence of his life's thoughts. However, if you really read this book, you will find that Ji Xiaolan, who seems to be a serious book, has actually written this kind of book? After reading it, it is simply ruining, the festival is broken, and the plot of his book is bizarre, even Pu Songling's "Liaozhai Zhiyi" may not be able to compare.
"Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" can actually be seen as a collection of stories, which is full of all kinds of absurd and bizarre stories, and the weight of taste is absolutely beyond people's imagination. For example, there are two old Confucians who walk at night, but get lost in a cemetery, and then they meet an old man, and the old man asks the two not to be afraid, telling them that there are no ghosts in this world, and also quoting the scriptures Barabala to explain. As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he flew away as a wisp of green smoke, and one operation frightened the two old Confucians enough.
In "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", there is a more bizarre plot than this. For example, in the thirteenth volume of Huaixi Magazine III, Ji Xiaolan tells the absurd story of a dragon forcing a tenant old man. Those who are interested can go and read it, which will absolutely shatter your three views. The real Ji Xiaolan in history, like the book he wrote, was full of absurd style all his life, which may be related to his experience that he has not been valued by Qianlong. Of course, although the plot of the book written by Ji Xiaolan is really absurd and bizarre, it enjoys a high status in the history of literature and is a classic in the novels of the Qing Dynasty
