The palace fight drama is still good as a next meal drama. The plot twists and turns, and the suspense overlaps. But when it comes to it, it's not good.
We first think about a question: Were there really so many palace fights in ancient times? The answer is clear: no.
Qin Lan version of Lü Hou
Liu Yuxin version of Mrs. Qi
"Mother Yi Tianxia" Zhao Feiyan sisters
Wan Guifei
The reason why Gongdou can be said to be an anecdote in ancient times is precisely because it is too rare. Lü Hou and Lady Qi, Wan Guifei poisoned the dragon species, and Zhao Feiyan sisters chaotic harem... This kind of thing can be said to be very rare.
The harem drama also gave some people the excuse of hating women, saying that "where there are more women, there are not more." Zhengshi even dared to record the fratricidal killing of the royal family and the power struggle of the upper class, how could he not dare to record the affairs of the empress dowager? It shows that there are few palace fights. The history of zhengshi does not record political battles and official battles, but not many people pay attention to it, after all, it is men who make mistakes!
"The Biography of Zhen Huan" HuaFei
Out of the psychology of hating women, some people would rather ignore the correct history than subjectively assume and force brain supplements. Don't say it's the main history, it's the wild history that likes to hunt for curiosity, and rarely mentions the palace fight.
In the historical data, the men have to smoke for power, and I have not seen them say a word.
In the palace fight drama, the early death of the prince and the empress is caused by man, can the claws of the concubines in history stretch so long? Ancient medical technology was not good, early death and early death were commonplace, and there was no need to imagine that the imperial heir who died early was killed by the queen concubine.
The Queen of Zhen Huan's Biography
Yi Xiu, the captain of the fetal squad, killed many children, whether it was a high-ranking concubine or a concubine of low birth, all of them were harmed at the same time. Is it necessary for her to be harmful? In the ancient harem, especially the Qing Palace, the empress's status was quite stable, and the children of concubines of low birth had to be left to others to raise, and what was the difficulty for the empress to have a child?
When it comes to the harem in history, there is no need for too many conspiracy theories.
Sun Ning's version of Nian Tangyao is the only character in the play who has a full-time drama fan.
For example, Yongzheng's concubine died prematurely, and some people concluded that Yongzheng deliberately designed to kill his own children. Without this need, this thinking is simply even more outrageous than the "Biography of Zhen Huan", and the pancakes in "The Biography of Zhen Huan" are at best not allowed to live. To be born and then killed, it would be too much of a move. Historically, the concubine was frail and sickly, and her children were most likely inherited from their mothers.
The "Biography of Zhen Huan" is also really outrageous, the emperor in order to cater to the courtiers to favor a concubine, in order to avoid the courtiers from leaning to the opposition and not allowing the concubines to give birth. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial power was at its peak, and a courtier could not be stopped?
"The Biography of Zhen Huan" Qi Guiren
"Ruyi Zhuan" "Stupid Meng Sect Leader" Yu Concubine
Harem dramas have many logical loopholes. The most obvious is that the vicious woman does not measure up to the point of being outrageous. Whether it is emotional intelligence or IQ, in order to set off the heroine and let the plot go ups and downs, both hang zero. For example, the Qi gui in "The Biography of Zhen Huan" has no favor and no children, and opposes the heroine everywhere. In "The Legend of Ruyi", Concubine Yu fell out of favor and dared to challenge and frame the empress.
Whether there is capital or not, whether there is the support of the emperor, we must make a work to show off our sense of existence. In ancient times, the concubines who could really make waves were all with a certain amount of capital, and even grand and grand. For example, Lady Qi, Han Gaozu pampered her to the extreme, and she had a pet and a son. Although the Zhao Feiyan sisters were childless, they were extremely favored by the emperor and had the capital to do things in heaven and earth.
Therefore, there is no need to exaggerate the power of the ancient harem pillow wind, the most important thing is the attitude of the emperor.
"The Legend of Wu Mei Niang" Queen Wang
"The Legend of Wu Mei Niang" Xiao Shufei
Influenced by palace fighting dramas, many people believe that the empresses of successive dynasties are "the champions of the last palace fighting". But is this the case? Can the empress dowager's position only be obtained through fighting? The fact is that pampering and heirs are more effective than "fighting". The attitude of the emperor is crucial to the abolition or not, and many empresses are most likely to be burdened by the offended mother's family, or have obvious major transgressions. It has little to do with Gongdou.
In the palace fight drama, the queen concubine can make the emperor fall in love with herself by means. In historical dramas, the emperor doesn't like you. How to make the means useless.
"Ruyi Zhuan" Yingfei. Some people say that the mother's family has a background is a confidence. What's the bottom line? Have the courage to hand over your daughter to someone to be a concubine?
The words and deeds of the concubines are often more like the déjà vu of the upstart wearing mink skins and cutting their feet at the high liquor party. Everything must be shown off and showed off, and the origin of the right out is suppressed everywhere. What do you say is the use of this? Are you in your mother's house, and when you enter the palace, you are still a little wife? Your children will be born in the future, so why should they look down on the concubines who are born out? It is estimated that the concubines in history did not dare to ridicule and ridicule others with the right out of the shu, because many emperors in ancient times were also out of the house, and if you have been addicted to it, you may become a great disrespectful crime.
"Step by Step" Mu Tingting version of Empress Xiaojingxian. One of the best versions. Like the young concubine in this film, the sense of presence is just right.
"Step by Step" Lu Meifang version of The Emperor's Noble Concubine Nian. It is the least well-known and most restored version among the several major Concubine versions.
In a patriarchal society, many women have become the heroines of men's amateur life. This is the case with the women of the harem. Take the imperial concubines of the Qing Dynasty, their records in history are pitifully small, that is, one hundred and eight crosses. In other words, the worse the sense of existence in film and television, the higher their authenticity. I think the best and most historical concubine is the concubine played by Lu Meifang in "Step by Step".
At the time of the fire of "The Biography of Zhen Huan", many people compared it with "Dream of the Red Chamber", which in my opinion is really a moon landing level of porcelain.
Regardless of the low literary attainment in this palace fight drama, the literary value cannot be compared with "Dream of the Red Chamber".
"The Biography of Zhen Huan" is a noble person
Humanistic feelings are not on one level. Palace fight dramas take the protagonist's three views as three views, the protagonist is right about what he does, and what the supporting characters do is wrong. And in the final analysis, the palace fight drama is a team film, and the central idea is that the position is higher than human nature. The female partners all exist to set off the existence of the heroine, and there is no meaning and value of independent existence. "Dream of the Red Chamber" does not take the protagonist's three views as three views, and each supporting role has the value of independent existence, and does not exist in order to set off the two people.
In short, in order to shape a woman to portray a group of women as low-level, inferior, vicious and stupid, "Dream of the Red Chamber" truly achieves the humanistic care for "a thousand reds and one cry, and all the yans are sad".
"Ruyi Zhuan" Huixian Emperor Guifei
"Yanxi Raiders" Huixian Emperor Concubine
The brains of ancient women were filled with three from four virtues, where was there any conspiracy and trickery? I think Huixian Emperor Guifei is really miserable, it is easy to have two film and television images, and they are both negative images. There are many such concubines, obviously there is no mistake, and the film and television are all bad women, which are more distorted than the villain camp in the main melody drama.
Jia Guifei played by Xin Zhilei in "Ruyi Zhuan"
In "The Biography of Ruyi", Jin Yuyan loves Prince Li Chao to death and live, and in "The Biography of Zhen Huan", Concubine Hua and the Empress both love the Emperor... Did the ancient harem women have such a love brain? I don't think so. Ancient imperial concubines, most of them were born in the Houmen clan, the father is a high-powered old sea king with a large number of wives and concubines, and the mother is one of the father's women. In this environment of growth, how can you believe in love?
We have heard of the concubines who died of depression because of the early death of their sons, and we have also heard of the concubines who died of depression in their mother's family, but have we ever heard of the concubines who were heartbroken because their husbands died?
Gong Dou (female) has become a measure of whether a harem woman is strong or not. Many people only know how Lü Hou abused and killed Lady Qi, but they do not know Lü Hou's ability to govern the country. Is this a woman's sorrow?
