23 years ago, this classic historical drama, after a lot of ups and downs, was banned, and the copyright was sold overseas.
"Man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hong Mao, and his use is different."
In just a short sentence, it seems to see the tenacious and indomitable iron bone, and seem to understand the value of death and the end of life, the height that can be reached and the distance that can be stepped on!
We all know that this sentence comes from Sima Qian's "Book of Baoren An", the son of Sima Tan, a historian and essayist of the Western Han Dynasty, ren TaishiLing, with his historical knowledge of "investigating the time of heaven and man, through the changes of ancient and modern times, into a family", he created the first general history of the jichuan style, "Shi Ji".
Today, Wu Erjun recommends a biography of a person, entitled:Sima Qian.
The drama premiered on October 20, 1997, with a Douban score of 8.7, directed by Yang Jie, starring Qiu Yongli, Wang Quanyou, Zhang Qiuge, Xu Huanshan, Xu Shaohua and Liu Guanxiong.
Yang Jie's "Laoshan Daoist", the classic version of "Journey to the West", "Jigong", "Xi Shi", etc. have also shined, and this "Sima Qian" is even more reeling.
In just 18 episodes, Dao has exhausted Sima Qian's life, whether it is the plot or the costume of Dao, it is impeccable, and the deep and rich tragic color cannot hide Sima Qian's talent.
When Sima Qian was young, he read and read with his father, learned extensively, traveled all over the rivers and mountains, searched for anecdotes of the ancients, and experienced for many years, which gave him a deeper understanding and accumulation of historiography.
Later, Sima moved to the post of Jingren Langzhong and inherited the mission of governing history inherited from his ancestors, but was executed by Emperor Wu of Han for defending Li Lingbing's defeat.
"In the face of the punishment of the Great Expulsion, Mu Yi died, although the name can be guaranteed, but the book has not been completed, the name has not been established, this death is like the death of nine cattle, and it is no different from the death of the ants."
Atonement for his death by corrupt punishment, Sima Qian endured humiliation and burdens, carrying his father's ideals, just to complete his mission. He endured in stoicism and humiliation, which can be said to be heavier than Tarzan!
After 23 years, such an excellent historical drama has gradually drifted away, but its essence, spirit, and classics are like Sima Qian, whether you look at it or not, it is there, witnessing the unique civilization of that era and printing profound traces.
Everyone must have seen many classic historical dramas, plays created on the theme of historical events and historical figures, Which Hegel defines as "works based on the past era", and there are many excellent works in ancient and modern China and abroad.
For example, "Great Qin Empire", "Han Wu Emperor", "Daming Dynasty", "Kangxi Dynasty", "Yongzheng Dynasty", "Qianlong Dynasty", "Qu Yuan", "Wu Zetian", "Wang Zhaojun"...
And this "Sima Qian", there is always a special feeling, sentimental and tragic, inexplicable and unclear feeling.
Once forced to strand due to insufficient funds, changed the protagonist, in 1989 the project, in 1995 began filming, 1997 broadcast, if this is a bump, then more bumpy is in CCTV twice broadcast, the fate is a stone sinking into the sea.
What is even more embarrassing and even more painful is that this domestic conscience masterpiece, the copyright has been sold overseas.
Sima Qian's golden words are still in his ears, let's review a few words together:
"The mountains look up, the scenery stops, although they can't reach it, their hearts yearn for it."
"A soldier dies for a confidant, and a woman is for a person who pleases herself."
"The promise of a thousand people is not as good as the truth of a soldier."
"The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all are for profit."
"Those who combine their rights will be exhausted and their powers will be exhausted."
"Bird Bird An Zhi Hong Hu Zhi Ya"...
