When "The Story of Mi Yue" began to be broadcast to the public, I encountered the most intolerable question for a scholar-how to pronounce the word "Mi"? In addition, the most intolerable question for history buffs: What is so awesome about this woman named Mi Yue? Cixi and Wu Zetian have heard of it, but why have they never heard of Miyue before?
Wan'er, a master who specializes in writing historical novels, taught me that the character "Mi" is actually the ancient Chinese character for "rice". When reading rice, this woman named Mi Yue was the great-great-grandmother of Qin Shihuang, who strengthened the unification of Qin. The founder of the Six Kingdoms, the reason why she is not often mentioned in Chinese history books is probably because she was really rebellious and uninhibited throughout her life, and her love life was also colorful. She cannot be described in the mainstream culture of China for three thousand years. That's why you don't know her. She is a A woman who is even better than Wu Zetian.
Is there any woman in Chinese history who is more awesome than Wu Zetian? I didn’t believe it, so I started watching the 81-episode "The Legend of Miyue" on LeTV with such a mood. To be honest, the first few dozen episodes felt a bit like "The Legend of Zhen Huan", but after watching the 62nd In the episode, a passage between Mi Yue and her first love Huang Xie made me feel that this drama is a little more interesting than "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Two first love men and women, a campfire in the wilderness, on the way to escape, they saw their sincerity. Mi Yue talked about why she was in love back then. When she didn't elope with him, she said this: Before meeting King Qin, Yue'er only knew the love between children, and the white water is as clear as a stream. After getting to know King Qin, she realized that there is another kind of love between high banks and deep valleys in this world. ...
Sun Li did not go into detail about what is love between high shores and deep valleys, nor did the screenwriter. From my personal understanding, this probably refers to the two levels of emotion between men and women——
The most common love between men and women in the world is "child love". Sex is the core. It originates from the body and comes from hormones. It is pure and exciting like a stream. When it encounters obstacles, it is strong enough to stop it. Juliet and Romeo were devastated and earth-shattering, as were Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, but the love between children has a fatal weakness, that is, it cannot withstand the ravages of time. Romeo could have died for Juliet when he was young, but really There is no guarantee that he will not cheat after twenty years of marriage.
The so-called "eldest love between sons and daughters" is often established between two men and women with strong hearts. Sex is no longer the core. The core of their friendship is "knowing each other", in Chinese terms. It means "understanding", or "soulmate" in Western terms. It is the blending of two souls, full of appreciation and pity for each other. Just like the reason why Mi Yue truly fell in love with King Qin, it was not only admiration, but also more It was his kindness to her, "Without King Qin, Mi Yue would have always been a little girl with ordinary knowledge. When she met King Qin, Yue'er would have grown up." - The relationship between eldest children is a relationship of mutual achievement, with According to modern psychology, this is true love.
Just because of this sentence, the pattern of "The Legend of Mi Yue" is somewhat new. The biggest thing Mi Yue teaches us and the most different from Gong Dou drama is: in intimate relationships, learning and growth—— A good relationship between men and women is not about possession, let alone control, but about hoping that the other person will grow and gain more freedom and happiness.
This is precisely the different growth that Mi Yue and Zhen Huan have achieved in their close relationship. The King of Qin's high vision and foresight allowed Mi Yue to have a mind as high as the mountains and empty valleys, and she became a politician, while the King of Qing's confusion and evil-mindedness allowed Mi Yue to become a politician. This makes Zhen Huan more and more convinced that she is ruthless and ruthless, and becomes a conspirator. Although sometimes politicians are equivalent to conspirators, there are still differences in patterns between real people and fictional novels.
Among the true meanings of life that Mi Yue taught us, the most important point is: Always be a vibrant woman. Mi Yue grew up from a humble concubine to a queen mother, and it can be said that she has gone through many ups and downs. , but she always lives a full life. She is optimistic, strong, has a strong curiosity, and works hard to learn various skills. She can heal, whip, dance, embroider, and write memorials...
People are like this. The more new skills you have GET, the freer you are. Like Miyue, even when her rags are exhausted, she can still support her whole family with her good needlework. Such people, No matter what kind of life or fate you encounter, there is a sense of determination.
Always have the energy of love. The real Mi Yue is the first woman in Chinese history who has been in power for more than 40 years and has a wonderful love life after the death of her husband. History books say that Empress Dowager Xuan personally revised the book. Inviting King Yiqu to live in Ganquan Palace, where he stayed for thirty years, and even gave birth to two sons. This was something that the Qing Dynasty would not have dared to think of. Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties advocated the destruction of human desire, especially the destruction of women. Desire, Chinese women in this brainwashing culture live a boring life, but Mi Yue, who lived in the Warring States Period, lived an innocent and joyful life. When she fell in love, she fell in love, one after another. This stable and long-term emotional life was not to mention a widow. Cixi cannot compare to her, nor can she compare to Wu Zetian. According to current terms, she is an absolute winner in life.
I often feel that Mi Yue is a modern person who lived in the Warring States Period. She has a world view of modern women: for example, she does not regard marriage as the whole life, does not regard men as the whole destination, and always has her own small universe. Always live happily, she has her hobbies, her skills, and most importantly, she is particularly good at learning. This is exactly the least mentioned part of our marriage and love culture. The biggest brainwashing in male society is to promote that silly and sweet are the best. Life, as long as you get a man while you are young and beautiful, you will have a worry-free life, buy, buy, play, no need to think, no need to grow, but is this really the case?
Female researcher Zhu Hong has a wise saying: When you are young, you are silly and sweet, but when you are old, you will either resent your wife or become a shrew. Isn't this the case with Mi Shu in "The Legend of Mi Yue"? She has a noble status, she is the direct princess of Chu State, the real queen of King Qin, she is beautiful, innocent, silly and sweet, a flower-like figure, but after decades of cruel harem During the struggle, she finally turned into an evil widow with a heart as hard as a stone.
People come into this world as mere grass. No matter where they grow, they must work hard to grow and become a vibrant tree. Without a strong inner core, it cannot withstand the erosion of the dust of the world.
In fact, there is only one sentence in a thousand words: No one can be a person who gets something for nothing, whether in the workplace or in an intimate relationship, whether it is Mi Yue who lived in the Warring States Period, or us who live in this world.
