Chapter 19: A Low-Cost Epic
After Lin Xiaoshu joined, it took less than two weeks for everyone to preliminarily complete the video of "Historical Map of China". As for the title of the film, after discussion, the official name is "A Forty-Five-Minute Review of China's Historical Map".
This film belongs to the category of low-cost historical science and education films. In the eyes of many people, science and education films are often synonymous with boring. There are many directors who produce feature films, and there are also many documentaries, but there are often very few science and education films.
It is precisely because of the small number that it is easy to attract attention.
Especially the classmates and teachers in the film school, who hasn't watched hundreds or thousands of feature films? No matter how awesome the feature film is, it is difficult to make the teachers and students of Beiying feel it.
But a video like "A Forty-Five-Minute Review of China's Historical Map" that looks back on the changes in China's historical territory is different.
The teachers and students in the film academy have seen all kinds of tricks. But such a simple work is still very rare. So much so that this video is actually the same for viewers with high connoisseurship and viewers with low connoisseurship.
As long as you have a sense of identity with Chinese history and culture, if Bgm is more sensational, you can make this humble film have a strange attraction.
After the video was made, Du Jie, who studied photography, was responsible for editing and editing the video. Later, Wang Qinian looked for some Bgm "1492 Conquest of Heaven", "Themass", "Croatian Rhapsody", "Exodus", "The Flying Valkyrie", and "The Original Scenery of the Hometown......
Although these Bgm are not quite the same as those used in the 4o minute version of the "Detailed Version of the Historical Map of China" video in the 2o14 edition, the sensational effect is a little worse.
However, Wang Qinian's version of the "Detailed Version of the Historical Map of China" also has a certain sensational effect after being enhanced by these famous Bgms.
Next, Wang Qinian and others began to take their works to their classmates and teachers in the school to watch their works.
Although it was circulated on a small scale, the fame of "Forty-five Minutes Review of China's Historical Map" directed by Wang Qinian still spread.
"My heart has broken a few times! The first time was for the heartbreak of the Han Empire, and the second time was for the Tang Dynasty! It used to be so brilliant and great...... "That's what a girl from the acting department said.
"After being educated, I thought it would be boring, but after reading it for more than half an hour, I didn't feel bored at all!" This is a senior in some senior.
"I'd like to watch it a few more times!" A senior sister said.
"The lowest cost epic, the epic does not come from the skills of the people, but more from the thick history of ancient China. It reminds people of Taishi Gong's "Historical Records", which is rhymeless! A teacher commented.
Assuming that foreigners who do not agree too much with Chinese history, after watching this video, at most they only feel that it is a record of the exhibition and changes in China's historical territory.
But as a descendant of Yan and Huang, seeing this video, my mind will inevitably arouse national feelings.
In the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Chinese civilization expanded little by little, and in the East, the fire of civilization was ignited. It's surprising that the Chinese civilization at the beginning covered so little?
Then, in the era of the Spring and Autumn War, the princes competed for hegemony. The Great Qin Empire swallowed mountains and rivers and showed on the map of the vassal states one by one, and the mountains and rivers were dyed in one color, and laid the foundation of the Han land.
The Great Qin Empire was briefly unified and quickly collapsed.
The rebel armies from all walks of life competed in the world, and Liu Bang's Han regime won. In the early days of the establishment of the Han Empire, the Han Empire, which seemed crumbling at first, was oppressed by the Xiongnu whose territory was several times larger, and a large territory was swallowed up on the map and almost destroyed. However, soon the Han Empire stabilized the country, and took back the land swallowed by the Xiongnu with profits, and the territory expanded to the north, south, and west on the basis of the Qin Empire. What is now Vietnam in Southeast Asia, as well as Central Asia, was once dyed by the Han Empire.
The powerful Xiongnu, after the rise of the Han Empire, suffered a long-term suppression, so they were divided and weakened. Some of the Huns were even chased by the Han army and fled in a hurry until Europe......
Of course, the powerful Western Han Dynasty lost a lot of territory after Wang Mang usurped the throne and established a new dynasty. Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the beginning of his rise, swept the new dynasty into the garbage heap of history, and after that, a large number of lost homelands were recaptured......
Han is strong, then Hu is weak. Hu is strong, then Han is weak......
The powerful Eastern Han Empire, in the end, gradually won and declined. After the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasty, it was weak to the limit, and Xianbei and other grassland Hulu still entered the Central Plains......
This is Wuhu Chaohua, the territory controlled by the Han people, almost wiped out, and they are struggling in the south. In terms of population, after years of war, it does not have an advantage compared with the Hu people.
Fortunately, after hundreds of years of darkness, the Hu people finally weakened.
Sui and Tang dynasties...... The revival of Chinese civilization, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, once again set a new record for the territory of the Han Empire. The modern countries of Central Asia seem to be ...... All of them were under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Empire. Shixian Li Bai, his hometown of Broken Leaf City, is the capital of modern Kyrgyzstan.
However, when Wu Zetian usurped the throne, the territory of the Tang Empire shrank rapidly. After that, it seemed impossible to restore the territory again and again.
For example, the communication between the Anxi Protectorate and the mainland was switched, and gradually, most of these territories ceased to be the domain of China forever. The Beiting capital also began to get out of control, and the Khitan rose.
After the fall of the Tang Empire, it entered the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and the mountains and rivers were broken, as if it had returned to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Fortunately, the troubled times still won the dawn, and the Northern Song Dynasty withstood the strong Khitan military pressure and completed the unification of most of the Han homeland.
Due to the mess during the disintegration of the Tang Dynasty, although the Song Dynasty unified most of the basic plates of the Han Dynasty, in terms of territory, compared with the prosperous times of the Han and Tang dynasties, it was far inferior, and in the long-term confrontation, it did not achieve the great cause of expanding the territory. The only advantage may be that the Song Dynasty was more stable internally than all previous dynasties.
Until Jin destroyed Liao, and by the way, destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty entered the Southern Song Dynasty and confronted the Jin, after which the Mongols destroyed the Jin, and then entered the process of destroying the Song Dynasty.
Although, the Mengyuan is in the territory, far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties. However, due to the adoption of barbaric rule, it was not sinicized. Therefore, the Chinese civilization was the last to be conquered by the Meng Yuan, but it was the first civilization to overthrow the Meng Yuan.
In the early days of the Ming Empire, there was also a domineering expansion trend in the Han and Tang dynasties. Unfortunately, also in the later period, the territory continued to shrink.
After the rise of the Later Jin, the Ming Dynasty was in civil strife. Then, the Later Jin changed the name of the country to the Qing Dynasty, and the Ming Empire collapsed. Although, according to the analysis of historical data, the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, the country's lockdown and various policies of ignoring the people have brought the hidden danger of poverty and weakness to the modern history of China.
But...... I have to say that the Qing Dynasty still made some contributions, and this contribution was reflected in the territory. Although the territory shrank during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, it was much higher than the average in Chinese history.
For the sake of leaving a relatively rich territorial heritage to modern China, Wang Qinian no longer shouts all day long like in his previous life, "wear a clear and don't rebel, chrysanthemum set electric drill".
The Qing Dynasty had to admit that it was reactionary, ignorant, and backward, but in addition to being reactionary, it always left a little legacy, right? It has looted the majority of the Chinese people for more than 200 years, suppressed and fooled the people in terms of science and technology and culture, and signed a bunch of treaties to lose power and humiliate the country in modern times.
However, after a long period of turmoil and the loss of a large amount of territory in modern China, the area was still somewhat larger than that of the Ming Dynasty.
The value of the territory made Wang Qinian feel forgiven for the Qing Dynasty. But at most, it is limited forgiveness, and if you want to be powdered, you still can't be powdered.
