The art of Chinese opera has a long history, and it is mainly composed of three different art forms: folk song and dance, rap and burlesque.

In all kinds of opera works, there is no shortage of content involving the emperor, for actors in the feudal era, playing the emperor is not a joke, there are many rules, especially the emperor of this dynasty, if you don't do it well, you will incur the disaster of killing.

First of all, you have to arrange the props of the dragon robe, you can't go over, the quality of the dragon robe, the number of dragon claws, there are strict requirements, for the use of the dragon robe of the previous dynasty is slightly looser.

The "Emperor Tianwu" in front of Zhu Cihong is wearing a dragon robe that is actually similar to a four-clawed python robe, and the quality of the clothes is just ordinary clothing.

The style is also slightly different, with the costume replacing the emperor's yellow silk dragon robe with a yellow robe with large sleeves and a large waist.

When the "Emperor Tianwu" on the stage called himself, he did not call himself me, but used a widow.

Because since Qin Shi Huang became the emperor, the king does not need to be a "widow", and he uses it for the prince, but acting, it is necessary to avoid the emperor's ridicule, and the prince does not have such a big name.

Before the Tianwu Dynasty, there was one of the most important taboos for the drama to play the emperor, not to get involved in politics!

The actor cannot play the emperor of the current dynasty, let alone involve the affairs of the current dynasty and the affairs of the previous dynasty.

Even if you play the emperor of the previous dynasty, you can't mention things that have anything to do with this dynasty, let alone have the slightest implication with the emperor of this dynasty!

In ancient times, the social status of the opera was low, equal to the status of prostitutes, and the drama was equivalent to an insult to the emperor and the imperial court, which was punishable by capital punishment.

After the Tianwu New Deal, Zhu Cihong abolished this restriction for the development of the cultural undertakings of the Ming Dynasty.

However, there are also some relative restrictions, such as when playing the emperor of this dynasty, it cannot imply irony, nor can it contradict the national policy, but can only praise it.

The group of actors in front of Zhu Cihong is obviously eulogizing the strength of the Ming Dynasty and promoting the scene of all countries coming to the dynasty.

Zhu Cihong can see that the big-name protagonist who plays himself is extremely cautious and cautious, he doesn't have many lines, and the main performance is in his demeanor.

The actor used strong artistic means to infinitely raise the image of 'Emperor Tianwu', which attracted unanimous applause from the audience.

Zhu Cihong also smiled and applauded, and shouted hello, and rewarded ten silver yuan.

His actions caused Queen Xu to giggle.

After the play of "Treasure of All Nations", the "Emperor Tianwu" on the stage wiped the fine cold sweat on his forehead and breathed a long sigh of relief.

No one knows that his heart is trembling on thin ice, playing such a great emperor, or the Tianwu Emperor of the current dynasty, if he fails to act, not only will he be scolded by the audience, maybe the government will also find him to drink tea.

Fortunately, this performance was quite successful, and a young boy actually rewarded ten silver yuan!

No wonder he can marry such a beautiful wife, now in this world, there are not many people with rich gold and good hearts, may God bless him!

The actor smiled slightly, and nodded at Zhu Cihong in the audience to thank him, even if it was behind the scenes, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and did not insult the role of Emperor Tianwu.

It's just that he didn't know that the Tianwu Emperor himself played was actually standing in the crowd, and it was still the rich boy who he had just thanked himself.

If he knew, it was estimated that he would be able to blow for eight lifetimes!

After watching this play, Prince Zhu and His Majesty had almost finished playing, and ran over with lanterns.

He happily talked about how many new friends he had made, and said that a child said that he was a rich second generation and expressed his willingness to make friends with him.

As he spoke, Zhu He Majesty pointed in the direction of the merchant's car and said, "It's him, the tallest one." ”

Zhu Cihong looked at it and saw a fierce-looking child in his teens smirking at this side.

Xu Chenyun next to him bent down, lovingly arranged the prince's clothes, and asked with a smile: "Then have you asked his name, and will you have the opportunity to play together again in the future?" ”

The prince nodded and replied, "Yes, he said his name is Li Guangdi." ”

"Lee Kwang-di......."

Zhu Cihong muttered and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

This Li Guangdi is really extraordinary, he has an observant heart at a young age, and judges the extraordinary nature of Prince Zhu and His Majesty from his behavior.

No wonder he can become a big celebrity and evergreen tree in the history of the Kangxi Dynasty, standing in the officialdom for decades as a Hanchen without falling, he has been impeached by people many times by pigtails, but he has been pardoned by Kangxi many times.

The family of three continued to play, and Zhu Cihong took his wife and children to the world's first tower outside the Jubaomen (Zhonghua Gate).

"The first tower" is the official name of the Ming Dynasty, and the folk call it the glazed tower of the Great Bao'en Temple.

Today is the Lantern Festival temple fair, the commercial area, tea workshops, wine shops, shops around the glazed tower of Dabao'en Temple stand side by side, extremely lively, it is the whole Nanjing into a lively commercial area.

The glazed pagoda of Dabao'en Temple is built by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di to commemorate Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, using 100,000 military service and people, which lasted 19 years and cost nearly 2.5 million taels of silver to build.

The construction of Da Bao En Temple is extremely exquisite, and it is built in full accordance with the standards of the imperial palace, which is resplendent and brilliant day and night.

The scale of the whole temple is extremely large, there are more than 30 palaces, hundreds of monasteries and corridors, dozens of scripture rooms, it is the largest and highest standard temple in Chinese history, and it is the first of the hundred temples.

From afar, Zhu Cihong saw the towering glazed pagoda of Bao'en Temple, about 80 meters high, nine floors and eight sides, and a hundred meters around, which is equivalent to a 26-story building.

The glazed pagoda has a total of nine floors, and there are 166 permanent lamps inside and outside, each core is about one inch thick, and it looks very dazzling at night.

From its construction in the early Ming Dynasty to its destruction by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the glazed pagoda of Dabao'en Temple has been the tallest building in southern China and a miracle in the history of world architecture for more than 400 years.

Together with the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the Great Wall of China, the glazed pagoda of Dabao'en Temple is known as one of the seven wonders of the medieval world, and is regarded by Westerners as one of the landmark buildings representing Chinese culture.

In 1839, Hans Christian Andersen mentioned in The Garden of Heaven: "I (a boy named Dongfeng) had just come from China, and I danced around the porcelain tower, and all the bells jingled!" ”

The porcelain tower here is the glazed tower of Dabao'en Temple.

Zhu Cihong entered the gate of Dabao'en Temple, only to see that the temple was brightly lit, the crowd was surging, and the liveliness was no worse than that on the street.

A gust of wind blew by, blowing dozens of wind chimes on the glazed pagoda, making a series of crisp sounds, which made people feel refreshed and happy.

Zhu Cihong and Xu Chenyun were tired of shopping, so they sat and chatted under the porch, chatting while watching the tourists coming and going.

In addition to the Ming natives, there are also some Central Asians and Europeans, red, white, brown, black, and hair of various colors.

In the fifteenth year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty also came here when he came to Nanjing.

Historically, Kangxi and Qianlong, the two deflated calves, also came here many times to visit the glazed pagoda when they went down to the south of the Yangtze River, Kang Mazi praised the poem, and Qianlong wrote a plaque for the ten old thieves.

After the First Opium War, the British went to Nanjing to sign the Treaty of Nanjing with the Qing court, and the British troops on the warships went ashore one after another to visit this ancient oriental building that appeared in Western literature many times.

It's a pity that in the dynasty of the grandson of the old thief, this national treasure-level building was blown up by the scum of the Taiping army, and finally the glazed pagoda turned into a pile of rubble, and the surrounding temples were burned.

Such a magnificent building was destroyed, and Zhu Cihong couldn't help but feel sad across the long river of time and space.
