825, Drama (I)
Jingwen came up with a drama, which was to enrich the spiritual and civilized life of the people, so he also "invented" this drama. And the literary and artistic work of the Tang Dynasty was for those high-ranking officials and nobles to see, because only if they were literate could they understand these things. For ordinary people, their level of education is relatively low, and they are unable to deeply understand these high arts. Therefore, in order to make ordinary people understand this celebration and become more down-to-earth, Jingwen also came up with this drama so that ordinary people can understand it.
And Jingwen also knows that drama originated in the West, but there is not much civilization in the West in this era, so it became Jingwen's invention. The drama uses ordinary dialogue, and does not use any advanced connotation, and there is no singing and singing, and there are no complicated skills. Moreover, many dramas are also taken from ordinary people, and the people can understand them. Therefore, the drama is actually a drama shared by the elegant and the vulgar, which can be understood by both elegant people and ordinary people, but not like an elegant drama that ordinary people can't understand at all.
"Now, please take a look at the drama arranged by Lord Jingwen, how a country is established." The moderator said.
Next, the dramas compiled by Jingwen also began to be staged. And this story is mainly about the synopsis of the story of the Tang Dynasty from the founding of the country to the present, and the whole story is about one hour, that is, two hours. Of course, in order to avoid trouble, there is no "shot" of the current Emperor Li Yuan, and Li Shimin's appearance. As for the changes in Xuanwumen, they were also deliberately cut out, anyway, it is to tell the story of the Tang Dynasty from the founding of the country to the sweeping of the world. And the whole story is told in the vernacular, not like it is said in any classical Chinese, specifically for those ordinary people who can't understand it.
"Good!" "Good!" "It turns out that it is so difficult for me to start a business in Datang, and it is really extraordinary!" "The emperor is difficult! The emperor is so difficult for my people, it's really not easy! ”……
Those tosses began to follow the plan. Took the initiative to coax. However, those people also feel very good about this very "down-to-earth" thing. Originally, they couldn't understand the song and dance before, but now watching this drama, they are also very familiar. There is nothing in the book bag in Chinese, it is all very familiar vernacular, something that ordinary people can understand. And these things are also acceptable to the people.
"Jie Shuai, it looks pretty good!" Ma Zhou said.
"Nonsense, what Lao Tzu wrote and directed himself, can it be bad?" Jingwen said.
And Ma Zhou then asked: "What about this." Is it all true? Is the emperor so 'great'? ”
Ma Zhou obviously didn't believe it, as a politician, who would believe these things, so he immediately thought that Jingwen's drama was bragging.
"Nonsense, I call this half-truth. You've been an official for so many years, don't you know how to appease the people? Ordinary people just want to have fun watching it, who will really care about the deep meaning inside? We just need to get it done and tout it as much as we can. You see, this kind of drama propaganda. Isn't it much better than those classical Chinese books that fall off the book bag? You see, do the people like this, or do they like you to go to those book bags? ”
And Ma Zhouhou can see that the people prefer this kind of drama. Because they understand. And Jingwen came to be the director in person, only to know that many people in later generations said that they wanted to protect and inherit those traditional cultures, but the fact is that this situation is too difficult. Although education was popularized in later generations, in fact, the vast majority of people did not understand elegant literary and artistic works. Therefore, what Peking Opera and all kinds of opera have gradually died out. This kind of ancient repertoire such as Peking Opera is for those who have reached a certain level of spiritual realm. Few ordinary people can understand it, so in fact, those things are not very down-to-earth. Any culture. If we can't make our own changes according to the characteristics of the times, we will all die out in history.
Buddhism came to the Central Plains, and it also improved with the Confucianism and Taoism in the Central Plains, so that Buddhism gradually developed. And if it doesn't follow the change of grounding, it is doomed. Now those court literature and art, in fact, they are not suitable for the people to see at all. Therefore, even if it is shown to the people, it will not play a propaganda role. Only being down-to-earth is the core of literature and art, after all, what the grassroots people like is really a good thing. If it is divorced from the masses, it is doomed to failure.
"Ma Zhou, after you have watched these dramas, I think our people in Mengzhou will be more loyal to my Datang, after all, they can feel that it is not easy for us to start a business in Datang. The publicity of this kind of down-to-earth literary and artistic works is more effective than your usual bragging. Because the people who will listen to your propaganda, it is better to use this method to subtly tell the people, so that the effect is better. People are rebellious, and if you forcibly indoctrinate them, their ability to absorb them is very limited. It's like eating, and you don't have to eat much if you don't like it! If they like it, it's more than enough. You see they like these dramas, and even I'm going to make sketches in the future, some kind of sound allegro and so on, so it's the most down-to-earth thing. Those of you who have read books and cultured people should not think that ordinary people are backward, they are actually the ones who created the world civilization. As long as you capture their hearts, you can become the master of the world. If we lose their hearts, then I am afraid that any regime will be water without a source! Jingwen said.
Although officials in ancient times were all boasting about what won the hearts of the people, in fact, not many people paid attention to it. But Jingwen knows very well that the role of propaganda is endless. Didn't a certain party in later generations rely on a powerful propaganda machine to successfully "fool" the people to their side? It is also a powerful propaganda machine that makes their enemies stink for thousands of years, which is very bullish. As for the people's will, isn't it just based on propaganda? As long as it is advertised, isn't it possible to turn black into white?
"Thank you for your teachings! I think the emperor will be very happy when he finds out! Ma Zhou said.
Jingwen smiled, this drama is actually a thing used to make sycophants. Don't you see that some people have a lot of power, isn't it just someone who goes up to the pole to write a book for him? (To be continued......)
