In fact, "Beauty and the Beast" is historically well-documented:

In the early 16th century, a boy in France developed hirsutism and looked very much like a wild animal.

The local lord of the estate dedicated him to the French royal family at the time.

The king of France had a big brain, and felt that this hairy boy was very magical and would bring good luck to France, so he gave him shelter and arranged a good education, so that the hairy boy became a person who enjoyed aristocratic treatment.

However, the good times did not last long, and the king of France, who sheltered the furry child, died unexpectedly.

The queen's brain hole is bigger than her husband's, and she is very curious about whether the hairy child will also be a hairy child if she marries a normal woman?

She betrothed a maid to the furry child, and they had several children.

Two of them did not have hirsutism, and the rest continued the condition.

The queen was overjoyed and sent these hairy children as rare pets among the nobility.

If you dig further, this big-brained French king is Henry II, who was killed by the spear of Montgomery, the captain of his Scottish guard, who participated in a jousting performance at the wedding of his 12-year-old daughter to the king of Spain.

And this brainy queen was a member of the legendary Italian Medici family, Catherine de' Medici, who fell into the hands of the French queen after the death of Henry II.

Do you think the king died a little strangely? Strange things are yet to come.

The wedding was part of the armistice between France and Spain.

France and Spain had been at war for several years, and the two kings had come to end the war with their sons and daughters.

But King Philip II of Spain looked at the twelve-year-old bride too charmingly, just like Emperor Tang Ming saw Yang Guifei and cut off his beard.

Originally, there was nothing to do with the king, but Henry II was in a good mood about the fact that he had become an old rival in the blink of an eye, and he had to go to the competition, but he died unexpectedly.

According to the rules of the time, knights competed in martial arts, swords and guns had no eyes, and each had a destiny, and could not be held accountable for accidents, so the captain of the guard, Montgomery, was not guilty.

But after the king was killed, the captain of the guard was obviously unable to do it, so he resigned and returned to his native Scotland.

Soon after, after participating in the Puritan Revolutionary War in Scotland, it became known that he was a secret Protestant.

King Henry II, who died in a daze, was a devout Catholic.

At that time, the whole of Europe, Christendom was divided into two camps, Catholicism and Protestantism, which hated each other and attacked each other.

In 1547, Henry II established the "Court of Fire" to try and burn heretics, who were mostly Protestants, and the relative moderation in France ended with increasing religious persecution and revolt.

Henry II's death seemed like an accident, but it was a long-planned conspiracy, and the captain of the guard was extremely resentful of the tyrant who persecuted the Protestant comrades, and he took action to remove it, but because of the clever design, he did not show any flaws, and he retreated.

Queen Catherine de' Medici always held a grudge against the king, because King Henry II, although she was the same age and married since childhood, never loved her, and loved a junior twenty years older than herself.

Not only was this junior extremely honored, but she also visited the French parliament, and she not only participated in the formulation of laws, drafted tax bills, and even co-signed official decrees with the king.

The queen hated the dog, the man and woman, gritted her teeth and was helpless.

Well, now that the king hangs up, it is a good thing for her, and France is up to her from now on.

Catherine de' Medici became the queen mother and achieved women's power, but her femininism always had an eerie feeling.

She was a lover of intrigue and intrigue and didn't care if it was Protestant or Catholic, but in order to seize power and fight against dissidents, she chose to ally with the Catholic aristocracy to fight Protestantism, and the French War of Religion broke out.

As for the Spanish king Philip II, who married the 12-year-old Lori, his dream is to establish a world Catholic empire.

Not only was the Inquisition used in Spain to persecute Protestants, but it was also a continuous campaign against Protestant regions and countries in Europe

of war.

Most famously, in 1588, he organized an Armada to attack Protestant England, which was defeated by the navy of Queen Elizabeth I's royal pirates.

Having said all this, I just want to illustrate a fact:

Beauty and the Beast takes place in a time when religious strife was at its most intense.

Belle's love affair with the Prince of Beasts coincides with the eve of the outbreak of the French Wars of Religion.

The hairy man in history only provided fairy tale material, which is far from the beast prince in the fairy tale, and the story of beauty and the beast in love should have another prototype, so what is the prototype of this story?

In fact, there is no direct archetype of story in history, but rather the deeds of several people.

This kind of creative technique must be very familiar to old man Martin's "Game of Thrones", removing the magical background, this American drama is simply a hodgepodge of European history, especially British history.

Let's start with the male number one Beast Prince.

He was born in a big aristocracy, lost his mother since he was a child, and loved to read and study, but due to the lack of discipline, although he was born in a noble family, he often behaved rudely, especially when eating, and did not pay attention to etiquette, and was very unimaged.

The story of being cursed by a witch and forgotten by the world is a metaphor that actually refers to political frustration and loss of influence.

Taken into account, Henry of Navarre, a contemporary of Catherine de' Medici, met all of these conditions.

Henri's real name was "Henri de Bourbon", and later became the famous "Wise King" Henry IV, the founder of the last feudal dynasty in France, the Bourbon dynasty, and the unlucky king Louis XVI who was beheaded in the French Revolution is his descendant.

He was an avid hunter, but he neither bathed nor sprinkled perfume to cover his body odor after hunting.

People close to him said he smelled like a piece of carrion, and that his second wife, when she first saw him, fainted from the stench of his body.

Although he was a great nobleman, he rarely wore fancy dresses, and was accustomed to wearing old coats that had faded from the sun and rain and tight blouses that were dirty and torn.

Even after becoming king, he wore these clothes into the halls where the courtiers waited for him.

He likes to invite others to chat with him when he eats, but he never obeys etiquette, devours a big meal, and eats a mess.

Because of his Huguenots, Henry was politically oppressed by the Catholic royal family, and could not enter the court, but could only stay in his own domain.

It's all quite similar to the beast prince in the movie who is stuck in the castle.

The prototype of the male protagonist has been found, but what about the female protagonist?

First of all, it is certain that the queen of Henry IV in history is definitely not the historical prototype of the heroine Belle.

Belle was the daughter of a middle-class commoner and had no aristocratic origin.

Henry IV had two wives before and after, the first wife was Marguerite of Valois, who was the daughter of Henry II and Catherine de' Medici, and was also the famous "Queen Margot" in history.

Her royal wedding with Henry is also famous in history, ostensibly as a joyous event for peace, but in fact the Queen Mother used the bloodthirsty bait set up by her own daughter in order to massacre a large number of Huguenots who came to the wedding.

In the early hours of August 24, 1572, six days after the wedding, the bells of the Catholic church suddenly rang in Paris.

The sound of the bells led to a bloody massacre of the Huguenots, and the bodies were thrown into the Seine, which for a time blocked the river and dyed it bright red.

Due to the large amount of dead man's flesh eaten by the fish in the river, for a long time the French did not dare to fish in the Seine.

Henry, who declared himself to be a convert to Catholicism, was given the patronage of Charles IX and was placed under house arrest and survived.

Although Henry escaped death, the Queen Mother did not intend to let him go, and she later tried to poison her son-in-law Henry, but by mistake, she killed her son Charles IX.

As for Queen Margot, she is famous for her beauty, which is the same as Belle, but she is famous because of her Yin chaos.

Not only does she have many lovers, but she doesn't love her husband at all, but keeps her brother in trouble

Len relationship, which is far from the image of Belle.

Henry IV's second queen was Marie de' Medici, who, like Catherine de' Medici, came from the famous Medici family, and became regent of France after the assassination of Henry IV in 1610.

Then look at the heroine of the Disney film version, Belle, who lived in Paris as a child with her father, who was a painter, mechanic, and inventor, and now lives in seclusion in a small village in France.

She is a voracious reader, active in thought, eager for freedom and independence, adventurous, and out of step with the conservative villagers around her.

There is no doubt that she is clearly a Protestant woman.

In France, Protestantism is also known as the Huguenots.

In 1559, the year of Henry II's unexpected death, the Huguenots took shape when Protestants from all over France held a secret meeting in Paris in response to the persecution of the Catholic authorities.

Three years later, the French Wars of Religion broke out, and continued on and off for more than thirty years, until 1598, when Henry of Navarre was crowned King Henry IV.

However, the religious strife in France did not stop there, and continued to unfold intermittently.

In 1685, King Louis XIV of France issued the Edict of Fontainebleau, and the persecution of the Huguenots rose again, and it was not until the French Revolution in 1789 that the Wars of Religion finally ended.

If the prototype of the Prince of Beasts is Henry IV, then the logic of the story can be constructed like this:

Politically degraded, Henry, under the influence of his commoner, Protestant wife, converted to the Huguenots and became the leader of the Huguenots, leading the Huguenots in their struggle against Catholicism.

There is no such figure as Belle in the history of France, but in England, France's neighbor, this figure is about to emerge, that is, the first queen in the history of England who was born as a commoner and promoted the process of Protestant reform in England - Anne Boleyn, the second queen of Henry VIII!

She is also the mother of the greatest queen in British history, Queen Elizabeth I.

Anne Boleyn, like Belle in the movie, is not only very beautiful, but also intelligent, studious, emancipated, independent, brave and determined.

And she, like Belle, is unmoved by the many suitors around her.

Although she approached Henry VIII on the instructions of her father, she also had a strong Protestant faith, following the example of the martyred saints, and was determined to turn England into a Protestant country and save women from misery.

For the sake of this ideal, she obviously has no feelings for Henry VIII, and knows that he is moody and prone to killing, but she also has to devote herself to the dangerous emotional game with Henry VIII, weaving a net of feelings to make Henry VIII fall into it.

In those days, it was common for kings to go on ships with commoner women to play with them, and it was possible to keep them as mistresses, but it was impossible to keep them as wives.

Anne Boleyn's style was criticized by the conservative British public, and she rose to the throne as a commoner, and let Henry VIII retire her first queen, Catherine, who was born as a Spanish princess.

This is something that has never happened before, it can be called shocking, and it is also consistent with the marriage between Belle and the prince who are commoners in the movie.

However, Anne Boleyn is a junior, and if Belle is also a junior in the movie, true love seems to be not so pure.

The treatment of this in the movie is that although the prince has had countless female companions, he is still the fifth diamond king who has not yet been married.

In addition, the appearance of the supporting role of Rose and the Witch is also a corroboration.

Let's start with roses.

People usually see the rose in the movie as a symbol of love, but if you combine it with the historical background in which the story takes place, you can know that the rose appears here and has nothing to do with love.

At that time, the mention of red roses and white roses in front of the British would make the British feel terrified.

Because it reminds them of the bloody nightmare that ended decades ago – the rose between the Lancaster family, marked by the red rose, and the York, marked by the white rose

Rose War.

When it comes to roses on the European continent, the first thing that comes to mind is the "Luther Rose", the Protestant symbol designed by Martin Luther, the initiator of the Reformation, in 1516.

In the 15th century, the German Rosenklotz founded the secret organization "Rosicrucian", whose logo is also based on the rose motif as the core element.

It is said that Rosenklotz locked himself in a large house to do research, build scientific instruments, conduct experiments,

I hope to revolutionize the world with science (doesn't it look like Belle's dad in the movie?). He dreamed that after his death, his ideas could be passed on to posterity through a group of chosen scholars.

Luther founded Protestantism and had some influence with the Rosicrucian Order.

The purpose of the "Rosicrucian Society" is even more radical than that of Protestantism.

Adopting mystic, philosophical, and scientific perspectives, this secret organization advocates the transformation of the world through "mystical intelligence", and is at odds with the Catholic Church, which advocates that "God created all things in heaven and earth".

Therefore, in those days, when I saw roses, the first thing that came to mind was not love, but revolution!

It's like the reaction of people at the beginning of the twentieth century when they saw the sickle and hammer logo.
