During this time, I re-watched "Myth" starring Hu Ge and Bai Bing, and I felt a lot, but unfortunately I didn't understand a lot of things at the beginning.
When I was a child, I liked to watch this TV series, focusing entirely on the love between Yi Xiaochuan and Princess Yushu, and for bad people like Zhao Gao, I scoffed at them, thinking about being a hero like Yi Xiaochuan, affectionate and righteous, clear between good and evil, and resolutely standing in opposition to people with different worldviews.
But now that I re-examine it, there has been a huge change, the plot itself has not changed, but after entering the society, the experience and experience are gradually increasing, and the characters in the play are even more different. After tasting it carefully, I found that Yi Xiaochuan in the play was so lucky and simple, and he was outdated.
For thousands of years, the virtues of human beings, good and evil, are reflected in themselves like a mindset, without thinking about the extremely competitive palace, and the people who hold this idea wait for the sheep to enter the wolf pack. On the other hand, Zhao Gao is a traitor in people's mouths, insidious and vicious, and those who threaten him must be secretly eliminated at the first time to ensure their identity.
However, in the real world, people like Zhao Gao can survive better, and "White Lotus" such as Yi Xiaochuan is an existence that everyone rejects. On this basis, we should pay more attention to why Gao wants to be Zhao Gao?
Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao embarked on another road at the same time when they traveled through ancient times. As the male protagonist, Yi Xiaochuan just entered the ancient times when he met the overlord Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, and married him with a courteous face, quite a little complacent, if it is not the male protagonist, it is completely a villain, and there are countless beauties and nobles in the story since then, with unique skills and excellent skills.
At the same time, Gao Yao also because Yi Xiaochuan trusted Liu Bang too much, so he did hard labor, he couldn't carry a sack and was beaten, he couldn't eat after being skinless, bitter and tired, and went to the kitchen to steal things, but by mistake he heard that the palace asked for a cook and took the initiative to ask for it.
Gao Yao thought that he would be able to rise to prominence from now on, but he accidentally became a eunuch, and people made good dishes with oil, but he was so burning, chopping wood and not falling, even his beloved kitchenware was broken.
The two plots are punished against each other, no wonder some people say that Yi Xiaochuan lived a myth, but Gao Yao survived.
Although Gao Yao encountered this situation because of Yi Xiaochuan, he was a person who valued love and righteousness, not only did he not hold a grudge against Xiaochuan in his heart, but also looked for medical advice everywhere when he was sick, and his flesh and blood were plump. In comparison, the friendship between Yi Xiaochuan is more like chivalry on the rivers and lakes, and it was not noticed by people at the beginning.
After Gao Yao entered the palace, he won the favor of Hu Hai, Princess Yushu and others with his good dishes and shrewdness to perceive people's hearts, and his status continued to rise. In today's society, this is a common phenomenon, everyone knows its taste, to survive, to have a family is a thing that must be experienced, and only when it is appreciated by nobles will it turn over.
After knowing that Gao Yao was in trouble, Yi Xiaochuan did not realize his difficulty and injury, and instead asked: Are you sure there is really Liu Bang?He has no grudge against you, why should he do this?And Gao Yao replied: No one will really talk to you!
Yi Xiaochuan's words were purely naïve, neither knowing how to experience the hardships of high positions, but also not admitting that getting along in society is more of an interaction of interests. For the treacherous Liu Bang, if the two of them can gain something, they will do it leisurely. And Yi Xiaochuan didn't see through all this, naively thinking that he had no enmity with you, why did he do this?
Different encounters lead to two people living in the same world, but their lives are different.
And for Yi Xiaochuan, who has his own protagonist aura, he will definitely laugh at Gao Yao's skills with ghosts in his heart - I am an upright gentleman, you Gao Yao will become a eunuch under the fence!As everyone knows, it was precisely because he wanted to climb Liu Bang that Gao Yao came to this point at the beginning.
And Zhao Gao did his duty to Yi Xiaochuan, and after he gained power, he said to Xiaochuan: You are my brother, how can I not care about you?When Yi Xiaochuan stole the night pearl in the palace in order to save Yushu, Gao wanted to notice it and immediately conceal it, but Yi Xiaochuan knew that the five people who died for him were furious, and he wanted to get rid of the crime and dump the people, at that time he thought it was justice, but today he knew that this face was so ugly.
There is such a dialogue in the play, which shows Yi Xiaochuan's ignorance, Gao Yao asked: Didn't you say that King Qin will be impossible in a few years, and Zhao Gao will still be in power in the future, should we find a new backer quickly?When Yi Xiaochuan heard this, he didn't raise his head and continued to pour wine, and said with a disdainful face: Okay, I said, let me tell you, Zhao Gao's person is a traitor, and the Qin State was destroyed by him!
I used to see a topic on the Internet: If your boss is very deep, he will do everything he can, and he constantly supports women, but there is one thing he values you very much, thinks that he is a malleable talent and is willing to lead himself to earn money?
This sentence is a very practical topic, if it is according to Yi Xiaochuan's style, then you should say: I am ashamed to be with this kind of person, and I also want to report him, make the things he did public, let all sentient beings spurn, and let the system punish him, this is justice!
According to the philosophy we spread, this must be a widespread compliment, and it will be very solemn to say "done it!".And for those who are already familiar with society, they will clearly understand the stakes. Is this approach and idea really desirable?
Therefore, according to a more practical point of view, characters like "Yi Xiaochuan" who are self-righteous and despise Zhao Gao who rely on means to ascend to the top will gradually be abandoned in society, just like Fang Hongjian in Qian Zhongshu's "The Siege", who was pretentious when he was young, and wanted to do a great career by getting out of the mud without being stained, but as a result, he became increasingly inactive.
The highest level of the play "Myth" was probably on the night when Yi Xiaochuan and Zhao Gao completely parted ways, Zhao Gao said: You are very awesome and very high, so have you thought about taking me back, do you know, am I being bullied here, I am a waste, I can't stand it, I just want to be Zhao Gao!
And Yi Xiaochuan could only stay, thinking cognitively: If you want to be a completely kind person, how can you become a suspicious Zhao Gao?
Knowledgeable people know that no matter whether they live or exist, society is a big hunting ground, whether they can live depends on many factors, it is not that they have good results and bad things are eliminated, everyone is a complex, there are good and evil, so that they can face the ruthless environment.
And finally. Many people are well aware of social inequities after experiencing the survival of the fittest.
With the means and scheming, you can survive better. Justice will not be achieved by wishful thinking and benevolence, and the ideas we have always advocated may not be the same as the actual operation and determining principles of reality, just as two parallel straight lines can never intersect.
If you want to mix better, you have to be a little black-bellied, and if you fight with a worldview that is either good or evil, you will soon be eliminated from the competition.
Although Yi Xiaochuan gained a lot of enviable things in the play, love, power, and martial arts, that was just a matter in the play, not a fact. It's not a shame to rely on strategy to get resources, may everyone live a more wonderful life!
