When I was a child, I watched "The Legend of the New White Lady", and I was deeply attracted by the plot and the love and hatred in it. As I grew older, I found that there are many depictions of human nature in this drama. For example, Bai Suzhen, who also has a fairy-like beauty, is praised by people and is known as a living bodhisattva, while Hu Meiniang is often suspected of being a goblin and is regarded as a fox spirit, will she seduce men?Why is that?Because there is a clear gap in their strength. With her 1,800 years of practice and the wisdom of understanding the world, Bai Suzhen elevated herself to the status of a god, which made the people fear her and did not dare to offend her in the slightest. However, because of her lack of practice, Hu Meiniang was unable to do good deeds like the White Lady and opened a small embroidery village to make a living. People are always in awe of those who are far above themselves, and often jealous of those who are only a little better than themselves.
After pondering human nature, I understand why Bilian and the second grandmother are always embarrassed by Hu Meiniang: in their eyes, Meiniang is just an ordinary woman who is more beautiful than them. What they are not convinced is why they are so beautiful, Hu Meiniang can easily get what they dream of but can't get. In this "Legend of the New White Lady", humanity is everywhere. After understanding human nature, I understand why Bai Suzhen wants to marry Xu Xian as a means of repaying her kindness.
At the beginning, Bai Suzhen's desire to become an immortal was very firm, and she told Guanyin that the fate of the dust had been broken. But Guanyin told her: The fate of the dust has been broken, and the favor is difficult to repay. You still owe a lot of affection to the world, don't you want to reciprocate?This sentence is meaningful. Guanyin Bodhisattva hinted that Bai Suzhen's way of repaying her kindness is not only that the fate has been broken, and affection can only be reciprocated with affection. Including the previous Emperor Zhenwu removing the snake venom on Bai Suzhen's body, it seems that he is also paving the way for Bai Suzhen to marry Xu Xian. Because if it was just to repay the favor, Bai Suzhen didn't need to get too close to Xu Xian, and Xu Xian naturally didn't have to worry about being stained with snake venom. Compare the short-lived relationship between Xiaoqing and Zhang Yutang, and you will understand that the marriage between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian is actually a gift from God.
Overall, "The Legend of the New White Lady" is a series full of humanity. Only by understanding human nature can we truly understand why Bai Suzhen chose to marry Xu Xian as a way to repay her kindness. It also made me deeply realize that human nature is everywhere in any era, and understanding and respecting human nature is a subject that each of us should learn. So the question is, why did God arrange it this way?
There are two reasons for this. First of all, it is to remove the mortal heart of the immortals. Judging from the incident in which Bai Suzhen was demoted to the mortal world by the Heavenly Palace, and the incident in which the incense-picking boy was beaten into the mortal world because he looked at Xiaoqing with a smile, the Heavenly Court hated the fact that the immortals moved their mortal hearts.
So how to prevent the gods from moving their hearts?According to the theory that "what you can't get is always in turmoil", the best thing to do is to let them or them taste the taste of love for themselves, and then wear it out little by little over the long years. Like the white lady out of the tower, the love with Xu Xian is no longer there, only love is left, which is a good proof.
But in my opinion, awe is what the TV series really wants to express. What are you in awe?Reverence for the world, the rules by which this world works, and every tiny life that struggles in this world.
When I was a child, I didn't understand why Bai Suzhen would not hesitate to flood the gold mountain for Xu Xian. Is this love of hers out of great love or selfishness?But as I grew up, I found it difficult to define the White Lady and Xiaoqing in terms of selfishness. They are not human beings, and they do not take the rules of the world to heart, let alone abide by them. Xiaoqing often went to steal the treasury silver when she had no money, and they opened a pharmacy for Xu Xian, and they also used the stolen treasury silver, which directly brought Xu Xian to prison. This shows that they do not put themselves under the rules of the world. For example, when Bai Suzhen's sedan chair and Mrs. Chen Lun's sedan chair met in a narrow way, she did not give in first, but asked Bai Fu to back down after Mrs. Chen disciplined her subordinates. Mrs. Chen is really in a high position, but she is polite and virtuous. But Bai Suzhen has her own judging criteria.
Overall, I think what the TV series really wants to express is awe. This reverence is not only for the world, but also for every living being. We should cherish this world and respect the existence of every life, because every life is unique and worthy of our respect and love. Judging whether Mrs. Chen is worth her concession has caused me to think deeply. If Madame Chen is a bully, I firmly believe that Bai Suzhen will use spells to teach her a lesson. She understands that Bai Suzhen knows that the power of magic gives her the privilege of transcending the law, and at the same time, the power of magic also makes it difficult for her to understand the hardships of ordinary people and ignore the value of hard work. Including herself, when she was young, she also stole the elixir given to Fahai by the Buddha and obtained seven hundred years of skill in advance, which shows the imprint of opportunism in her bones.
So what's the harm of being opportunistic?It can be seen from the fate of Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian. For Bai Suzhen, opportunism led to an imbalance in her inner order, making her attach too much importance to her relationship with Xu Xian, and other things such as justice and other people's lives took a back seat. When Fahai put Xu Xian under house arrest, she couldn't ask for it, and finally chose to flood Jinshan, causing misery to the people. Although Bai Suzhen is not a vicious person, her behavior seems to be more harmful than those ** spirits. This is the harm caused by the imbalance of inner order. Especially for those in high positions, with great abilities and who consider themselves good, their decisions can be even more devastating if they misjudge.
Let's talk about Xu Xian again. Xu Xian did not agree with Bai Suzhen's marketing methods at first. At that time, he didn't have much confidence in his medical skills, and he often felt uneasy about being unworthy. The powerful Bai Suzhen is like a transparent glass cover, separating him from real life, although occasionally there are wind and rain, but they are all resolved by Bai Suzhen one by one. Such Xu Xian is vague about the status of his medical skills in the world and the position in society, and he does not know how much he can resist wind and rain.
Overall, opportunism is a double-edged sword that can lead to both short-term success and long-term disaster. For each of us, knowing our position, knowing our abilities, and sticking to our moral bottom line is the true way of wisdom. When Bai Suzhen was trapped in the Leifeng Pagoda, she chose to become a monk. In addition to atonement, but also because she doesn't know how to survive in the real society. In stark contrast to Xu Xian are Li Gongfu and his wife, who are ordinary young couples in the world, unlike the immortal couple of Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, their marriage is full of trivialities and helplessness. When he was young, Li Gongfu was not as relaxed and comfortable as Xu Xian, and was often harassed by his boss and teased by monsters. He has no plug-in to rely on, so he can only rely on his own punches and kicks to work hard in the world.
However, this down-to-earth success is reassuring. They clearly know that the boundaries of their abilities are **, so when the Xu couple entrust their children to them, they gladly accept it. Through the trials of life, they understand that they can afford to take on this responsibility. In the end, they not only raised Shilin, but also became more and more relaxed about their work, without the depression of their youth, and with more calmness brought by the years.
Those who ignore the rules will one day be eaten by the rules. This can be seen from the fact that Xiaoqing no longer retaliated against Liang Xiangguo in private in the finale, but presented the evidence of the crime to the emperor, and Li Gongfu wanted to beat Fahai but Xiaoqing stopped these two details. After going through the experience of the world, they finally understood that they were not qualified to be above the laws of the world.
100 help plan
For Bai Suzhen, God asked her to repay her kindness by marrying, and her intention is here. Only when you are married and experience it together with others in the world, can you understand the various unsatisfactory things as a human being. Being a man is always bound by various rules and regulations, and it is far less free and easy than being a demon. Although Bai Suzhen's spells are strong and capable, she is also a member of the crowd, and she also has many difficulties that she cannot get rid of and the pain of struggling in the red dust. Because of this, the more powerful people are, the more they must know how to be humble and know how to be reverent, so that they can go further.
