In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", in addition to the eye-catching plot and characters, the audience has discovered some mysteries hidden in the details of the story. One of the details is even more refreshing: the four masters actually "drove" in front of Zhen Huan and said yellow words. However, I have to say that the four masters are really the four masters who are literate, and even driving a car has such a cultural connotation.
In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Zhen Huan and An Lingrong and other women entered the palace for the first time to participate in the draft, and An Lingrong was vetoed by Big Orange shaking his head. However, a seemingly ordinary moment changed An Lingrong's fate.
The flowers on An Lingrong's head attracted a butterfly, and the four masters were attracted by this scene and praised her "begonias on the sideburns are not good", thus leaving her. This scene is considered to be the praise of An Lingrong by the four masters, but it actually hides a deeper cultural connotation.
This hidden detail is related to the history of the Tang Xuanzong period. Tang Xuanzong once used a peculiar way of sleeping and was called "Butterfly Luck". Flowers are planted in front of the palace gate, and the butterflies caught every day stay in front of the palace gate of which concubine, and she will sleep that night.
When the four masters praised An Lingrong's "begonias", they may actually be implying that he has some knowledge of the history of the Tang Xuanzong period. The legendary story of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei was widely spread, and "Butterfly Luck" became a unique custom in the court at that time.
The court is public, let's just say, the four masters' careful thinking is really good.
When An Lingrong was pregnant, the four masters planned to give her a concubine, which was not uncommon in court practice. However, attentive viewers found that Zhen Huan cleverly used this opportunity to express her attitude. By offering the elaborate lotus root flour osmanthus cake, she not only flattered the taste of the four masters, but also invisibly won some right to speak for herself.
What is really thought-provoking, however, is the conversation between her and Big Orange. After receiving the three titles, Zhen Huan picked up the word "Wen" in it, but the four masters responded subtly with "Rong'er is silent and humble, and she is a ceremonial person". This superficial compliment is actually the four masters "driving" in front of Zhen Huan.
At that time, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty had a similar compliment to Zhao Feiyan, saying that she was humble to the king and was also very good at the bed. On An Lingrong, this praise has more other meanings. The four masters quoted the praise words in "The Interesting History of Zhaoyang" and compared An Lingrong to Zhao Feiyan, the favorite concubine of ancient times.
However, behind this praise lies a disdain for An Lingrong, who sees her as a tool for entertainment. Zhen Huan saw through the mystery and smiled after hearing it.
In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", there is another impressive detail, that is, the scene where the big orange gives Zhen Huan dumplings. But Zhen Huan almost vomited it out because of the rush of eating. She keenly noticed something unusual in this plate of dumplings, and immediately asked, "Raw?."The fourth master had already expected her reaction, smiled and said nothing, but responded lightly: "This is what you said." ”
"Born", in folk tradition, means that newlyweds are looking forward to having a noble child early. However, within the Imperial Palace, how to act according to the customs of the people?This is a rare occurrence. The big orange is even more respectful, and the naked "driving" teases Zhen Huan.
The revelation of this hidden detail makes the audience's appreciation of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" more in-depth. Every scene of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is not only a court drama performance, but also a challenge to ancient social class and gender concepts. I have to say that the four masters are really literate people.
