As the saying goes, "Gold doesn't turn red completely, and people don't become perfect." We tend to be overly optimistic about the idea that good people have no faults and bad people have no strengths. We feel deep disappointment and heartache when we see the inadequacies of good people, and we feel incredulous when we see the strengths of bad people. This overly rigid way of thinking makes it difficult for us to evaluate others objectively and rationally.
In the TV series "White Deer Plain", starring Li Qin, Zhang Jiayi and He Bing, Bai Jiaxuan, as the patriarch, behaves very impartially in managing the affairs of the patriarch, even if his son makes mistakes, he will not condone or connive; He was generous and gentle, and treated his subordinates and family members equally. He has the qualities of benevolence and charity, and treats Changgong Lusan as if he were his own brother; He was of benevolence and loyalty, and often generously helped those who were in need; He was a philanthropist and donated all his fortune for public welfare. He was of noble character and not only repaired the ancestral hall, but also built a school and stockpiled food for his people in case of emergencies. In the face of Lu Zilin's noble character, his tricks and conspiracies seem to be powerless, and he has almost become a flawless "perfect man".
The upright and selfless Bai Jiaxuan.
After reading Chen Zhongzhong's original ** "White Deer Plain", I realized that Bai Jiaxuan's performance was not as honest as in the TV series, and his thoughtfulness was hidden behind many things. In this work, I saw more of his thinking about love, marriage, family and other life issues. In my opinion, this method is more in line with human nature. Each person is a complex whole, and we cannot simply "exaggerate" or "simplify" their role. Perhaps, interpreting in a "stereotyped" way is exactly what TV series creation is pursuing.
01 In his life, he has never done those unknown things?
Bai Jiaxuan said to Lu San: "Third brother, can you recall that in the many years we have been together, everything I have done, which one of them has been done secretly? I'm sure you can't even find one. "Why didn't I find out? "Bai Jiaxuan really hasn't done those unknown things in his life? How did he do it? Lu San didn't know anything about it, and could only confirm that he did a good job of concealing things.
Bai Jiaxuan hid very well the things he couldn't see.
Bai Jiaxuan found a plant similar to Bailu in Lu Zilin's land, so he tried his best to exchange land with Lu Zilin. In the process of changing land, he skillfully used Lu Zilin's greed and Mr. Leng's kindness, and his acting skills were praised as the actor. He didn't even reveal his true intentions to his mother, let alone Luzo as a long-term worker. Therefore, Lu San's ignorance does not mean that Bai Jiaxuan has never done something unspeakable.
At the end of Chen Zhongzhong's ** "White Deer Plain", Bai Jiaxuan saw Lu Zilin who had lost his mind. He has a secret in his heart, that is, he wants to cover up his behavior of setting up a cemetery on the slow slope of Lu Zilin by selling land. Bai Jiaxuan's heart was full of guilt, and he said, "Zilin, I really can't stand you. It's one thing I'm going to do all my life that I can't do for you, and I'm going to help you pay off your debts throughout your life. ”
In his later years, Bai Jiaxuan spent time with Lu Zilin.
02 For the sake of its name, the ancestral hall was renovated and a school was established.
Bai Jiaxuan has experienced the pain of six marriages and six funerals, and his family has gradually declined. But after marrying his seventh wife, Xian Cao, he not only became rich, but also his family prospered. However, his father died of illness, and he sold the house he left behind. He underwent a renovation of his house, but as the patriarch, he had to do something convincing in order to establish prestige among the clan, so he conceived of renovating the ancestral hall and establishing a school.
Lu Zilin not only gave a positive response to the proposal to renovate the ancestral hall and establish a school, but Mr. Zhu also expressed high praise for it, especially the part about the creation of the school. This was a very remarkable event at the time, and it had a significant impact on society. Lu Zilin and Bai Jiaxuan carried out a division of labor, renovated the ancestral hall, and established a new school. Lu Zilin suddenly realized that these things actually improved Bai Jiaxuan's reputation and did not do him any good, so he decided not to cooperate with Bai Jiaxuan in the future.
Lu Zilin's anger.
Pak Ka Hin's original plan was to completely renovate the old ancestral hall and establish his own school on the site. This is also his life's pursuit. His reputation will be immortalized like the ancestral hall and the academy. He had a high status in the village, and the villagers respectfully called him "Sir", and his son also called him "Father".He did not have much fame in the village, but the people respected him and respected his virtues. From this, it can be seen that behind his benevolent and righteous deeds is actually a calculation of his own reputation and prestige. He wanted the villagers to know how he was a good man, not how to marry. There is no doubt that this strategy is unassailable, because human nature is so complex.
03 The attitude towards Changgong Lusan is like treating family members?
Starting from Bai Bingde, the father, the beautiful story between him and Lu San, the domestic servant of the long worker, was widely sung in Bailuyuan. The Bai family has been doing long-term work for generations. The Bai family has never imposed any form of restriction on Changgong Lu San, but has always considered the problem from his point of view, and even generously provided Lu San with funds for marriage. This deep kindness made Lu San deeply grateful to the Bai family and extremely loyal to them. From our current perspective, Pak has undoubtedly demonstrated outstanding leadership talent.
Bai Jiaxuan has a relationship with Changgong Lusan.
When he came to Bai Jiaxuan's place, he treated Lu San, a long-term worker, and regarded him as an important member of the family. Bai Jiaxuan not only generously provided tuition for Lusan's son Heiwa, but also encouraged Heiwa to give up Tian Xiao'e and help him remarry with his own funds. In years of famine and drought, in order to save food, other family members sent long-term workers home. But when Lu San wanted to go home, Bai Jiaxuan resolutely refused, he said: "I eat meat, you follow the meat, I drink soup, you also drink soup." This fully demonstrated Bai Jiaxuan's benevolence, but his words soon revealed his true intentions. "Are you back? He expressed this opinion: "You have returned, what do you think of me by the people around you?" From this, it can be seen that Lu San is just a tool for him to show the way of benevolence and righteousness.
Bai Jiaxuan's deep affection for Lu San has always been remembered in his heart, and it is this kindness that makes Lu San's back bend, so that he always remains loyal to Bai Jiaxuan. He was a kind, courageous, and righteous man. When Heiwa severed the father-son relationship with Tian Xiao'e because of his behavior, he did not harbor hatred for Tian Xiao'e. But when he saw that Bai Xiaowen became like a lost dog because of Tian Xiao'e's behavior, he angrily decided to take action against Tian Xiao'e, which was also an action he took to repay Bai Jiaxuan's kindness.
After repaying the kindness, Lu San.
04 The way to deal with his son Bai Xiaowen.
After Bai Xiaowen's relationship with Tian Xiao'e was **, Bai Jiaxuan ignored the pleas of his mother, wife, Lu Zilin and others, put Bai Xiaowen ** in the ancestral hall and publicly punished him. We only saw his ruthless side, but we didn't expect him to take a stop-loss in time.
An ancient wise man once said: "From good is like ascending, from evil is like collapsing". Bai Jiaxuan knew this truth very well, and his public punishment of Bai Xiaowen was not only to show the patriarch his iron-faced selflessness, but also a strategy to be able to stop losses in time. If you can't understand it, just watch what he does next, and you'll get a sense of it. After punishing Baek Hyo-moon, he quickly proposed to split up the family, as he feared that Baek Hyo-moon would drag his family into trouble.
After Bai Xiaowen became the battalion commander of the security regiment, he intended to return to Bailuyuan for an ancestor worship ceremony so that his father Bai Jiaxuan could re-accept him. Initially, Bai Jiaxuan did not approve of this decision, but as time went on, he finally agreed. So why is this shift in mindset occurring? How did this change in his mindset come about? He learned that when Bai Xiaowen returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, it was to restore his past dignity and face, and his son's dignity and face were also related to his identity as a father. The initial opposition was just to save face, but the subsequent agreement was genuine. After Bai Xiaowen returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, Bai Jiaxuan gained not only honor from the family's enthusiastic response, but also a kind of spiritual comfort. When he saw people talking about the "dragon race theory", he felt that he was a forgotten person. When he heard people discussing "the dragon race is the dragon race after all", he realized that Xiaowen's once exhausted heart was now compensated and enriched by himself, which made everyone no longer have any negative evaluation of the patriarch Bai family's morality.
05 strategy for Lu Zilin.
The Bai family and the Lu family are both prominent families in Bailuyuan, and their strength is equal. Bai Jiaxuan and Lu Zilin are both leaders in the family. Therefore, in most cases, Bai Jiaxuan did not dare to openly clash with Lu Zilin, this was an open and secret battle between them. Sometimes, they are even willing to sacrifice the interests of others in order to strike at the other side.
The open and covert struggle between Bai Jiaxuan and Lu Zilin.
Leng Qiuyue lost her mind, declared on the street that she and the male Lu Zilin had **, and fell asleep. "Who are you? Why?! "In the face of this kind of gossip, some people choose to trust, and some people ask questions, but in reality it is just a baseless thing. However, Bai Jiaxuan chose trust, because he always thought that Lu Zilin was like a beast in the relationship between men and women. Obviously, Bai Jiaxuan knew about the matter between Lu Zilin and Tian Xiao'e, but he couldn't openly break with Lu Zilin, so he could only retaliate against Lu Zilin at the cost of Tian Xiao'e and Goudan. Lu Zilin knew that although Bai Jiaxuan used three points of strength to hit Tian Xiao'e, he used seven points of strength to hit Tian Xiao'e in the face.
As soon as Lu Zilin was released from prison, Bai Jiaxuan walked into his home and said to him: "Brother Zilin, I sincerely apologize to you, you should not take advantage of your predicament to buy or demolish a house. Lu Zilin knew that he had planned to demolish Bai Jiaxuan's residence, which caused damage to his face. His father was a ruffian, his mother had vices, and he was not happy that his son would have a good future. Could it be that Bai Jiaxuan really can't stop Bai Xiaowen? Why did he sell his house? I don't think so, this is Bai Jiaxuan regaining his lost dignity through the help of his son. Lu Zilin smiled helplessly and said, "In this world, the size of the house is like the little thing I moved in and you moved again!" ”
Bai Jiaxuan used the means of punishing Tian Xiao'e to hit Lu Zilin.
06 The deep affection for the rabbit baby.
In Bailuyuan, after the death of the most outstanding long-term worker Lu San, the benevolent Bai Jiaxuan decided to let his son Tuwa continue to work at home. Not only that, but he also generously provided the funds for Rabbit's marriage and shared his land with Rabbit Baby, so that he could live independently and live a better life. However, the rabbit baby did not like this new home. Bai Jiaxuan took such an action, was it really out of gratitude to Lu San? Is he really doing good for himself? Is this really good for rabbits? Why on earth did he do that? Once you read the hidden information below, you will be able to find the answer you are looking for.
Bai Jiaxuan married a favorite wife for his three sons, Bai Xiaoyi, but unfortunately, the third daughter-in-law never got pregnant. Bai Jiaxuan intends to let his son remarry after the divorce, but Mr. Leng believes that the problem is not necessarily with his third daughter-in-law. Therefore, Bai Jiaxuan conceived a strategy called "borrowing seeds", and the core goal of this strategy is the rabbit baby. After the rabbit baby made the third daughter-in-law pregnant, Bai Jiaxuan, in order to cover up this unknown secret, specially presented a gift to Mr. Leng, and attributed the success of the third daughter-in-law's pregnancy to Mr. Leng's magic**.
Bai Jiaxuan is full of strategy and scheme.
After the rabbit baby got the third daughter-in-law pregnant, Bai Jiaxuan realized that the rabbit baby who had a love affair with the third daughter-in-law could no longer live in the Bai family. Therefore, he seized this opportunity to marry a new daughter-in-law for the rabbit baby and suggested that she leave the Bai family. Regarding the decision to allocate land to Rabbit, he completely followed Mr. Zhu's advice, but he was unwilling to give the land to others, so he could only choose to give it to Rabbit.
Many of Bai Jiaxuan's actions show his benevolence and morality on the surface, but behind the scenes, he hides his deep plans. This is not to prove Jiaxuan's hypocrisy and dishonesty, but to tell us that we should look at complex human nature rationally, rather than simply distinguishing between good and bad. We should be tolerant of everyone around us and not just think of ourselves as bad people. We should not blindly worship others, nor should we be disappointed or saddened by the occasional mistakes made by good people. In the same way, we should not treat the so-called bad people in the same way as we treat the "wise son and suspicious neighbor". We should look for those valuable sides in them, and maybe when they are affirmed, they will show these good sides and become really good people. Whether the essence of human beings is good or evil is a question that everyone needs to face, but the performance of people in different eras is different. Therefore, we should look at human nature objectively and treat others with a rational eye.
