Chapter 5: The Goryeo Rod is over (2)

After the brief blowout development of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming and Qing dynasties continued to develop steadily, forming many factions, such as Kunqu Opera, Yue Opera, Huangmei Opera, etc., all of which have appeared on the historical stage one by one, becoming a way for people to entertain. In other words, this can be regarded as a spiritual food. After all, it came out of Chinese traditional culture and has a profound cultural heritage. Therefore, it is deeply loved by some gentry and scholars, but the status of actors is extremely low. This is a very strange phenomenon. It is probably only available in China. But after real analysis and digging, this phenomenon is not surprising. Opera is not only available in the Yuan Dynasty. Its existence is one with the profound civilization of China.

It is precisely because of this integration that the status of actors and artists is fixed, so that it is difficult to turn over in a long period of thousands of years. Of course, this is also closely related to the behavior of people who work in opera. People have always equated actors with whores, and the mobility of the opera industry makes people who are engaged in this industry most desire stability. At the lowest level of society, if you want to get rid of your own destiny, the only way to climb to the top. Women who sing operas are usually born with beauty, and naturally form the argument that actors are ruthless and unreasonable. Moreover, this argument has not disappeared until their original time and space. The so-called unspoken rules in the entertainment industry confirm this.

Compared to his original colorful entertainment program, the opera performance in time and space seemed extremely monotonous, especially the strange emphasis. He disliked it very much. He was slow and not neat at all. The culture of seeking stability in moderation was even better than that in opera. However, the civil and military officials under his command were all shaking their heads and intoxicated. Maybe it was because the generation gap between him and these people was too deep. No matter how hard he tried, the gap of hundreds of years was not easy to fill, and the difference in aesthetic views was the so-called wonderful in the eyes of these people.

In Zhu Yinglong's eyes, it became the most boring expression. He was the most boring person in the entire theater, so Zhu Yinglong simply closed his eyes and rested. He knew that as soon as he left the scene, the girls and civil and military officials in the harem would be uneasy and thought something had happened. So even if he was unwilling to stay, he still had to stay. If another emperor had left the scene long ago, when the emperor was glorious on the surface, sometimes he had to be patient and control his emotions to cater to his subjects. This is politics, or a kind of helplessness of the superiors.

However, the dozen teams invited to the palace were all working hard, hoping to get the highest award in the Liyuan awarded by the court. This was also what Zhu Yinglong said casually, and Tian Shulan remembered that this was a matter of fame and fortune. Just competition in the palace to perform, there were hundreds of opera troupes, as well as other juggling, singing and dancing performances, etc., which almost caught up with the selection of CCTV programs in later generations. Unfortunately, only the royal family has such appeal and strength to gather so many wonderful plays together to perform, which is not very popular, but it is not impossible. If a huge performance team can be formed and a national tour will be amazing. If it is brought to a foreign country, it is definitely a wonderful way to influence culture, especially Japan's current Chinese language

Hua has a respectful and learning attitude, first in China, then in Korea, Japan, Ryukyu, then in Southeast Asia, India, Europe, not just gaining fame and fortune, it is simply a journey to spread Chinese culture. At this time, Europeans only care about capital expansion and invasion, occupying colonies all over the world, and we can not use such barbaric means to achieve the goal of influencing the whole world. The earth is too big, and Zhu Yinglong does not want to learn from the later Japanese that are arrogant and arrogant to unify the whole world. This is unrealistic. At least it will be impossible to achieve in the next few hundred years. The premise of world unification is cultural identity and unity. At least most humans on the earth agree with a mainstream culture. War and economy are just means. Although Zhu Yinglong himself will never see that day, he feels that he should work for this direction.

Zhu Yinglong felt that he had too much work. He thought of it now. Maybe he would forget it in a few days, and he might not be able to pull it out of his memory in the future. Moreover, the court was about to start maritime trade with Japan. Taking this opportunity to bring such an art troupe out and spread Chinese culture is a matter of killing two birds with one stone. Although most ministers opposed it, due to his persistence and the actual situation of the court, he reached an agreement to try to do it first. If he could really earn a lot of silver, he would agree to conduct maritime trade. For this reason, Zhu Yinglong also paid a considerable price to allow royal family members to participate. Of course, these people must give up some domestic interests, such as land, mining management rights, salt and iron monopoly, etc.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yinglong quietly signaled Xu Yingyuan to come over and ordered him to summon Tian Shulan. He wanted to tell Tian Shulan about this matter. He was afraid that he would forget the busy state affairs in the future. Relatively speaking, he was also an ordinary person, without the memory of never forgetting his memory or other magical abilities.

Tian Shulan was talking and laughing with her big belly, pointing at the performers on the stage. Although she probably couldn't let go of her movements like before, the girl's character, even though she is now a woman, still has traces of a girl's naughty trace. Compared with the sisters, the pregnant sister is much quieter than the younger sister, so most of the time it is the younger sister who is talking, and the older sister is like a loyal listener.

On the stage is a "Three Fights of the White Bone Spirit" in "Journey to the West". This story that is familiar to later generations is a story that is always heard in this time and space, and it is never tired of reading it. With the relaxation of the court's policies, many excellent classical Chinese novels were published and distributed, becoming reads suitable for both young and old. The continuous improvement and progress of printing technology has reduced the price of books by nearly half, making more and more scholars able to afford books. Zhu Yinglong even boasted about this. It was not that he wanted to gain fame, but that he wanted to increase his place in the center of scholars.

Don’t underestimate this position. Once these people agree with themselves, they will inevitably help themselves and the court. The most important thing is to be a scholar. Even if the Qing Dynasty entered the pass in that period of history, if they did not receive the support of the Han dynasty class, they would probably not be able to sit steadily all day. This is the national condition. So Zhu Yinglong, on the one hand, wins over scholars and gives them better conditions to study and study, and on the other hand, constantly guides them to emerge from traditional Confucianism and become a new force supporting their own changes.

Although the stories on the stage are familiar to everyone, the superb performance won rounds of applause from the audience, especially Tian Shulan's small hands were even more red, and she was as excited as a beautiful little bald. Her sister Tian Shuying was pregnant and kept reminding her sister to pay attention to her identity. But after a few times, she found that her reminder had no effect at all. She thought, forget it, it was difficult to have such a happy night, so she would go there.

Xu Yingyuan came over and called Tian Shulan. Tian Shulan stood up and walked towards Zhu Yinglong's position in the center. This alarmed the other concubines on both sides and turned their eyes to each other. They didn't know what the emperor called Tian Shulan at this time?

"Eunuch Xu, why is the emperor calling Lan Mei?" Tian Shuying secretly asked in a low voice while Xu Yingyuan walked past him.

Xu Yingyuan had no choice but to pause and replied in a low voice: "Impress Shu Concubine forgives the crime, I don't know."
