√ Historical facts are historical facts, legends are legends, scripts are scripts, and movies are movies. Although the four are different, there is a common thread, which is the thread that this article will comb. In addition, the script is divided into different versions, which will be pointed out in detail below.
√ In history, the three feudal towns of Wei Bo, Chengde and Lulong were collectively known as the three towns of Heshuo, which were in serious opposition to the Tang court. Among them, Wei Bo was in the south, and the army and envoys of the imperial court had to pass through Wei Bo to go to Chengde.
√ Regardless of historical facts, scripts or movies, Wei Bo is divided into two factions, those who support the imperial court and those who oppose the imperial court. The dynasty of the imperial court has nothing to do with North Korea. The pro-chaoyist faction advocated that Wei Bo recognized and obeyed the authority of the imperial court, while the anti-chaoyal faction advocated that Wei Bo ignored the imperial court's authority and even confronted the imperial court head-on when necessary. Of course, this article is not for you to have any associations projected to reality.
What confusions can you solve after reading this article——
√ How old are Nie Yinniang and Tian Ji'an in the movie? How old are they? Would it be too outrageous for Shu Qi, who is nearly forty years old, to play?
√ What is the identity of Hu Ji? Is she really completely neutral and not participating in Wei Bo's power struggle?
√ "Buried Qiu Jiang alive three years ago", what role is Qiu Jiang?
√ I can't understand the two meeting scenes hosted by Zhang Zhen. What is the event?
√ What is the final outcome of the real Tian Ji'an, Tian Xing and others?
√ Hou Hsiao-hsien's ten-year-old work, is the script impeccable?
In 781 (the second year of Jianzhong)
Tian Ji was born.
[According to the "Old Tang Book", Tian Ji'an "died in the seventh year of Yuanhe at the age of thirty-two." The seventh year of Yuanhe was 812 years, and subtracting 31 (the false age in ancient times) was the year of his birth. 】
In 784 (the first year of Xingyuan),
Tian Xu killed his cousin Tian Yue and returned to the imperial court. Granted Wei Bo Jiedushi.
In 785 (the first year of Zhenyuan),
Princess Jiacheng was married to Wei Botianxu, and the elder brother (Tang Dezong) was fortunate to say goodbye to Chunting.
After Jiacheng arrived at Wei Bo, he treated Tian Ji'an as his own son and educated him strictly, and he tried his best to maintain the peace between Wei Bo and the imperial court throughout his life.
Nie Yinniang was born.
[According to the script, Nie Yinniang was twelve years old when Yuanyi came to cast in the twelfth year of Zhenyuan, so backtracking, she was born in the first year of Zhenyuan, four years younger than Tian Ji'an. ]
In 790 (the sixth year of Zhenyuan)
Tian Ji'an was dying of a fever, and Nie Yinniang's father, Nie Feng, saved her life. Yinniang guarded Tian Ji'an for three days and three nights.
[Tian Ji'an is ten years old and Nie Yinniang is six years old. 】
793 (the ninth year of Zhenyuan)
Daoist Princess Jiaxin wanted to assassinate Tian Xu, but was stopped by Princess Jiacheng.
[Let's record this incident in this year. You must know that there are two versions of the script circulating on the Internet, one contains 10 prequels, called "scripts"; the other does not contain prequels, called "outlines". There are many differences between the two versions. The story of the Taoist nun's assassination of Tian Xu was mentioned in the outline through the mouth of Nie Yinniang's mother. The original sentence was "Later, three years later, when you were ten years old, you took it away from the Taoist nun... When you were seven years old, she wanted to assassinate the lord", and in the script, it is through the 40th scene of Nie's mother against Yinniang The narration to show, the time is "sixteen years ago", the same outline. The problem is, there are several inconsistencies in settings like the outline and the script. First, the outline says that Yinniang was ten years old when she was taken away by Taoist nuns, but it is a certainty that this happened in 796, so if we push it back, Yinniang’s birth year will be postponed for two years, and it will be 787 years, but this is not the case. It does not match the "Twelve Years of Zhenyuan... Twelve Years of Yaoniang" explained in the first two paragraphs of the script. Second, the script says that Gu's assassination of Tian Xu took place in the same year that Tian Ji'an got wind and heat, that is, 790, which is also incompatible with other ages. Third, in the script, Mother Nie recalled to Yinniang, "It has been twenty years since the princess was married to Wei Bo." This is also an obvious contradiction. The princess was married in 785, and Mother Nie met Yinniang in 809. These two The time points are fixed. So it can be seen that there are many small mistakes in the script about the year and age that cannot be self-justified. 】
[Is it possible that the script "Twelve Years of Zhenyuan... Yaoniang is twelve years old" is wrong, and the outline said that Yinniang was only ten years old when she was taken away? It's possible, but unlikely. There are two reasons. First, if Nie Yinniang was born in 787, she was only four years old when Tian Ji'an had a fever. A four-year-old child who stubbornly stayed by the side of those he cared about for three days and three nights sounded too precocious and assertive. Second, the above-mentioned "twenty years since the princess was married to Wei Bo" and the belief that the Taoist nun assassinated Tian Xu and Tian Ji'an De Fengre in the same year, who told the audience these two views? Not the director, not the screenwriter, but the character in the film, Mother Nie. Don't think that everything the people say is the truth. Mother Nie is in her 40s and 50s. It's normal to remember the wrong year for many years ago, and it fits the character's setting. And the sentence "Twelve Years of Zhenyuan... Yaoniang is twelve years old" is the explanatory text of the script, not the lines of the characters, so it should prevail when the two contradict each other. ]
In 795 (the eleventh year of Zhenyuan)
Tian Ji'an's crown ceremony (the setting is wrong here), Princess Jiacheng gave Tian Ji'an and Nie Yinniang a pair of jade, thinking that Yinniang and her (fifteen years old) marriage contract token.
[According to "Zizhitongjian", "In the twelfth year of Zhenyuan (796), Gengzi, the commander of Yuanyi, Shi Dingfan and other commanders from Mingzhou, and more than 10,000 of their families rushed to Weizhou. Order Tian Xu to appease him." In the movie, it is said that Yuan Yi came to vote "the next year", so the princess should give Jue at the end of 795. At this time, Tian Ji'an was fifteen years old, and the ceremony should be called "hair tie", not the crown ceremony. The crown ceremony is twenty years old, everyone knows this. This mistake was made not only in the movie, but also in the original script. The script reads: "Tian Ji'an remembered the 15-year-old crown ceremony, Princess Jiacheng took out the suet jade for congratulations", which is clearly wrong; the movie did not directly say "15-year-old crown ceremony", but from Zhang Zhen's lines "Guanli... The next year Mingzhou Governor Yuanyi..." To push, it is obviously a mistake in the script here. ]
[As an aside, Nie Yinniang was only eleven years old at this time, and she was still four years away from Jijia, so she had to wait! As a result, the situation changed in the second year, and I cried. ]
In 796 (the twelfth year of Zhenyuan),
the governor of Mingzhou, Yuanyi, led 10,000 people to vote for Wei Bo. Princess Jiacheng considers Tian Ji'an and promises Yuanyi's daughter to marry Tian Ji'an, "betraying Ayao".
[See above. Yuan Yi came out of the rebellion from Zhaoyi Jiedushi. The reason for the rebellion was that he was dissatisfied with the court's practices and employment. It can be seen that he took a stand against the court. In addition, after he rebelled, he surrendered first, and then killed all the 2,000 soldiers sent by the other party to take over the city. It can be said that his character is very cunning and sinister. 】
Nie Yinniang was deeply stimulated, and the Taoist girl Princess Jiaxin took her away to save her, and began to learn swordsmanship for thirteen years.
[At this time, Nie Yinniang was twelve years old. In the Tang legend "Nie Yinniang", the original text reads "In the next five years, Ni will send Yinniang back", which means that Yinniang went to study for five years. But the script was changed to thirteen years. Why does it have to be changed? Because if it were five years later, when Princess Jiacheng hadn't died, and Tian Ji'an had not become a dictator, the motive for Princess Jiaxin's desire to assassinate Tian Ji'an would no longer exist. 】
Tian Xu died violently, Tian Ji'an took power, and at first he was more restrained by Jiacheng's discipline.
In the first month of 805 (the first year of Yongzhen)
, Tang Dezong collapsed and his eldest son ascended the throne, namely Shunzong. Eight months after Shunzong ascended the throne, he was forced to sit in the place of the crown prince Li Chun, claiming to be the Supreme Emperor. Li Chun is Tang Xianzong.
[Xianzong is one of the more promising emperors in the Tang Dynasty, and he started the "Yuanhe Zhongxing". This ZTE is mainly reflected in the weakening of some vassal towns, such as Wei Bo. ] In the first month of
806 (the first year of Yuanhe)
, Emperor Shunzong of Tang Dynasty collapsed.
[As an aside, this Prince Shunzong had been the crown prince for more than 20 years, but his health was not very good. As a result, he abdicated the throne after only eight months as the emperor, and then collapsed, with great pity. 】
Zhongguan (eunuch) to Wei Bo reported the mourning, Princess Jiacheng died of hemoptysis, and more than 100 white peony plants withered overnight.
[According to the "New Book of Tang", Princess Jiacheng died in the "Yuanhe Period", that is, from 806 to 820. The exact year is not recorded. Anyway, it must have died before Tian Ji'an, that is, earlier than 812. The screenwriter arranged the time node of Jiacheng's death in 806, which must be said to be very clever, because this established the connection between Dezong Shunzong's death and Jiacheng's death, and further strengthened Princess Jiacheng's concern for the court. character. Another reason is explained later. 】
After Jiacheng's death, Tian Ji'an gradually indulged in reckless behavior.
Wei Bo official Qiu Jiang was demoted and buried alive on the way.
[This "three years ago" incident was mentioned twice in the movie by Tian Ji'an, respectively to Xia Jing and Tian Yuanshi, and probably to Nie Yinniang in the dark. This shows that Tian Ji'an is very clear that Qiu Jiang was killed by Tian Yuanshi, and Tian Xing is likely to be poisoned by Tian Yuanshi again. It can also be seen from here that Qiu Jiang and Tian Xing are both political enemies of the Yuan family. However, in history, Qiu Jiang was buried alive by Tian Ji'an. According to the "Old Tang Book", "There are Jinshi Qiu Jiang, who tried to work for Tian Xu, and Ji An as the commander. Jiang did not cooperate with his fellow Hou Zang, and fought for power. Ji An was angry and scolded Jiang as the Xia County Captain; If you call people back, first dig the ridge on the left side of the road, and when you reach the ridge, you will be slaughtered alive, so violent!" Interestingly, Hou Zang, the real political enemy in Qiu Jiang's history, also appeared in the script. It must be "Uncle Hu Ji", and he presented and implemented the strategy of alienating the imperial court and Chengde. It can be seen that he is an anti-chaotian faction like the Yuan family, and he is a political enemy with the pro-chaoline faction Nie family and Qiu Jiang. But the niece Hu Ji seems to have a very good relationship with Nie Yinniang. ]
[The reason why Qiu Jiang is speculated to be a pro-Dynasty faction is because he was at odds with Hou Zang, and because historically he wrote the "Tianxu Shinto Stele", which states that Tian Ji'an "follows the gentle and strict instructions of your lord, and expounds lightly. Former Martyr", attributes the legitimacy of Tian Ji'an's rule to the instruction of Princess Jiacheng, the spokesperson of the pro-district faction. It can be seen that Qiu Jiang himself is also pro-court. On the other hand, it can also be seen that the pro-Dynasty faction such as Qiu Jiang was heavily used when Princess Jiacheng was alive, but after her death, the Yuan family of the anti-DPRK faction became more powerful and manipulated the sickly and faint-hearted Tian Ji'an, and the pro-Dynasty faction was attacked. , including another pro-Dynasty faction, Tian Xing, who was demoted because of his remonstrance, and who pretended to be Feng Bi are all recorded in the history books. ]
[The incident of Qiu Jiang being buried alive is three years earlier than the main body of the film, so it is definitely in 806. This incident is a typical example of Tian Ji'an's cowardice and cruelty in historical data, and Tian Ji'an did not dare to act so recklessly when Princess Ka-shing was alive. From this, it can be concluded that Ka-shing died in 806 at the latest. Combining the above-mentioned inferences from 806 to 812, it is not difficult to deduce that the most reasonable and accurate year of Jiacheng's death is 806, not a year earlier or a year later, and the screenwriter set it very hard.
[Let me open up a little bit, the role of Hu Ji is very strange. In the script, it is "Hu Ji", but in the movie, the subtitles of the lines are "Hu Ji", but the end subtitles are sometimes written as "Hu Ji" and sometimes as "Hu Ji", which is very confusing. Let's take the script first. If it is Hu Ji, there are two possibilities. One is that her surname is Hu, and the other is that she is from a foreign country, and Hu means a foreign country, such as carrot. The latter possibility is more likely because, first, Wei Bo and other Heshuo three towns have many intersections with ethnic minorities. Niu Sengru, the prime minister of Tang Wenzong, once said: "Therefore, it is not necessary to care about it and defend Beidi. It's inverse and obedient." This means that as long as the vassal towns can defend the barbarians on the northern frontier, they don't have to care about the imperial court's obedience and obedience. So this orchid is likely to be Wei Bo's concubine captured after his victory against the ethnic minorities. Second, there is a scene where Tian Ji'an dances with Hu Ji. The description in the script and outline is: "The Hu Ji in Yunshang Yingluo leads the crowd to dance, Hu Feng Hu Le, and it is a joyous play." The description is indeed true Set as an interracial woman. But if it is really Hu Ji, why does the word "Hu Ji" appear many times in the movie? Could it be that it was changed (but not cleanly) only for the sake of passing the trial and to reflect the great national unity? For reference. ]
[Given the kinship of Hu Ji and Hou Zang, it can be considered that Hu Ji is a peripheral force of the anti-DPRK faction, but she herself does not see any political ambitions, perhaps because of her personality, or because of ethnicity. Tian Yuan's hatred for Orchid did not come from the faction, but from the heirs. After all, even if one day the anti-DPRK faction cleans up the pro-DPRK faction, as long as Hu Ji has a child, Tian Yuan's position will still be unstable, because at that time there were no strict rules on whether to establish the elder or not, and Tian Ji'an himself was not Tian Xu's eldest son. In the script, Hu Ji has a sentence "Uncle warned me, I can't have the lord, but also the children." It can be seen that Hou Zang is very aware of the hostility of Tian Yuan's from the same camp. 】
In 809 (the fourth year of Yuanhe)
, Chengde Jiedushi Wang Shizhen died, and his son Wang Chengzong took power. Wang Chengzong returned the two states of De and Di under his rule to the imperial court, expressing his allegiance to the imperial court in exchange for Jie Yue. Tian Xing's uncle (historically known as a clan uncle), Tian Xing, advised not to anger the imperial court, otherwise he would attract an army. Tian Ji'an was furious when he heard this, and banished Tian Xing to Linqing.
[This section is the first meeting scene in the film. In the "Outline", it is described as follows: "The meeting hall will hold a meeting. The speakers are all young vassal factions. The content is the plan that has been negotiated before the meeting. The meeting is only to inform, and then Tian Ji'an makes a ruling. Veteran ministers and generals, they all understand in their eyes that there is only one old gangster who shoots again, and that attitude, treating Tian Ji'an as a son and nephew, is reprimanding, and even the court faction can't listen to it." The faction is the pro-Dynasty faction. This passage does not name the names of the two factions, but it can be seen that Tian Ji'an's own attitude is on the side of the anti-DPRK faction. The "script" has a more detailed description of this paragraph, which is almost the same as what we saw in the movie. First, Luo Bin, the young judge on Tian Ji'an's left, explained the situation without taking a stand, and then Cao Jun, the old staff officer beside him, loudly opposed , that the emperor should not be offended, and Luo Bin expressed his position at this time, believing that the momentum of the court should be frustrated. Then the camera turns to Tian Ji'an's right, Tian Xing speaks, and Cao Jun is in the same position. Therefore, the camp here is also very obvious. Cao Jun and Tian Xing are both pro-DPRK factions, Luo Bin is an anti-DPRK faction, and Tian Ji'an has obviously turned to an anti-DPRK faction after Princess Jiacheng's death. 】
Nie Yinniang couldn't bear to kill Da Liao, so the Taoist daughter Princess Jiaxin ordered her to go back to Wei Bo to kill her cousin Tian Ji'an.
[Then the main part of the film. This year, Nie Yinniang was twenty-five years old, and Tian Ji'an was twenty-nine years old. 】
Nie Yinniang did not kill, but chose to go into hiding.
Wang Chengzong was provoked by Tian Ji'an, but he did not obey the edict, and the court took his title.
In 810 (Yuanhe five years),
the imperial court sent six towns including Wei Bo to attack Wang Chengzong of Chengde. Tian Ji'an obeyed the advice of his subordinates, and agreed with Chengde to pretend to fight, and Chengde sent a city to Wei Bo, which not only kept Chengde but also prevented Wei Bo from fighting against the court.
[This strategy was introduced in the meeting scene near the end of the film, but the lines gradually faded out. ]
In 812 (the seventh year of Yuanhe),
Tian Ji'an was seriously ill, and Tian Yuanshi summoned the generals and asked them to support the eldest son Tian Huaijian as deputy Jiedushi. Tian Ji'an was moved out of the barracks, and soon died of illness at the age of thirty-two. Tian Huaijian was young, and the power of Wei Bo fell into the hands of his servant Jiang Shize. Jiang was unpopular, and his soldiers mutinied and supported Tian Xing. Tian Xing then killed Jiang and succeeded him as Jiedu.
[Tian Ji'an, like his father Tian Xu, were both seriously ill and died suddenly in their early thirties, which makes people doubt the real cause of death. However, there is no evidence of the murder of their father and son in the historical materials. In the script and the movie, Tian Xu's death is set to be assassinated by Kong Konger sent by the Yuan family using paper figurines, so will Tian Ji'an, who has made countless enemies, suffer a similar murder? I won't draw conclusions here, just open up your own mind. ]
[Jiang Shi also appears in the film, is Tian Yuan's little white-faced servant, and acts as a microphone between Tian Yuan's and Kong Kong'er. When Tian Ji'an went to look for Tian Yuanshi, Jiang Shi hid in the room, but Tian Ji'an saw through it and scolded "Jiang Nu" on the spot. It is conceivable that, according to the development of the story in the film, Jiang Shize's controller is Tian Yuanshi behind him, and behind Tian Yuanshi is the entire Yuan family. The Yuan family of the anti-Dynasty faction tried to seize power, but it was unpopular, and Tian Xing finally came to the throne, and Tian Xing, both in history and in the film, was a pro-Dynasty faction, so Wei Bo was very obedient to the court in those years when he was in power, " A landmark achievement of Yuan and Zhongxing was achieved, and Princess Jiacheng could also die and rest in peace. 】
Finally, let's sort out the two factions within Wei Bo -
the pro-Dynasty faction: Princess Jiacheng at the backstage, Tian Xing, Nie Feng, Cao Jun, Qiu Jiang on the bright side, and Nie Yinniang secretly.
Anti-DPRK faction: Tian Yuanshi in the background, Yuanyi, Hou Zang, Luo Bin on the bright side, Jiang Shize, Kongkonger, Jingjinger (that is, Tian Yuanshi) secretly.
Tian Ji'an himself was inclined to the pro-DPRK faction in the early stage, and the anti-DPRK faction in the later stage.
Hu Ji's political opinions are not obvious, but she is Hou Zang's niece and belongs to the outer circle of the anti-DPRK faction.
The Taoist nun Princess Jiaxin did not participate in Wei Bo's internal affairs, and did not belong to the above two factions. She advocated the assassination of the head of Wei Bo in exchange for the security of the court, and belonged to the violent terrorist faction.
