Hidden and not revealed, who is to blame for lifting the veil

Yu Jiao Long

Tsui Hark filmed martial arts films, and filmed the love rivers and lakes. Wine and song, life geometry. Killing intentions for no reason, happy to solve the grievances. Such as "Longmen Flying Armor" and "Eastern Invincible". Ang Lee filmed martial arts films, and filmed the erotic rivers and lakes. There are not many happy days in life. My heart is sad, love and hate are hard to let go. For example, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the combination and collision of Chinese feudal thought and Western romanticism, can be called the pinnacle of Chinese martial arts films.

A generation of heroes, Li Mubai, has the intention of quitting the arena, and entrusts her confidant Yu Xiulian to bring her Qingming sword to the capital as a gift for Lord Baylor to collect. Helpless, Li Mubai's withdrawal from the arena has attracted more grievances. Where there are people, there will be grievances, and where there are grievances, there will be rivers and lakes. People are the rivers and lakes, how do you quit?

If secret love is one person's chaos, then ambiguity is the futility of two people. Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian are equally famous in terms of martial arts fame, looks and temperament. One is the head of the Wudang sect and has achieved great success; the other is the chief escort of the escort bureau, who is on his own; standing together is a pair of condor heroes. And the insurmountable gap between them is Meng Sizhao. Yu Xiulian's fiancé, Meng Sizhao, died for saving Li Mubai. A marriage certificate and etiquette were such a heavy weight that people could not breathe. Feudal secular society and traditional Confucianism are like cages, trapping all living beings and preventing them from freedom.

The role of a hero who is admired by thousands of people makes Li Mubai hesitate on the road of love. He is repressed and restrained like an ascetic, wasting half of his life in vain. And a female hero who is proficient in all eighteen martial arts must also abide by the requirements of etiquette and morality, and dare not take a step beyond the thunder. Implicit and restrained, waiting has become her destiny.

When the two met at the escort bureau, Yu Xiulian wanted to send escorts to the capital. She said to Li Mubai, "If you come, I will wait for you." Li only responded vaguely, "Maybe." Afterwards, the two met at Baylor Mansion. Li said to Yu: "I thought we all agreed." What? Is it to abandon the status of the rivers and lakes and go to the end of the world together or go to the Boomerang Bureau together? The ambiguous words mixed up the clear water in the cup, which made people's heart rippling.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the two of them were in love with each other, but Li Mubai was still bluffing and duplicating things. Lord Baylor wants to be a matchmaker for them; Yu Jiaolong asks when Yu and Li Xie Yin are in the rivers and lakes; even the grandma of the security guard smirks at Yu Mei when she hears Li Yulai Xiaozhu, as if she is hoping for a new uncle. Yu asked Li if he had anything to say to her, but Li only replied lightly: "Xiulian, you have to be patient." Wait, no one can live up to the future. Beauty is easy to grow old, time is fleeting, how can someone who truly loves you make you wait and wait for nothing?

Yu, whose patience was exhausted by more than ten years, said to Li: "Suppression will only make the feelings stronger." Li replied: "I can't stop my desire, I want to be with you, just sit like this , I can feel a kind of peace instead." Is being like a friend love? After all, Yu was just a candidate for spare tires, and Li was not at the point where she would not marry. Li Mubai's love for Yu Xiulian is affectionate and forbearing, and the water lasts forever. For Yu Jiaolong, it is uncontrollable by desire and selfishness, which is surging and fluctuating.

Ambiguous is chatting with you across the screen, guessing that "the other party is typing..." full of anticipation and heartbeat. Ambiguous, it is the raised corners of Yiren's mouth when he thinks of it, it is the precarious worry about gain and loss, and the guessing that he wants to talk and linger. Ambiguity is sugar-coated medicine, sweet to the point of sadness. It is the sky full of beautiful clouds on the eve of the storm, so beautiful to suffocate. However, it ignored the wreckage and heavy losses after the raging wind and rain.

When Li Mubai was dying, he finally said that to Yu Xiulian: "I love you." It was the result and destination of this relationship that had been entangled for many years. And what is the use of Yu Xiulian for making an empty promise? Until the last moment, people are always unwilling to make a choice and reluctantly part with love.

Never got it, how can I let it go. Li Mubai is a typical oriental chivalrous warrior. He wears white clothes and holds a Qingming. He walks the rivers and lakes with a sword. He murmured the sentence: "Hold your hand tightly, there is nothing in it. Release the hand, and you have everything." No desire, no desire, is the pure heart and few desires of Lao Zhuang thought. When Li Mubai retreated, he was once close to attaining the Tao. But he could not feel the joy of attaining the Tao, but was surrounded by a sadness of silence. I have a desire in my heart and I can't hold it back, so I broke my precepts and went down the mountain to travel the world.

Only when you are drunk can you know how strong the wine is, and when you are in love, you know how deep the wine is. How can I see through the world, let go of distracting thoughts and devote myself to practice. Just like the unruly and unruly Yu Jiaolong who yearns for freedom, stealing swords and walking around the world is just for excitement and fun. When you get into trouble everywhere, you have no money, and there are too many enemies in ambush, you know that the rivers and lakes not only have freedom, but also have rules to abide by.

In the end, only Yu Jiaolong was able to transcend Tao. Willful and arrogant, who dares to love and hate, she meets Luo Xiaohu, a robber from Jiang Yang, "Half Tianyun", in the desert, and they are privately set for life. Later, because he was dissatisfied with his parents' arranged marriage, he walked around the world alone with a sword. In the face of Li Mubai's love and apprenticeship, she sternly asked: "How do you old Jianghu see your true heart?" The blue-eyed fox, the teacher who had the grace to teach her, also reserved a hand, but did not know all the secrets of martial arts. To inform, it can be said to be cold and unreasonable.

She didn't show mercy to Yu Xiulian, who was a sister to her, stabbed her, and threatened to recognize the sword and not recognize the person from now on, which can be said to be full of hostility. And it is such a person with an extreme personality and a slanted sword, who can live out himself regardless of everything, and he must bear the consequences for himself. Yu Jiaolong's leap on Wudang Mountain is the crowning touch of the whole play, and the Taoist detachment and free-roaming thoughts are vividly and vividly reflected.

Bamboo forest fights, elegant and poetic, are hidden but not exposed. Li Mubai and Yu Jiaolong chased and fought in the bamboo forest. Zhu Sheng knew that Suosuo was full of delicacy, and the willful and arrogant Yu Jiaolong had picturesque brows with awe-inspiring aura, and the corners of his eyes were full of aura. Li Mubai, who has always abided by strict rules, benevolence, righteousness, and morality, was distraught and moved.

Yu Xiulian's sentence: "Wouldn't Wudang never accept female disciples?" Li Mubai's acceptance of an apprentice was a pretense, but it was actually a double cultivation of yin and yang with Yu Jiao Long. Li Mubai's eyes wandered, he showed mercy, and how could he not know that he was as smart as a jade dragon? After she was infused with incense, her eyes were blurred and her clothes were messy. Standing in front of Li Mubai, she asked him, "Do you want a sword or me?" The words pierced the window paper, and the relationship was like a candle in a hole, transparent.

Li Mubai was obviously in love with Yu Jiaolong, so he was willing to give her the best, and wanted to accept her as his apprentice and teach him the unique skills of his life. And Yu Jiaolong's worship of Li Mubai is more of a hero incarnation and a chivalrous pursuit of all corners of the world. Yu Xiulian, who is tenacious, forbearing and attentive, can naturally see that her old lover is empathetic and jealous. Therefore, he fought against Yu Jiaolong at the escort bureau and used all his tricks.

The little girl was naturally not her opponent, but she couldn't bear to hurt her, for fear of hurting Li Mubai's heart. Feeling sympathetic, Yu Jiaolong was hurt, and she couldn't help but feel sad when she was defeated in the love arena. Li Mubai's love for her is as deep as a pool of water, but for Yu Jiaolong, it is a flash of lightning. Even if you have outstanding martial arts skills and are capable and decent, you are still useless in front of people who don't love you enough. Love makes no sense at all.

Love is like a dragon, desire is like a tiger. Hazy is the most beautiful, who is to blame for lifting the veil. Li Mubai, who was devoted to cultivating Taoism, was nostalgic for the world, and his desires continued. He went down the mountain to present his sword and lifted the veil of desire. Longing for the freedom of the rivers and lakes, Yu Jiaolong, who is wild and ruthless, steals swords in the middle of the night, which leads to the exposure of his wife's identity and the veil of grievances. Yu Jiaolong asked Li Mubai in the cave: Do you want a sword or me? In other words, do you want morality or lust? The veil of conflict between Confucianism and Taoism has been lifted...

In the fight outside the city and in the temple, Yu and Li both had the opportunity to lift the veil of Yu Jiaolong but did not do it. They knew it well but kept their dignity for each other, which is the virtue of forbearance and restraint. But when the veil was lifted, depression broke out, restraint was out of control, contradictions escalated, and feelings broke down... After the splendid fireworks in the sky, there was only endless darkness and silence. A thought arises, a thought ceases. Hidden without revealing, blame who lifts the veil.
