Chapter 77 Extra - "Empress Dowager Dou" VS "Emperor Wu"
  [Hahahaha, it’s normal. The protagonist on one side is Empress Dowager Dou and the protagonist on the other is Emperor Wu. We will naturally put ourselves into the protagonist and be more tolerant of what the protagonist does. Unless what the protagonist does is too excessive, most people should think that the protagonist is just! 】

[To be honest, my wife and I had a fight, and our version of events was completely different. After listening to my version, my friends all thought my wife was going too far. They thought it was too much for me to persist in not getting divorced until now. It's not easy anymore. After my wife's best friends heard my wife's version of events, they all felt that I was nothing and advised my wife to divorce me as soon as possible. 】

[You guys know how to add fuel to the fire, it’s a perfect match! 】

[If you look at it calmly and objectively, I feel that neither of them is wrong. At least from their own standpoints, there is nothing wrong with what they did. 】

[You guys have almost elevated these two bad TV series to the level of philosophy, but the comedy variety show is better. 】

["Empress Dowager Dou" is closer to historical facts. Although there are some speculations in it, those speculations have actually been recognized by many historians. In contrast, another drama "Wudi" has too much second-generation content. Where is it? Reasonable compilation is simply an adaptation of history. Emperor Wu had a love relationship with Chen Ajiao and a love relationship with Wei Zifu. How could he have so much love as an emperor?

I almost don’t know the word love anymore. 】

[Although Emperor Wu was not very kind to Chen Ajiao and Wei Zifu later on, it cannot be denied that they were in love at the beginning. In reality, many people fell in love with each other vigorously when they were young. You and I, but in the end they broke up, and even There are also cases where Yu kills the other person. Can this deny that they are no longer in love at first?
  Some people don't have a partner, so don't criticize all love. When Emperor Wu was young, he had a teenage crush on Chen Ajiao or Wei Zifu. Isn't it normal?

No one is cut off from love at the beginning. 】

……

A few more days later.

[It’s so interesting. The sixth year of Jianyuan seems to be really important. Both "Emperor Wu" and "Empress Dou" focused on filming this year. However, I feel that both sides are quite shameless. The other one was filming Emperor Wu’s filial piety. I was moved. Heaven and earth, Empress Dowager Dou was able to recover, and there was another scene where the soul of Empress Dowager Dou met Huang Di Laozi, who asked her to promote Huang Laozi, and then sent her back.

Is it really okay to engage in feudal superstition like this? 】

[Hahaha, it made me laugh. Although the two plots of these two dramas seem outrageous, they can actually be found in historical basis. Yes, the basis can be found. The fact that Emperor Wu prayed for Empress Dowager Dou when she was seriously ill is recorded in history. Although everyone guessed that he wished Empress Dowager Dou would die early, he did a good job on the surface and there was nothing to criticize.

As for the story about Empress Dowager Dou, it should be regarded as unofficial history, a legend speculated and compiled by future generations.

Anyone who knows some history knows that there is a big difference between the Empress Dowager Dou six years ago and the Empress Dowager Dou six years after Jianyuan. It is like a different person.

One of the bigger changes is that six years ago, Jianyuan only supported Huang-Lao's theory, but she did not promote it in particular. Six years after Jianyuan, she became obviously much more active in this regard, and made a great contribution to the later Huang-Lao theory becoming the most prominent one.

I also participated in the revision and compilation of Huang Laoshu.

He is respected as a saint of the Huang Lao sect.

In addition, she lived a long life, and it was clearly recorded in history books that she lived for more than a hundred years. Therefore, many people among the people thought that she might have traveled to heaven as a soul in the sixth year of Jianyuan, where she had met Huangdi and Laozi, and obtained The knowledge they imparted may have given them some tasks.

That’s why he promoted Huang Lao so actively.

In the Taoist Immortal Genealogy, she is also listed as a disciple of the Taiqing Taoist ancestor, and Shang Hua Yuanjun is her.

So if "Empress Dowager Dou" was filmed like this, there would actually be no problem. Unofficial history is also history. Let's not talk about the authenticity of many unofficial histories, but at least they are definitely wild enough. ]    [But in any case, the director added this part of the plot, and I feel that the changes in the character of Empress Dowager Dou are much easier to understand and not so abrupt, and there are many stories about mythical characters in the history books.

Totally innocuous. 】

……

A few days later, the episode was halfway through.

[I originally thought that there would be more and more overlapping plots in the future, but I didn’t expect that they would be described directly separately. "Emperor" focuses on love, foreign wars, and court battles, while "Empress Dowager Dou" focuses on business development and technology. Research and development, as well as the revival of hundreds of schools of thought, as well as some actions against Confucianism, inexplicably feel that the two of them, ancestors and grandsons, are clearly working together for a win-win situation!
  Why do later generations think they are so contradictory?

I don't understand, I feel like there is no overlap. 】

[There are intersections. Their biggest intersection is Confucianism. I feel that Confucianism is the core of their contradictions. Emperor Wu very much approved of Dong Zhongshu's idea of ​​deposing hundreds of schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone. The Empress Dowager wanted to push Huang Lao. Later, she even felt that Huang Lao Lao may not be a Confucian opponent.

Bring the other hundreds of families to the same front.

And transform the Huang-Lao theory.

This is the biggest contradiction between their grandparents and their grandchildren. 】

[I suddenly discovered that the conflict between Empress Dowager Dou and Emperor Wu, as well as the conflict between Huang Lao Baijia and Confucianism, were also reflected in these two TV series.

"Emperor Wu" has recently devoted a lot of space to describing how correct some of the Confucian policies are, and how regrettable those policies that were rejected were. If implemented, the prosperous age of Emperor Wu might have been even more prosperous.

The recent period of "Empress Dowager Dou" focuses on describing the development of hundreds of schools, as well as the social impact brought by the development of hundreds of schools, and the help to productivity. Without these, the prosperous age of Emperor Wu would not have appeared at all, or in other words, there would be absolutely no History describes it as being so prosperous.

Such an analysis is simply horrifying to think about. This is not a comparison of the ratings of the two dramas. It is basically a fight over ideology, and an analysis of whether people support Confucianism or the Huang Lao Bai School of thought. Is this the truth? 】

[That being said, it seems true. 】

[Is this still worth fighting for? It is recognized by history that the greatest contributor to Emperor Wu's prosperity was Empress Dowager Dou. No matter how good the Confucian policies were, without sufficient productivity, could the people of the world be fed by virtue of propriety, justice, benevolence, wisdom, and trust? Isn't it funny? 】

[I still prefer the battle against the Huns in "Emperor". The recent technological development and business development in "Empress Dowager Dou" are really not to my taste and too boring. 】

[It is obviously very interesting. It has restored a lot of ancient technologies and ancient cultural relics from that time. It is difficult for some people to understand how magnificent and wonderful this culture is. 】
