Chongqing city looks like a pot of hot pot!

Surrounded by two rivers, is it like a pot of hot pot soup? And the Yuzhong Peninsula, like a piece of fresh hairy belly floating on the hot pot, is scalding … Some people say that Chongqing is more like a mandarin duck pot, with red soup on the Yangtze River and clear soup on the Jialing River.

No wonder Chongqing hot pot is famous all over the world. Chongqing looks like it, which is very good with hot pot.

Five conjectures

For decades, many people have been trying to research the origin of Chongqing hot pot, but they have not found a convincing source. I combed it, and there are five main origins of Chongqing hot pot mentioned in various articles. I call them "five conjectures" about the origin of Chongqing hot pot.

Conjecture 1: the origin theory of jiangbei street.This is the view of Li Jieren, a famous Sichuan writer who has opened a restaurant in Shanghai and worked as a vice mayor of Chengdu. In Li Jieren’s article "Talking about the basic necessities of life in Chinese-1947 and 1948", there is such a passage: "Eating beef omasum hotpot with buffalo originated in Jiangbei, on the other side of Chongqing. At first, the general retail dealer bought buffalo viscera, washed it and boiled it, then cut the liver and stomach into small pieces, put a mud stove on the shoulder, and put a griddle iron basin on the stove. The pot was turned upside down and boiled with a spicy, hemp and salty marinade. So people on the bridge by the river, friends who generally sell labor, and beggars who want to eat meat after earning a few words, gathered around the burden and benefited. It is not only economical, but also can increase the quantity of calories. I haven’t known it for many years, and it was all noticed by people above the class of Little Bourgeois. It was not until 21 or 22 years of the Republic of China that a small restaurant in Chongqing Commercial Street ennobled him and moved him from the head to the table.

Conjecture 2: the origin theory of "water eight blocks"On the streets of Chongqing, there is also a hot pot restaurant named "Shuibakuai", which is probably a belief in this school of theory. Some people think that at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there was a popular way to eat "eight pieces of water" on the docks and streets of Chongqing. On the roadside food stall, there are small dishes filled with all kinds of beef offal, and there is a mud stove next to the stall. There is a large pot with a grid on the stove, and the pot is spicy soup base. Diners pick raw slices from the plates to burn food, and then count the plates to pay for it.

Conjecture 3: the origin theory of Zaifang Street.Zaifang Street, next to Chuandao turn, is under the existing Shibanpo Yangtze River Bridge. This is the slaughter place of cattle and sheep in Chongqing in those days. According to this view, Chongqing hot pot originated in this place around the fifteenth year of the Republic of China (1926). Because after the cattle were slaughtered here, no one wanted the beef offal, so some people collected these beef offal that nobody cared about and opened a spicy hot pot restaurant.

Conjecture 4: the theory of the origin of boatmen.This statement is very common, and many hot pot owners have told me so. Chongqing is a big wharf with many boatmen. For the convenience of eating, at the bow of the boat and by the river, boatmen casually set up a pot to pick up or buy some beef offal that was not needed in the slaughterhouse. When the spicy soup was cooked, the hot pot was born.

Guess 5: the theory of the origin of miscellaneous vegetables.This origin, because it is not clean, even a little disgusting, is basically not mentioned in all hot pot restaurants now. Why? Because, miscellaneous vegetables are the leftovers in the restaurant before. Every day, especially in larger restaurants, a lot of leftovers are accumulated. Restaurants gather these leftovers together, wholesale them to vendors, buy them back from vendors, pack them in cauldrons, and sell them to poor people passing by on the side of the pier. A spoonful of miscellaneous vegetables and a bowl of "Maoertou" dry rice is a meal. There are also some poor families who buy some to go home and eat them as food. There is some oil and water in the miscellaneous vegetables, which can also be regarded as a beating in sumptuous food.

Leftovers naturally don’t taste good. Small vendors engaged in miscellaneous vegetables business came up with a clever idea, adding a lot of sea pepper and pepper. Under the hot marijuana, all the strange smells were suppressed. The poor people who bought home, after eating miscellaneous vegetables, will continue to cook vegetables with the remaining spicy soup base-hot pot was born. Miscellaneous vegetables, this name is not nice, so people gave it a nice name, called "Naolong Palace".

Miscellaneous vegetables are found all over the country. Beijing is called "combined vegetables", which is actually leftovers. During the Anti-Japanese War, the beggar boss of Marble Stone married his daughter, and he did a lot of things in the open air by the Marble Stone River. All the banquets that beggars come to eat are "making trouble with the Dragon Palace".

It is said that in the past, the income from selling miscellaneous vegetables in restaurants was not the boss’s, but the private account of all the guys.

Because the grade of miscellaneous vegetables is very low, Chongqing people swear and often use the word "miscellaneous vegetables": you miscellaneous vegetables! Here, miscellaneous vegetables are basically equivalent to the "three abuses" in Mandarin.

Which conjecture is more correct?

These five conjectures about the origin of hot pot have been flying around for many years in the smell of hot pot over Chongqing, and no one can explain themselves.

There are different opinions, which makes the owners of Chongqing Hot Pot Restaurant unable to recognize their ancestors. Some bosses, who can’t wait, just find an ancestor at random and hang it on the wall for three incense sticks in the morning and evening. If you are bold, simply claim that I am the first one. Why don’t you find another one to come out?

This article dare not say the final conclusion, just trying to get as close to the truth as possible.

According to the basic logic theorem, if there are two different descriptions of the same object, there must be a false one. Besides, there are five different descriptions. What should we do? I suggest we try the "exclusion method" first.

Personally, the most popular "the origin of boatmen" is the first of these five conjectures to be eliminated.

There are docks all over the Chuanjiang River and boatmen all over the Yangtze River. If hot pot originated from boatmen, why is it unique to Chongqing? Is it possible that the boatmen in Yibin, Luzhou, Fuling and Wanxian will not eat? Are they all that stupid? I don’t know if I want to use spicy soup to cook vegetables. They don’t kill cattle there? There will be no abandoned beef offal?

Therefore, if the boatman origin theory holds, then the origin of Chongqing hot pot is not Chongqing, but the whole Sichuan River. Chongqing hot pot will be sadly renamed Chuanjiang hot pot-where there are no boatmen in Chuanjiang? Where is Chuanjiang spicy? Where do boatmen not eat? Where is the dock free of beef offal?

Besides, why should only a boatman set up a pot and burn food with spicy soup base? Will beggars? Will the porters on the dock? I think farmers are also very likely. In the field, a pot and a dish can be very hot. Can we also have a theory of the origin of farmers, porters and beggars?

In fact, before Chongqing hot pot, there was no record of spicy hot pot in Sichuan. Therefore, the origin of Chongqing hot pot must be found in the history of Chongqing, not on the Chuanjiang River. That is really the wrong dock.

Some people take a photo of a boatman eating hot pot in the late Qing Dynasty as an ironclad proof that hot pot originated from boatmen. Oh, my god, this photo can only prove that they are eating hot pot, and it can only prove that there was a hot pot in the late Qing Dynasty. Who eats hot pot? He invented this hot pot? This logic is too powerful. I still eat hot pot every week. Why didn’t you say that hot pot was invented by me?

This theory of origin has no facts and no logical support.

The second thing to be eliminated is "eight pieces of water".

It is a mistake as the name implies to say that eight pieces of water originated from hot pot. Hot pot is what you eat in the spicy soup base! It has never been "eight pieces of water".

The book "Cuisine of Sichuan Cuisine", published in 1980s, has an entry of "eight pieces of water". Eight pieces of water is a kind of cold chicken. Use a male chick, boil it in boiling water a little, and cut it off. Then remove the chicken head, chicken feet and chicken wings, just cut the chicken body in half and then in half, cut it into eight pieces, and then use the oblique knife method to connect the bones with the meat and slice it into pieces of uniform size. Put it in a big basin, add red oil and other seasonings and mix well.

This is a folk dish, which used to belong to the category of "Tian Xi".

The book Sichuan Cuisine is very authoritative in the industry. When this book was written, many chefs and gourmets in the Republic of China were still alive, and many dishes in the book were handed down by these masters, so they didn’t talk nonsense.

I used to cook chicken, as if I liked the word "eight pieces", and there is a famous dish called "eight pieces of chicken with fish flavor". In short, it is to cut the chicken into pieces, like fried crispy meat, coat it with egg powder, fry it twice in oil pan, fry it until crispy, and then pour in fish sauce. In fact, it is not necessary to cut only eight pieces, but to use the expression "one chicken cuts eight pieces" to describe that this chicken piece should not be too small, otherwise it will not be enough to chew.

Therefore, eight pieces of water and hot pot have nothing to do with fart. It’s all a lie, plus a rumor.

There are three theories of origin: Li Jieren’s theory of the origin of Jiangbei, others’ theory of the origin of Zhafang Street, and the theory of the origin of miscellaneous vegetables that is not so tall.

Of these three origins, the first two are about the place of origin. Only the theory of the origin of miscellaneous vegetables is about the origin of the vegetables themselves.

It doesn’t matter where the place of origin is in Chongqing. No one can come up with hard evidence to prove that the hot pot came from my Dajiang North, or from my Dazaifang Street. The existing ones are all isolated evidence or legends. What we need to analyze is the time interval when hot pot was born in Chongqing and its evolution process.

Many famous dishes, especially hot pot, a special diet form, are unlikely to be so-and-so geniuses. Most of the whimsy after waking up goes through an evolutionary process and then gradually takes shape.

Evolution process of hot pot

This is also my guess, not necessarily right. Readers are welcome to criticize and correct me.

In the mid-Qing Dynasty, peppers came to the table in Sichuan.

But the premise of hot pot is not only pepper and pepper, but also oil and water. Scoop a spoonful of water to ensure that you can’t cook the taste of hot pot. If you have to cook it, it is estimated that no one will eat it. In those days, regular restaurants, no matter how big or small, could not invent the form of hot pot-in those days, spicy food was very off the table and was the food of the poor.

Slowly, by the end of the Qing dynasty, some small restaurants began to appear spicy dishes. This can be seen from the book "Chengdu Overview" published in 1908. At that time, less than 10% of the dishes in Chengdu restaurants were spicy. This is a very strange phenomenon. Restaurants refuse spicy food, but it has long been popular among the people-I have a book "Zhong Fu Lu" written by Zeng Yi, a beautiful woman in Chengdu during the Xianfeng period, which contains her family’s method of making watercress.

Then, the combination of miscellaneous vegetables and spicy food should be the earliest form of hot pot.

Miscellaneous vegetables and peppers all come from grass roots. After the combination of the two, you can use pepper to suppress the strange smell of miscellaneous vegetables. More importantly, the combination of oil and water in miscellaneous vegetables and pepper and pepper is the necessary condition for the birth of hot pot-we have to talk about logic, right?

Since the miscellaneous vegetables with pepper and pepper are not difficult to eat, can we not waste the soup after eating the miscellaneous vegetables? Something hot, isn’t it delicious and economical? If you add a little unwanted beef offal, the oil and water will increase and the taste will be good-well, in this way, the hot pot will stumble all the way to us.

The boss who started making hot pot is probably the one who sold miscellaneous vegetables.

To establish this form of hot pot, several conditions must be met: first, the bottom soup should have oil and water; Second, pepper and pepper have widely entered the people; Third, there are cheap sources of goods, such as beef offal and pig offal; Fourth, there are a large number of customers-friends who are so poor.

Unfortunately, Chongqing meets all these four conditions.

Miscellaneous vegetables have oil and water; Pepper was already popular in the late Qing Dynasty, which is recorded in writing. Chongqing Zaifang Street is not far from the pier, and the purchase channel of beef offal is very convenient; Plus Chongqing Grand Pier, the rich are a dime a dozen, and the poor are more than a dime a dozen.

Hot pot, in this way, is separated from miscellaneous vegetables and becomes an independent diet form-Heroes don’t ask about their origins, but delicious food is king!Chongqing hot pot, which was born at the grassroots level, set off in this way and headed for its sea of stars!

At the beginning, hot pot was probably also a tourist stall, and then some tourist stalls with good business were fixed as sitting stalls.

Early chafing dish, I believe, is not only available in Chongqing, but all places that meet these four conditions are likely to develop this form of chafing dish independently or by reference. It’s just that in my big Chongqing, this hot pot is booming.

In the early 1920s, there was a "worthwhile" pub in Shuigou Street, jiangbei town. The location of this pub is relatively partial. In the past, it mainly sold "cold single bowls", that is, loose wine with a little peanuts and dried beans, and the business was not good. Later, the hot pot business was added, and the business was good.

However, this is not the earliest hot pot in Chongqing. Because, at this time, there are already many open-air hot pot stalls on the roadside of Chaotianmen and other docks. Moreover, this "worthwhile" is definitely not the first, but other restaurants that learn from cats and tigers.

At that time, the hot pot stalls were sloppy. A mud stove, an iron pot, and inside the iron pot, there is a tic-tac-toe nine-square grid that is still in use. Next to the pot, there is a chopping board. The main dishes on the chopping board are: beef oil residue, beef heart, beef liver, large intestine and leg meat. Vegetarian dishes are wrapped in white, green onions and garlic seedlings, and there are also dried rice and dried rice.

The boss stood behind the chopping board with a kitchen knife in his hand. Beef oil residue and other meat dishes have been cut into large chunks, and diners (basically laborers) feed by the chunks, while the boss helps diners change the designated meat dishes into knives and cut them into small pieces. Everyone eats their own food-please note that there is no hairy belly at this time. As for vegetarian dishes, they are charged by the "handful", and the boss pays how much for each handful.

In the early days, except for the docks at Chaotianmen, most of the hot pot stalls in the city were concentrated under the eaves of the street at Jiaochangkou, and their management methods were the same as those on the docks. Jiaochangkou was a slum in Chongqing. The rich people in Chongqing are mostly in Duyou Street (now Jie Fangbei) not far away.

Compared with the most famous hot pot stall in the market, the boss nicknamed it "Li Maomi". When he counted the diners, he used the old small copper coins. Small copper coins are also called cents, so they got this nickname. Li Maomi is good at business. Every morning, he collects lithograph posters of various theaters on that day and sticks them on the wall next to the stall, where diners can talk while eating. This hot pot stall was destroyed by war during the Anti-Japanese War.

Chongqing hot pot is so famous that it has become a representative of spicy hot pot. This is related to the location of Chongqing. Before the Anti-Japanese War, Chongqing was the largest water wharf, the largest commercial city and the largest industrial city in southwest China (although there were few industries), and there were many poor people, so this hot pot stall correspondingly increased, and its reputation gradually increased.

Chongqing hot pot became famous all over the country, which really depended on the Anti-Japanese War.

Almost all the famous hot pot restaurants I can find are famous during the Anti-Japanese War. These hot pot restaurants are: Yunlong Garden, Luminous Cup and Shuyuan in Linjiangmen; 141 of Mihua Street (now Bayi Road) (later merged with Yunlong Garden in 141); Do not return if you are not drunk on May 4th Road; The "Han Palace Maodu Hotpot" in the Spiritual Fortress (now Jie Fangbei) … and so on.

Can’t help but say a digression. Now some hot pot restaurants like to recognize their ancestors. Of course, not only Chongqing, but also many places in China have this bad habit: find a brand that has disappeared from history, and then run out to recognize their ancestors and say that they are descendants. I’m sorry, please show me the chain of evidence, or I won’t recognize your grandson who was born. Especially those who call themselves the "first family" are even more absurd. Hot pot is a gradually formed diet, and it is impossible to prove who is the first one!

Get down to business. Hot pot stalls have appeared, can the hot pot restaurant be far behind? However, who actually moved the hot pot from the roadside stall into the small restaurant has no test now.

The hot pot at that time was completely different from now. Mr. Ma Zhitu once recalled the scene when he was eating hot pot in Chongqing: "Just lowering the table, sitting on a high stool, stepping on the table, shirtless, eating and drinking loudly, is really called eating Chongqing hot pot." -At that time, hot pot, put a small mud stove on the table, a small pot on the stove, or one person, or several people, sit around and eat.

The stove is on the table, and diners have to sit on high stools. The trick of burying hot pot in the table will take a long time to appear.

Ma Shitu, a famous person, ate a lot of hot pot in Chongqing and wrote a lot about it. Slowly, the fame of Chongqing hot pot spread far and wide.

　Finally, let’s guess againThe birth path of hot pot(The following is pure conjecture. If there is anything wrong, please criticize.)：

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, with the popularization of peppers, miscellaneous vegetables, peppers and prickly ash were finally happily combined.

Then, the hot pot is separated from the miscellaneous vegetables. After several years, from 1900 to 1910, people began to forget the relationship between hot pot and miscellaneous vegetables. At this time, as an independent diet, hot pot was accepted by people.

Then (1910-1920), hot pot booths appeared, that is, the predecessors who carried the burden of hot pot and wandered around.

Some hot pot stalls with good business have been fixed and become hot pot stalls. After another, more people joined the team of hot pot stalls. However, the hot pot fixed stall and the traveling stall are likely to coexist, just as the traveling stall and the fixed stall in Dandan Noodles have coexisted for a long time.

Around 1920, the business of hot pot stalls became better and better. The population of Greater Chongqing is also increasing. Many high-end people not only like the heavy taste of hot pot, but also don’t want to put down their bodies, go to the roadside and rummage around in a pot with people who are working hard. At this time, some restaurants began to put hot pot on the table one after another.sideline in.

The professional hot pot restaurant appeared later, and it is estimated that it will not appear until around 1930.

The final shape, development and popularity of Chongqing hot pot in the whole country was during the Anti-Japanese War.

[Shanghai literature and art review special project fund special publication]

In Pu Songling’s "Strange Stories from Liaozhai", there is a short story called "Promoting Weaving", which is meaningful and ironic.

The story was about during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Xuande liked to watch crickets fight. As the saying goes, "what is good on the top is very good on the bottom". For a while, the top and bottom were trying to find crickets, and finally the disaster fell on a person named Cheng.

In order to find a good cricket to offer, Fame was beaten to pieces, and his son committed suicide by jumping into a well. Finally, he found a cricket that could defeat a rooster, and Fame’s family was thus exchanged for prosperity and wealth.

As Pu Songling explained the story, "Therefore, every step of the Son of Heaven is related to the lives of the people and cannot be ignored."

"Embroidered Spring Knife: Asura Battlefield" (hereinafter referred to as "Embroidered Spring Knife 2") actually tells the story of such a fighting rooster. In the film, Shen Lian, played by Zhang Zhen, is thoughtful about a painting of a bug fighting a rooster, and in the character poster, Shen Lian is behind a cricket. (Note: The film says that the painting is a grasshopper. But the aggressive insect is a cricket, not a grasshopper…)

"Embroidery Spring Knife 2" was originally scheduled to be released in August, but was later moved to July 19.

Regardless of whether there is a cricket that can fight down a rooster, the world is often "a bear shakes a big tree, ridiculously overconfident".

First, the big trees

The story of "Embroidery Spring Blade 2" begins with an unofficial history. In "Jiashen Dynasty Events" there is an article "Wanzhong Stab Ship": "On May 18, the fifth year of the Xi Temple, on the altar of sacrifice to Fangze, that is, Xingxi Garden, I rode a boat with Baba, the upper body was from the stab boat, and an inner minister accompanied it, rippling with the waves, Fang looked at each other and laughed, as if he had ascended to immortality, suddenly the wind was steep, the boat was covered, and the upper body and the two inner ministers fell to the bottom of the water, and the two inner ministers on both sides exclaimed in shock, and the followers were all colorless. The inner official Tan Jing rushed into the water in a hurry, lost the emperor and came out, the second minister has died in the

According to the inference, maybe the Emperor of Heaven Awakening died because of this accident and falling into the water. If this inference holds true, then an interesting thing is that there were two emperors in the Ming Dynasty who died because of falling into the water. At the same time, neither of them had any children, so the inheritors were their younger brothers.

The death of Zhengde triggered a great ceremony in the Jiajing Dynasty, which directly affected the career of Jiajing for decades. The political landscape of the Ming Dynasty changed from then on, and civil officials began to officially enter the stage and become important figures.

The death of the apocalypse brought Chongzhen, "my brother is Yao Shun", a headstrong emperor who made repeated mistakes in the face of wars in the northwest and northeast, and finally lost the city of Beijing in his hands.

Of course, the question of who killed the Ming Dynasty is divided, and there is no conclusion so far. In the first part of "Embroidery Spring Knife", the answer is also given. The second part is not about the end of Ming Dynasty politics, but the political turmoil.

The background of the second part is that the Emperor of the Apocalypse fell into the water, which may be just a coincidence in history, but the story begins with this unofficial history and opens a conspiracy theory.

Analyze the situation at that time. Five years after the apocalypse, the emasculate arrested Yang Lian for taking bribes of 20,000 taels and let him die in prison. The day before, Zuo Guangdou had died. Subsequently, Yuan Huazhong, Wei Dazhong, Zhou Chaorui, Gu Dazhang and other six people were martyred, and the Donglin Party was suppressed by the emasculate. Six years after the apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian compiled the "Three Dynasties" and characterized the Donglin Party members as anti-party. From then on, Wei Zhongxian’s family was dominant and no one could control them.

However, Wei Zhongxian was a eunuch. In that era, although future generations often said that Wei Zhongxian wanted to usurp the throne, Wei Zhongxian himself must have known that he did not have the legitimacy to be an emperor. All his power came from the emperor himself rather than the system.

And history also proves this point. After Emperor Chongzhen came to power, he quickly eradicated Wei Zhongxian’s power. Such a story is told in the first part of "Embroidery Spring Knife".

So in such a time when Wei Zhongxian’s family was dominant, "Embroidery Spring Knife 2" launched a conspiracy theory, designing the apocalypse into the water as a conspiracy, a big conspiracy to change the dynasty.

Only Zhu Youxiao, Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Youjian were qualified to appear on the stage. As for Xu Xianchun beside Wei Zhongxian and Lu Wenzhao beside Zhu Youjian, they could only stand on the edge of the stage, thinking that they could appear on the stage.

Therefore, unlike Wei Zhongxian, who went crazy after losing power in the first "Embroidery Spring Knife", Wei Zhongxian here has always been the power-oriented and complacent No. 1 in the world. In this film, he is still played by Jin Shijie, but because the role does not have as many thoughts and changes as in the first one, he has lost his unique charm.

Jin Shijie plays Wei Zhongxian

The opposite is Zhu Youjian. In this film, Zhu Youjian is just the younger brother of the apocalypse, Xin Wang. The young Xin Wang is played by the young actor Liu Duanduan. Liu Duanduan has starred in many high-quality plays such as "Escort", "Hey, Old Man" and "Young Marshal". Now he plays Zhu Youjian, which gives him a space to play – Zhu Youjian’s role in this film is not much, probably only three scenes, but each time there are different changes. One is the mastermind behind the strategy, the other is the weak and cowardly letter king who is afraid of death, and the other is the calm emperor Chongzhen.

Although there is a gap between such Zhu Youjian and the headstrong, bloody but desperate image of Chongzhen in history, it is deviated from the historical point of view, but in this film, as a letter king who only appeared a few times, he can stand as an artistic image in this film, and Liu Duanduan’s performance can also support such a three-time change of letter king – it can even be said that this actor is the biggest surprise in this film.

Faced with such a Zhu Youjian, Wei Zhongxian finally made mistakes and made mistakes step by step. Every step was buried by Zhu Youjian and then recruited, and finally failed miserably. On the poster of "Embroidery Spring Blade 2", Wei Zhongxian is represented by a yellow bird, while the picture behind Zhu Youjian is a snake.

The so-called "Mantis catches cicadas, the yellow sparrow is behind", Wei Zhongxian thought he was the last yellow sparrow, but what he never thought was that behind him, there was a snake staring at him.

In the familiar middle school text "The Tombstone of the Five", there is such a sentence: "The castral is also afraid of righteousness, and it is difficult to make a sudden plan. When the saint comes out, he will throw himself into the road: it can be said that it is not the power of the five!" The "castral" here is Wei Zhongxian, and the "saint" is Zhu Youjian.

The author of this article is Zhang Pu, the founder of Fushe, so this article discusses Wei Zhongxian and Emperor Chongzhen from the standpoint of the Donglin Party. However, after hundreds of years, people began to have different attitudes towards the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party, and the different historical faces of the two factions were revealed from various historical materials. The historians also began to argue endlessly, which directly affected the film and television works.

In Hu Jinquan’s movie "Chivalrous Girl", there is a clear distinction between good and evil. The protagonist, Gu Shengzhai, and Yang Huizhen, the daughter of Yang Lian, together fought off Ouyang Nian, a thousand households in the East Factory, and Xu Xianchun, the president of Jinyiwei North Town. In that movie, the Donglin party members were completely persecuted and heroic and unyielding people, while the emasculated party members were the unyielding evildoers.

In the "Embroidery Spring Knife", the situation began to shift slightly.

In "Embroidery Spring Blade 2", they did not show that Donglin Party members and Zhu Youjian were completely good people. Because the biggest conspiracy in the whole film was started by them, which caused a series of things, and these people would also ignore the lives of the little people, and anyone could sacrifice when necessary, as long as it was for "righteousness".

From here, we can see that "Embroidery Spring Knife 2" did not deliberately express the political spectrum, nor did it stand between the emasculation and the Donglin Party. Therefore, Shen Lian is the first male protagonist of this series.

Second, the mayfly

Since the poster represented by Wei Zhongxian is the oriole, mantises and cicadas will naturally appear in this food chain.

Let’s talk about Shen Lian first, Shen Lian’s identity setting is very interesting. Only with this setting can he express the theme of the story that the main creator wants to express, that is, the ambition of the movie must be realized through such a character.

This is a historical film.

In the days of fierce partisanship in the late Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party first prevailed, and the parties of Zhejiang, Qi, Chu, Xuan and Kun and the Donglin Party criticized each other. Later, during the Apocalypse period, the eunuchs led by Wei Zhongxian cleared all obstacles and stood at the top of the food chain. Then, during the Chongzhen period, the Donglin Party rose again, followed by the struggle between the Donglin Party, the Fushe Party and the remnants of the eunuchs during the Hongguang period, until the Wu-Chu partisanship in the final Yongli period. Some people say that it is not unreasonable for the Ming Dynasty to die in the partisanship. Even Huang Zongxi, a great scholar, would inevitably write such a clear-cut and emotional work on partisanship as "Records of Existence and Discernment".

Therefore, in order to truthfully demonstrate the partisan struggles of that era, it is necessary to choose an outsider’s perspective.

Zhang Zhen plays Shen Lian

Shen Lian is such an outsider. Whether it is the first or the second film, he is a small person who walks between various parties. In the first film, he is first sent by Zhao Jingzhong played by Nie Yuan, and then by Han Kuang (a member of the Donglin Party) played by Zhao Lixin. In this film, he is inadvertently involved in a shocking case, and then used by both sides. Both sides want to step on him as a stepping stone and climb to a higher position.

Therefore, only in this perspective can the audience see the essence of the struggle.

At the same time, this is still a martial arts movie.

In the "Chivalrous Girl" mentioned above, the heroes are in the rivers and lakes, and they are chivalrous and always have a hard time with the "eagle and dog" in the court; in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", the heroes are in the temple, such as Nan Xia Zhan Zhao, who was named "Imperial Cat" by the emperor and entered the official orthodox discourse system.

When choosing a faction, the problem is always not true. "Embroidery Spring Blade" is a martial arts story with a historical theme, so if the protagonist is a person in the rivers and lakes, he can only watch the fire from the shore, and if he is in the temple, it is easy to "not know the true face of Mount Lu, only because he is in this mountain".

But Shen Lian was different. He was an ordinary person who wandered between rivers and lakes and temples. Although he was a well-dressed guard, his actions were not entirely based on obeying orders.

Therefore, in this perspective, as a person in a gray area, he has the potential to become a protagonist.

This was the reason why the main creator chose Shen Lian, and it was also Shen Lian’s tragedy. Because Shen Lian was always a chess piece and a mayfly. Anyone could kill him, and no one wanted to kill him.

From a thematic point of view, this was the same as the first one. In Embroidery Spring Blade 2, Shen Lian was in troubled times and couldn’t help himself. He was asked to set fire to the file warehouse, was asked to take the "Treasure Ship Supervision Minutes" in exchange for glory and wealth, and was asked… All of this was helplessly moved by the actions of others, just because he was moved by compassion at the beginning.

Because Shen Lian’s compassion saved a human performers of virtual idols, he was forced to be involved in all the troubles and became everyone’s pawn. Of course, it is not only Zhu Youjian and Wei Zhongxian who use Shen Lian as pawns (even the two of them have not looked at Shen Lian in the eye), but also Lu Wenzhao and Pei Lun who think they are chess players.

Lu Wenzhao and Wei Zhongxian

Lu Wenzhao is played by Zhang Yi, who is a good actor. As his first costume performance, his performance this time is not bad, and the acting is quite good, but it can be seen from his portrayal of Lu Wenzhao’s role that he rarely shoots costume films. Because his style of reading lines and his limbs are relatively modern, if it is a costume stage drama, he may be more suitable, but in film and television works, his style is a bit abrupt.

He thought he would be the victorious chess player, but he didn’t expect that he would still be the meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.

The same goes for Pei Lun, played by Lei Jiayin. This year is a bumper year for Lei Jiayin. He just played Lu Zhaopeng in the "White Deer Plain", and then starred in the hit drama "The First Half of My Life". Then he played a very likable (no less than Ding Xiu in the first) character Pei Lun in "Embroidery Spring Knife 2".

Pei Lun’s character poster is a spider, which is even more interesting. He thinks he can network everything and become the final big winner, but he doesn’t know that he is still a bug, no matter how powerful he is in the food chain, he can’t beat the yellow bird, let alone… what about snakes?

In the first one, there were only a series of characters. Everyone knew their position very well, but these two were not clear about their position. They thought they would be chess players, but in fact, they were still the same chess pieces, but they were responsible for eating the other pieces.

In short, they were all mayflies. Wanting to climb up and shake the big tree was laughable.

This was the theme of Embroidery Blade of Spring, and it was also the common theme of the first and second installments. If one had to rate it, then the second installment might be slightly lower than the first, because the main creator did not go deeper into the discussion, but replicated the depths that could be dug on the basis of the first installment, and the protagonist was also forced to get involved, the story changed, and the core remained the same.

In addition, there are some logical problems in this film. For example, Zhu Youjian’s character in history, such as why the people of Dongchang did not take the "Minutes of Treasure Ship Supervision" in advance, such as why did they not escape together when they escaped to the bridge and then cut the bridge? Some such problems show that "Embroidery Spring Blade 2" is not perfect, there are still many logical vulnerabilities, and the story turns in many places are slightly deliberate, but this is still flawed. The martial arts drama is more exciting than the first one, and the core can still exude despair and hope. From this point of view, this movie is quite good, and the success of two consecutive films is enough to make the audience look forward to whether the third film can show greater ambition.

Back to compassion above. Yes, what can compassion change? The apocalypse is still dead, Zhu Youjian is still on the throne, Wei Zhongxian is still notorious, and…

And the Ming Dynasty eventually died.

No matter whether there was Shen Lian in history, whether there was Shen Lian to catch Beizhai, or whether there was Shen Lian’s compassion at the moment of catching Beizhai, the final result did not change. All historical trends were not determined by Shen Lian, he was just a small person.

But remember, compassion at least changed Hokusai’s fate.

　　　　Xinhuanet Taiyuan, February 21 ST (Reporter Liu Xiangyu) "Sweet-scented osmanthus is wrapped in walnuts, and the rice is like a pearl well. Seeing that Ma’s family is good at dripping powder, try to sell Yuanxiao in the wind. " A poem "Poems on Bamboo Branches in Shangyuan" written by China in Qing Dynasty presents a wonderful picture of making glutinous rice balls to the world.

　　　　Tangyuan is a round dessert made of glutinous rice flour. China is called Yuanxiao in the north and Tangyuan in the south, which are slightly different in size, making method and preservation time. In China people’s diet dictionary, eating glutinous rice balls means "family reunion" and "everything is perfect".

　　　　For this traditional food, many famous people in China have recorded it in poems. In the Song Dynasty, there was a poem in Jiang Baishi, saying, "The Lantern Festival competes to see the lotus-picking boat, and the BMW sedan picks up the cymbals. In the stormy night, people are exhausted, and the lonely lamp still calls for selling glutinous rice balls. "

　　　　Nowadays, this delicacy has been given more meanings. At the same time of family reunion and sharing dumplings, many people in China like to immerse themselves in the tradition and savor its infinite meaning.

　　　　China merchants have clearly captured this information sensitively, and paid more and more attention to highlighting the traditional flavor in the production, packaging and sales of glutinous rice balls. In addition to catering to the harmonious and auspicious values of Chinese people in the outer packaging, China merchants also pursue exquisiteness in the "connotation" of glutinous rice balls, such as full-grained black sesame seeds, crisp and mellow peanuts, chocolate, roses, red bean paste and sweet-scented osmanthus.

　　　　In order to keep the glutinous rice balls original and mellow, some merchants resumed using the traditional stone mill processing method, striving for perfection in grinding fineness, keeping the temperature just right when baking, and making every second count when freezing.

　　　　The small glutinous rice balls, inside and outside, have soaked up the traditional health care concept of China people. In the south of China, there is a kind of small dumpling with no stuffing, which can be cooked with longan red date soup or longan ginger soup. According to Chinese medicine, even soup can strengthen the body and dispel cold.
