A Brief Introduction of Guo Moruo s Wu Zetian;
In the first scene, Wu Hou first met 14-year-old talented woman Shangguan Waner. Xian Wang conspired with minister Pei Yan and poet Luo to overthrow Wuhou.
In the second act, Wan'er works as a waiter for Wuhou. She changed from hate to respect and gradually became a loyal servant of Wuhou. Xian Wang defied his mother and was abolished. Wan'er was slightly hanged for her participation, and the marquis of Wu kept her as a female official.
In the third act, Pei Yan and Robin leaked the news of their conspiracy, and Wan'er and his mother, San Niang Zheng * * * helped the marquis of Wu to fight back.
In the fourth act, the rebellion was put down, Pei Yan and others were arrested, and Wuhou continued to be in power as a winner.
Guo Moruo's Wu Zetian mainly reflects Wu Zetian's outstanding talent in his political career. He did not stick to the concept of male chauvinism, but sang carols for a generation of queens. The third act of the play is more real, but the last act oversimplifies the villains Pei Yan, the positive figures Wan'er and Thirteen Niangs, and only reflects the wisdom and outstanding talent of Wu Zetian's politician by counterinsurgency. It seems that the play has not reached the high standard of being good at this. Writing about Wu Hou's love, her protection for Wan'er and her forgiveness for King Robin, in fact, King Robin has been demonized into a villain.
Guo Moruo's Wu Zetian is only attractive to Wan'er, and the performances of Wuhou and Wan'er make the stage shine. Therefore, apart from the two images of Wu Zetian and Wan'er, other roles in this drama are relatively successful, and it is difficult for the whole drama to feel strong passion because of the boring historical events themselves. The greatness of Wu Zetian is the theme of this play, which is the biggest difference between Guo Moruo and Song Zhi. He is optimistic about the value of Wu Zetian's life, and portrays her as ambitious, with princes and princes, which conforms to the historical image of Wu Zetian when she was in power. However, Guo Moruo and pessimistic kewei have one thing in common, and they are both praising the only queen in ancient China. As mentioned above, only Wu Zetian and Wan'er really shine in this play. They are a match made in heaven by women, and Guo Moruo almost expressed this kind of female alliance with appreciation. In the first act, Wu Hou was shocked to hear the news of this talented girl. She made a test on the spot, and Wan'er was full of emotion and poetry. Wuhou is amazed, but his love is still unfinished. "Don't avoid resentment", she deliberately put a smart girl who has resentment against her beside her as "iron whip, hammer, dagger". In fact, she regards Cong Jun's girl as the best friend in her life and the driving force of her behavior. It is a once-in-a-lifetime luck for a talented girl to meet an unattainable and affectionate woman host. Seeing the calm attitude of the Pentecostal Queen and young talented women, we finally understand the real inseparable relationship between women and the fatal significance of this relationship to their survival and development. We can't imagine how lonely Wu Zetian is without Shangguan Waner, and how pitiful Wan'er is without Wu Zetian. In the second act, Wan'er consciously reflected, and the care of Wu Hou resolved her family feud. This talented woman with a long history has become an accessory of the Queen, the personal waitress of Wuhou. When the prince had an accident and Wan'er was implicated at the critical moment, Wu Hou took good care of her and only gave her a light punishment. Wuhou said: "I still want to keep her around and use my strength to influence her." How can I rule the world if I can't influence a girl? " Wan'er replied to Wuhou, "Your handmaid obeys you wholeheartedly." The alliance of women is more and more consolidated, and the love for beautiful and talented women makes Wuhou a tolerant and compassionate mother god. Similarly, in front of the supreme Queen, Wan'er showed the superiority of her daughter-Wu Zetian loved her more than her own daughter.
