I went to see "Thirty Thousand Miles to Chang'an" with my friends over the weekend. At first, I went there because of the domestic animated film, and I also wanted to support domestic animation! After I went there, I found that there were quite a lot of children, and they were all good at studying. As soon as the verses in the film appeared, they would pick up the next one. After watching it, I also found that some of the content was inconsistent with historical facts. Compared with other dynasties, I know the Tang Dynasty better, so let’s take a look at what is inconsistent with historical facts.
First of all, let’s talk about the remarkable aspects of "Thirty Thousand Miles from Chang'an". The portrait of the poet is successfully created, and the presentation of visual and sound effects is beautiful. Young people can appreciate the beauty of poetry and feel the feelings of home and country. In middle age, one can lament the misfortune of fate, and only then can one meet his passion. This kind of historical cartoon, combining virtual reality with secondary creation, is also a very normal way of creation. There are at least three inaccuracies in the film that are inconsistent with historical facts. I want to clarify my own doubts and also want to discuss them with everyone~
1. Li Bai and Gao Shi’s first encounter in the film are inconsistent with historical facts
"Chang'an" "Thirty Thousand Miles" chose Gao Shi's perspective, allowing him to meet Li Bai before going to Chang'an for the first time. In fact, Gao Shi first went to Chang'an in 723, and Li Bai did not leave his hometown until 724 and began to travel. According to historical records, Li Bai and Gao Shi met after they were 40 years old. They traveled with Du Fu in Shangqiu, Kaifeng. All three of them had their ambitions frustrated. They drank and wrote poems all day long. Du Fu wrote "Drunk and dancing in Liang Garden at night, singing in Sishui Spring" , Li Bai's "Liang Yuan Yin" written with brushstrokes and ink has been passed down to this day. Later generations built the "Three Sages Temple" here, which contains statues of Li Bai, Du Fu and Gao Shi.
"Thirty Thousand Miles from Chang'an" advances the first meeting of Li Bai and Gao Shi, and fabricates various scenes of their friendship in order to present the contrasting lives of the two male protagonists. Judging from the poems written by Li Dugao and the three people traveling together, Li Bai could not be as crazy and forgetful as in the movie, and Gao Shi would not be so bitter, hateful, and incomprehensible.
2. In the film, Li Bai and Gao Shi rescue Guo Ziyi together, which is inconsistent with historical facts
In the film, Li Bai stayed behind to protect him, while Gao Shi ran a long distance to beg his brother Shu Han to pardon Guo Ziyi. This is also true This is a made-up story. In fact, Li Bai was the only one who saved Guo Ziyi.
In the epitaph written by Pei Jing for Li Bai, he mentioned the past incident of Li Bai saving Guo Ziyi. Li Bai lived in Bingzhou and met Guo Ziyi in the army. Guo Ziyi, who was not yet in a high position, was severely punished. The celebrity Li Bai came forward to intercede, and Guo Ziyi was exempted from criminal responsibility.
3. Gao Shi’s secret rescue of Li Bai is inconsistent with historical facts
In the film, Li Bai rebelled. Gao Shi wrote a letter begging Guo Ziyi to save Li Bai’s life. If Eunuch Cheng had not revealed this matter, Gao Shi also planned to "hide his merit and fame deeply", which is another beautification of Gao Shi.
In fact, Pei Jing wrote in Li Bai’s epitaph that later Guo Ziyi made an extraordinary contribution to saving the country and Li Bai was in trouble. Guo Ziyi used his official title as a guarantee to save Li Bai and repay his rescue back then. of grace. In other historical materials, it was Song Ruosi and Cui Huan who rescued Li Bai, and Gao Shi's name never appeared from beginning to end. In history, Li Bai sang a hymn for the rebellious King Yong, and Gao Shi put down the rebellion. Li Bai did ask for help from his old friend, and wrote a poem "Send Zhang Xiucai to Visit the High School Prime Minister", "I have no sense of frost, and jade and stone will be burned. But. Shedding a single line of tears, Lin Qi actually said nothing." Gao Shi refused to see Li Bai's wife Zong. The servant explained that Gao Shi "didn't think about food and tea" because of this matter, but he was in an embarrassing situation and "it was really inconvenient to show up."
I will not make any comments about the adaptation of historical facts in the film. The main point is to believe in the creative team. What I care more about is how the film makes me feel personally.
Why don’t we practice high fitness in life? Even if you envy others' carefree and unrestrained life, you still choose to move forward angrily for your own dreams. On the road of life, everyone has a different destiny script. There is no need to follow the direction chosen by others. Living a self-consistent life is a kind of happiness.
