Playwright jean racine
About jean racine, he came from a small official family. It is said that his parents died when he was very young. Racine was adopted by his grandmother and godmother when he was young. In addition, Racine was gifted, quick-thinking and especially fond of learning when he was a child. His achievements in the future are mainly attributed to two things: the first thing is that he learned Latin and Greek under the training of Father Ransen of the Royal Pier Monastery in Paris and had a deep understanding of ancient western culture; The second thing is to rehearse his original works "Debit" and "Alexander" in Moliere Theatre, so that he can master some creative experience about stage plays.
When jean racine was in his thirties, he went to the French Academy to study. Later, because Louis XIV won the battle, he returned triumphantly from the Battle of Conte, Franche. Then Spain signed the Nijmegen Treaty and handed over a large area of land on the Swiss border to France, thus establishing France's hegemony in Europe. Louis XIV was also honored as "Louis the Great" in Paris.
That's right. Louis XIV was arrogant and often held banquets at Versailles, inviting ministers to dinner. In the banquet program, Racine's "Iphileignea" was selected to perform, and then it was performed in Paris, which once made Racine's reputation overshadow that of Gao Naiyi.
However, influenced by feudal times, many artists did not have much status and dignity. Therefore, works like Racine were attacked by conservative nobles, and it was because of the existence of the king that this incident was calmed down.

Racine's masterpiece
According to the information about the play, we know that Racine's works were mainly published in the ten years from 1667 to 1677. For example, Ondumag published by 1667, Litigant published by 1668, Brittany Gus published by 1669, Berenice published by 1670, Bazaar published by 1672, and 1672.
On his 1675, he wrote "Evy Rania" and was selected to perform at the banquet held by ministers after Louis XIV's triumphant return. It was this work that made his reputation overshadow that of Gao Naiyi. In addition, one of his comedies, Litigants, is still very vivid to read, which is no less than Moliere's works. In addition, he is also good at writing some lyric poems, such as Song of the Soul, written in 1694. This work made him a great poet like Long Sha, Hugo and Baudelaire.
Of course, his creative process was not smooth sailing. At that time, he lived in the feudal period. In this era, many artists don't have much status and dignity, and they are even attacked by some conservatives. Racine is one of them. In 1689, he wrote estelle and Addali at the request of Madame de Manteuil. It's a pity to be satirized by others. Until his death, he never wrote a play again.
Gao Naiyi and Racine.

Since then, he has created five works in succession, which also attracted the attention of Li Sailiu, the leader in red and secretary of the Council. So, Gao Naiyi joined the "Five Writers Club" and wrote according to Li Sailiu's wishes. Later, in 1636, he changed his creative tendency and created the stage play Sid, which was also performed in Paris, thus causing a sensation in the whole city and becoming the first glorious chapter in the history of French drama.
Then there is Racine, born in a small official family. His free parents died, and he was raised by his grandmother. Racine is gifted and resourceful, and his present achievements are mainly attributed to two things: first, he has a deep understanding of ancient western culture through the training of monastery priests. The second thing was to introduce his stage play Racine, which was performed by Moliere Theatre Company. In a word, it is these two things that gave him the opportunity to create again until today's achievement. His representative works include: litigants, Brittany Gus, Berenis and so on.
