if relics could talk

Tao Le came out this time, probably because he was with Yu Yu, or maybe because he already had an idea for the direction of the script, so he relaxed a lot and didn't put too much pressure on himself.

After this trip, I went to all the museums that should be visited, and Yu Yu explained it, which can be said to be very rewarding.

Yu Yu herself has not been out for a long time to visit the museum at such a close distance, to see the embroidery on the cultural relic dragon robe, which is also a long-lost experience for her.

The night before going back, Tao Le finished writing on the computer and asked Yu Yu, "Do you think it would be interesting for us to start with the dragon robes worn by the emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties this time?"

Yu Yu said: "I think it's quite interesting, and different dynasties actually have different understandings of 'Dragon Robe'. If you follow the logic you said last time, you can indeed tell the story from some very interesting angles. "

"What good suggestion do you have?"

"Yi Qian" has a saying: "Ninth Five-Year, the flying dragon is in the sky, benefiting the adults." It means that the dragon flies to the sky and reaches the highest level, so later generations also respect the Ninth Five-Year as the supreme.Since then, the emperor's dragon robe has been embroidered with nine five-clawed golden dragons.Of course, there have been some special emperors in the long history. Some of them worship dragons too much, while others are not interested.

For example, Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty wanted to be covered with dragons, so his "Twelve Chapters of Kesi Clothes" were embroidered with twelve dragons, commonly known as "Tuanlong".However, the emperors of the Song Dynasty seemed not interested in dragons. Looking at the portraits of the emperors of the Song Dynasty, almost none of them wore "dragon robes". Most of their clothes were no different from the official uniforms of ordinary officials.

Most of the most common dragon robes in our impression were in the Ming and Qing dynasties. That was because the centralization of the monarchy in the Ming and Qing Dynasties strengthened. The dragon is reconciled.But the emperors of the Song Dynasty appeared more elegant and simple. Their court clothes were called "Jiangsha Pao". Although it was also a dragon robe by definition, it did not have a dragon.

The Shang Dynasty admired the black bird, and believed that it was "the mysterious bird of destiny, descended to give birth to Shang", so the imperial clothes of the Shang Dynasty could only embroider the black bird.It was not until the Zhou Dynasty that the dragon began to be used as a symbol of the emperor, and the earliest dragon robes appeared.Most of the dragon robes in the Qin and Han dynasties were Gunlong clothes, also known as "mian clothes", which not only have dragon patterns, but also phoenix patterns, as well as sun, moon and stars.

"The dragon robes of each dynasty are different. The imperial costumes of the Tang Dynasty are similar to those of the Han Dynasty, but there is a special case, which is the famous 'Tang Taizong Portrait Vertical Scroll'."

Tao Le said with a smile: "I did my homework, and I just learned that the author of the 'Portrait of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty' was actually from the Ming Dynasty, and the dragon robe of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty in this painting is actually a copy of the dragon robe of the Ming Dynasty. .”

"This is based on my own imagination. It would be interesting if this painting comes across with Yan Liben, a painter of the Tang Dynasty. The dragon robe worn by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty If there is no dragon pattern, there will definitely be a quarrel."

The portraits of the emperors of the Song Dynasty were all created by the painters of the dynasty, so it was found that the emperors of the Song Dynasty were incompatible with those ancient emperors in terms of clothing and habits.

After all, the Song Dynasty continued the Tang system, and in terms of dragon robes, it inherited the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty's round-neck robes.

The centralization of power in the Tang and Song Dynasties was not as serious as that in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the status differences between the monarch and his ministers were not too obvious.You don't even need to kneel down when you go to court, and the ministers who deal with affairs can still sit and drink tea while talking to the emperor.

Therefore, the emperors of the Song Dynasty did not pay much attention to the "vulgar objects" such as dragon robes that show their status.Coupled with the high status of scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty, the emperor simply dressed like ordinary officials. The only thing that distinguished status was color.So it was not that the emperors stopped wearing dragon patterns in the Song Dynasty, but it was from Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty that the emperors began to embroider dragons on their clothes with colorful flowers.

Of course, although the dragon robe is magnificent, the emperor does not always wear the dragon robe.In the palace dramas of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor would wear dragon robes except for private visits in micro-clothes. This is actually a big mistake.Because the dragon robe is a crown garment, it is usually worn during important events such as court meetings and sacrifices.

Emperors of the Qing Dynasty usually preferred to wear ordinary clothes. For example, in "Portrait of Emperor Kangxi Studying", Kangxi wore dark blue ordinary clothes.Not only did Emperor Yongzheng not like to wear dragon robes, but he also liked cosplay, and often played role-playing games in exotic costumes.

After Yu Yu and Tao Le finished talking, Tao Le immediately became interested: "Then I'll just start with the dragon robe meeting. The dragon robes of all dynasties and dynasties will be exhibited together. The Xuanniao costume of the Shang Dynasty, Qin and Han The imperial robes of the Song Dynasty, the dragon robes of the Ming Dynasty, and the dragon robes of the Qing Dynasty, all dragon robes have different styles, and the occasions for wearing them are not exactly the same.

"In this way, I have to start preparing the costumes earlier. Fortunately, this piece does not need to be tailored according to the actor's figure. Most of the Hanfu is relatively large, and the dragon robe is the same, and there is an exception in the Tang Dynasty. The empress His dragon robe must be different from other emperors."

"That's right," Tao Le's eyes lit up, "When the time comes, let the actors put on these dragon robes to perform, how to argue, let the actors prop up the dragon robes, and 'quarrel' from the perspective of the dragon robes! "

This will surely be something the audience will love to see.

"Then will you be able to start writing when you go back?"

"Yes!" Tao Le is really in a good mood this time, "I will start writing the script immediately after I go back, and the progress should be okay this time. Teacher Xin Wen’s support.”

"His wife is Teacher Zhu Jiaxin?"

"You say it's a coincidence."

"The opinion he gave last time was very pertinent, and I woke you up immediately," Yu Yu said with emotion, "It's a pity that he is too busy with work, otherwise, we can have a meal together and chat, and we can learn a lot. There must be a lot.”

Zhu Jiaxin was already busy with work, and Yu Xinwen always had to meet with the group, so the couple didn't have enough time to meet each other, and Tao Le didn't want to waste Yu Xinwen's time because of work.

"Fortunately, it's still in the creation stage. I hope there will be no major problems with my creation this time," Tao Le said with a smile. "If everything goes well, I'll ask him to help me look after the script is finished."

"I don't have to talk to the team anymore, I can start preparing clothes when I go back, those before that..."

"It must not be wasted. The website has been in touch with us. The update frequency is really not too high recently. We still need to find time to shoot. The previous script and the costumes you prepared cannot be wasted. I Go discuss it with Cao Pengyun and the others, if they have enough time, see if they are willing to participate in our video shooting."
