Why did the Ming Dynasty become the first classical historical drama in China? Because it was the second historical drama mentioned above, it reached the level of philosophical speculation.

The characters in Ming Dynasty 1566 are all real in history. Such as Jiajing, Hairui, Yan Song and Hu Zongxian.

But all the historical patterns, historical sequence, historical events and historical logic of this drama come from a nonexistent Ming Dynasty history? Rice becomes mulberry? Events.

There is no need to repeat the plot of this play. At first, the supervisor Zhou of Qintian Prison was killed. It doesn't snow in winter in Beijing. When it snowed, Feng Bao stepped in. Later, at the meeting, Zhang and other civil servants accused the eunuch of being in a fog. Yan Song dumped the pot and then went to Jiajing.

What happened afterwards? Rice becomes mulberry? After the policy comes down, farmers choose to resist, local officials choose to force, and businessmen choose to pressure local officials to make money. Hu Zongxian, caught in the middle, should not only ensure that the people don't starve to death to revolt, but also give an account to his teacher Yan Song and put out fires everywhere.

In a word, why is Ming Dynasty a masterpiece? Because it has no villains and no power at all. It should be the first to reflect the true face of China's history from fictional events and reach the level of philosophical speculation.

Second place: Fission of Daqin Empire directed by Huang Jianzhong in 2009.

Daqin Empire is the only son after the decline of China's classical historical drama, and three films have been made in this series. However, why is Daqin Empire 1 better than the other two classics? Moreover, historically, "Daqin Empire 1" did not reflect the history of other countries in the Warring States period, and at most it was just around the Qin Dynasty.

There is a simple reason. Daqin Empire 1 is also a classic historical drama with philosophical speculation.

The story told in this drama mainly revolves around the weakness of Qin during the Warring States Period, although the old Qin people are not afraid of death and are very brave. Until Qin Xiaogong personally carved a monument to national humiliation, smeared it with blood, and stood at the door of the palace, vowing to reform and strengthen the country. Later, I met Shang Yang, a patriot, and they became bosom friends and began to make full efforts to reform.

I believe that anyone who has seen the series "Empire of Daqin" knows that there are many more plots in other countries in Jiangsu during the Warring States Period. Daqin Empire 1 is much less, but it is precisely because of this that it is less.

Daqin Empire 1 is very pure. Qin Xiaogong vowed to reform, and Shang Yang's reform took on a new look. Under the great struggle of the Warring States Period, he wrote a simple and pure historical Long song.

Although we don't know what the real Shang Yang reform was like in history, Daqin Empire 1 restored a possible situation. The last time such a pure historical film was 1998 Chen Kaige's "Jing Ke Stabbed the King of Qin".

Some viewers may not understand this gap. Think about ZhangFeng yi's Qin Shihuang and Sun Li's The Legend of Mi Yue, and you will understand this gap.
