How to write the specific format of historical drama?
To create a historical drama, we must first have relevant history as the carrier, and then we must first open the box of historical knowledge in our minds, that is, recall our impressive history. In this process, thinking can be divided into "points" and "surfaces". "Point" refers to recalling a historical fragment or a knowledge point; "Face" refers to recalling or thinking about the social and cultural life in a certain historical period.

From this point of view, there can be the following process:

1, recall the historical knowledge learned in the past, and determine a historical fragment or a knowledge point as the theme of historical drama performance.

2. Understand the historical facts related to this period of history and determine the ideas to be expressed in this historical drama.

3. Develop association around the central idea.

Step 4 write a script

Example:

The story of enfeoffment: the content and characteristics of enfeoffment

Organize and simulate the scene of the Western Zhou Dynasty enfeoffment system, or simulate the production and life of social members with different identities, such as nobles, civilians and slaves, and enhance their reasonable historical imagination by organizing historical short plays.

Knowledge points of "For the eldest son": the content and characteristics of the eldest son inheritance system

Under the eldest son inheritance system, what was the harem life of the Zhou Dynasty in order to inherit the throne? What would it be like if there were no sons in the first room of the week?

From the perspective of "face", there are the following processes:

1. Use the Internet, extracurricular books or libraries to understand the social and cultural life in a certain period. For example, Sun Yat-sen advocated braiding, and different families reacted differently at that time; For example, what are the phenomena in people's daily life under economic globalization; For example, how people's different living standards are manifested under the three scientific and technological revolutions; For example, in the Northern Song Dynasty, block printing and movable type printing coexisted. How did the printing workshop operate at that time, and how did the literati choose?

2. Set the social and cultural life in a certain period as the plot background of this historical drama.

3. Establish the theme and ideas of this historical drama.

4. Develop associations around the central idea.

Step 5 write a script

In addition, in the creation of historical dramas, we should also pay attention to the following principles:

1, guided by historical materialism, that is, respecting historical facts.

On the basis of historical facts, it is allowed to do some imagination and fiction, but it is not allowed to violate the essence and truth of history.

2. Properly handle the relationship between reality and reality

Note: First, the outline programs of famous historical events can't be made up; Second, the basic characteristics of important people in history can not be fictional, so we should be more cautious when becoming the protagonist in the play; Third, the order of history cannot be reversed, and the specific features of the times, historical atmosphere and social environment should be realistic; Fourthly, the content of the purely fictional part of the play, the so-called "dummy fake", should conform to the full historical possibility; 5. "Real people and fake things" should not only conform to the historical possibility, but also conform to the character development logic of "real people"; 6. "Virtual true story", that is, it is assumed that a fictional character undertakes a real event in history, and this "virtual" character must be internally unified with this event; Seven, for the non-fiction part of the play, that is, the "real person" place, don't arbitrarily change the joints with historical value.

3. New ideas reflecting the times
