Recently, taking the growth of Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, as a clue, the story of the history of the Ming Dynasty is on the air; A number of historical dramas such as "the long river in the world", which tells the story of the governance of the Yellow River by famous officials Chen Huang and Jin Fu in the Qing Dynasty, and "Great Han Fu", which writes the story of two generations of kings of Emperor Wu and Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, are also about to meet with the audience. Carve details to enhance artistic appeal Historical drama has always been a popular literary style among the audience.

With exquisite artistic depiction and vivid historical stories, these works carry forward the excellent traditional culture, observe the social reality and nourish the audience's artistic aesthetics. "Mountain, river and moon" not only reproduces the political situation and the grand war of Jinge iron horse, but also devotes its pen and ink to the delicate and warm family narrative, which is different from the narrative in the torrent of history. The play is full of life scenes such as empress Ma's pancakes and shoe soles.

Reproduce the aesthetic style of great China The screen was once full of historical TV dramas with suspended plot, rough aesthetics and tedious stacking. After some policy correction and market precipitation, more and more historical works began to pursue the "formal drama model". In addition to deliberating the plot, they began to focus on the exquisite restoration of historical scenes and the fine presentation of costumes and objects. In the restoration of historical details, "mountain, river and moon" refers to a large number of historical materials, showing the distinctive characteristics of the Ming Dynasty and the beauty of strong history and culture. Whether Zhai yizhanjia or crown headdress, the characters in the play have evidence to test.

Not long ago, the historical drama "long river in the world", taking the Yellow River control project during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty as a clue, tells the spirit of Chinese craftsmen "the world is the public", showing the historical view that "the people are the creators of history". Zhang Ting, the chief director and screenwriter of "the long river in the world", said: "I hope to reproduce this magnificent epic of the Yellow River governance by telling a story of selfless dedication and protecting my family and country, so as to make the audience feel the character and perseverance of the Chinese nation." "Knowing the past, learning from the present and being wise with history are an important part of China's excellent traditional culture, and also provide the purpose for the creation of current historical dramas. In order to create high-quality works of art in such themes, we should especially look for the way of dialogue between history and reality and adhere to the people-centered creative concept, so as to better observe the reality in the historical context and build the spiritual home of the Chinese nation."
