Although Zhu Youjian was against feudal superstition, Zhu Youjian also knew the helplessness of "Dong Chuang Incident". After all, everything is dark at the top. In addition to their position and great power, do they still want to rely on the beasts above to deal with themselves?
But this is a tragedy. It is even said that for thousands of years, the face-saving and hypocritical upper class has been a huge tragedy to the country and the nation.
During the more than 100 years from Yue Fei's unjust death to the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was only one opera based on Yue Fei's deeds. The reason is probably because Yue Fei's case was repeated several times, and all the information related to Yue Fei was destroyed, and his heroic deeds and illustrious military exploits were not found in official historical records.
In the fourth year of Jiatai, Yue Fei's grandson Yue Ke collected poems, articles, old records, memorials, etc. about Yue Fei, and "sent them to the officials". When Ningzong of the Song Dynasty saw these materials, he posthumously named Yue Fei the King of E, and the official comprehensive affirmed Yue Fei's achievements.
The official attitude of the Southern Song Dynasty was wavering, but folk classical Chinese, history telling and rap had a certain spread. Yue Fei Opera was only beginning to show its signs at this time. To a certain extent, it was limited by the short time, which resulted in the art form of opera not yet flourishing.
After entering the Yuan Dynasty, the development of opera entered a golden age, and a number of drama giants were born, leaving countless opera treasures to this day. However, the development of Yue Fei Opera was slightly stagnant in the Yuan Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, when the art of opera was highly prosperous, there are only three Yue Fei plays left, namely Kong Wenqing's "Dongchuang Incident", Quan Renjie's "Qin Taishi's Dongchuang Incident", and Anonymous's "Song General Yue Fei's Jingzhong".
Now it seems that the official evaluation of Yue Fei by the Yuan Dynasty is extremely high. The Yuan Dynasty official history book "Song History·Yue Fei Biography" listed Yue Fei among the ministers and military generals, ranking second after Han Shizhong.
Yue Fei Opera in the Ming Dynasty entered a period of rapid development and overall prosperity. In the early Ming Dynasty, the rulers were even more vigilant against opera, the most popular art. The "Laws of the Ming Dynasty - Regulations Prohibiting the Reproduction of Zaju Operas" stipulates: "Anyone who performs Zaju dramas is not allowed to dress up the statues of emperors and concubines, loyal ministers and martyrs, and ancestors and saints. Anyone who violates this rule will be punished with a hundred sticks. Those who dress up in the homes of officials and civilians will be punished with the same crime." "Literati and playwrights are naturally cautious. Therefore, in the early Ming Dynasty, there were very few plays based on Yue Fei's deeds, and they were also mediocre in terms of ideological and artistic quality.
However, history is always surprisingly similar. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, due to the "Wengfu" Wang's control of power, just like the "Jingkang Incident" in the Song Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, the Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, was captured by the Wa Ci army in the "Tumu Incident"; After that, generals such as General Qian, Xiong Tingbi, and Yuan Chonghuan, who fought against the enemy, performed great feats, but were killed one after another, and their fates were very similar to Yue Fei's; then Yan Song and Wei Zhongxian successively played tricks on the emperor, just like Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Xiu and others were reborn; and then again Afterwards, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong rebelled against the Central Plains, and hundreds of thousands of Qing soldiers attacked the Great Wall... The unprecedented intensification of class and ethnic conflicts, and the harsh reality of a weak country, a powerful emperor, and an undercover minister made Yue Fei's deeds suddenly become a ruler. It is the best theme to appeal to the people and literati to vent their anger and compassion.
In the forty-third year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xujun, the Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty, issued an edict: "You are the loyal minister Yue Fei of the Song Dynasty. He is loyal to the sun and has great filial piety. He is angry at Jingkang's shame and swears to be the master of Qing Shuo Mo. His original post was Song Zhongwen Mu Yue'e. King, I am here to confer you the title of King of Yuewu, the Great Jingmo Emperor of the Three Realms, who protects the disaster and brings prosperity." Yue Fei was canonized as the "Great Emperor Jingmo of the Three Realms", officially pushing Yue Fei to the altar. People used various forms to promote and praise Yue Fei. The Yue Fei Temple in Hangzhou, the Yue Fei Temple in Tangyin and the Yue Fei Temple in Zhuxian Town that have been preserved to this day were all built during this period.
In this general environment, literati began to think about the meaning behind Yue Fei's unjust case and pursue the underlying reasons for the failure of the anti-golden movement. Yang Yiqing, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, wrote in a poem: "The treacherous ministers will die first, and the weak masters will forget their homeland and the country will be divided." It can be seen that Yue Fei is divided. It is a great inspiration to literati and has a profound origin.
Being hated by one's own people but admired by the enemy has to be said to be a shame for the Han people. I have to say that this is a sad and hateful thing about the Han people.
