Zhao Shuli Historical Drama
by Zhao Shuli
About This Novel
As a dramatist, Zhao Shuli has written many drama scripts. He is deeply involved in local operas such as Shangdang Bangzi, which not only retains the characteristics of traditional opera, but also makes bold breakthroughs. Such as the adaptations of "Three Passes Banquet", "Ye Palace Pictures", "Han Yuniang", etc. "Sanguan Banquet" is adapted from Shangdang Bangzi's traditional play "Loyalty and Filial Piety Festival". It tells the story of the peace negotiation between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom went to the Sanguan Banquet in person. The accompanying person turned out to be Yang Yanhui, the fourth son of the Yang family who surrendered to the Liao Kingdom more than ten years ago. Yang Yanhui was frightened in his heart, but his wife Princess Peach Blossom was still willing to deal with it after learning the truth. At the "Three Passes Banquet", Taijun She used the wine cup as a guide to reveal the secret secretly, and Queen Mother Xiao was shocked. This play demonstrates the moral principle of advocating loyalty with its exquisite layout. The script "Picture of Ye Palace" is based on the tyrannical rule of Zhao Tianwang Shihu after the Sixteen Kingdoms period. "Han Yuniang" also has a plot twist: in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, a Henan woman named Han Yuniang was captured by the Jin soldiers. She was used as a tool by Zhang Wanfu's subordinate Ma Erhu and forcibly betrothed to Chen Pengju, a scholar who was also captured, in order to win people's hearts. In the bridal chamber, the two complained about the sufferings of their family and country. Yuniang learned that Yue's army was approaching and persuaded Pengju to join the army to serve the country. However, this triggered a series of tragedies. In the end, Han Yuniang died and her husband rushed to the front line. The balance between artistry and rationality, the game of dominance and resistance, and the intensive cultivation of the quintessence of drama give Zhao Shuli's drama a strong spiritual core.
