Yanxi's In-depth Analysis of the Legend of Zhen Huan

Answer 1

Legend of Zhen Huan and Yanxi Strategy had a lot of in-depth analysis:

* * 1. Character Setting **

1. * * Protagonist **
- * * Zhen Huan **
- His growth was rather complicated. When she first entered the palace, she was an intelligent and pure girl. After witnessing the cruelty of the palace, she had concealed her strength and bided her time. She fell in love with the emperor, then had a misunderstanding and finally turned against him. After she returned to the palace, her dark side was a gradual process. From the simple self-protection to the revenge and protection of her family, she became meticulous and cautious, and finally reached the peak of the harem. Her view of love was more complicated. Her feelings for the emperor were mixed with many factors, and there was a sincere but helpless feeling between her and Yunli.
- * * Wei Yingluo *
- The moment he appeared, he was a quick-witted, bold, and meticulous "ruthless character." She entered the palace as a palace maid with a clear goal. She regarded revenge as a major event in her life, and love was not the most important thing in her heart. She overcame all obstacles in the palace, killing all gods and devils. Relying on her own wisdom and means, she used all kinds of opportunities to fight back against her enemies. Her promotion in the harem was relatively smooth, and she finally became the imperial concubine. From the initial misunderstanding and hatred with the emperor, she developed into love and had a happier ending than Zhen Huan.
2. * * Supporting role **
- * * Empress Chunyuan and Empress Fucha **
- Both of them were the Emperor's beloved first wives and were kind, with short and sad endings. However, Empress Chunyuan was like a white moonlight in the emperor's heart, while Empress Fucha made Qianlong feel guilty, and Empress Fucha had an actual part in the play.
- * * Yunli and Fu Heng **
- They were both male supporting roles, and their feelings for the female lead remained unchanged. Yunli had a relationship with Zhen Huan and had children with her. In the end, she took poison to protect Zhen Huan and committed suicide. Fu Heng was infatuated with protecting Wei Yingluo but never got her. He even sacrificed himself to save Yingluo and had no descendants.
- * * Huan Bi and Er Qing **
- They were both palace maids and had high aspirations. They had betrayed their masters and relied on means to marry men who did not love them. However, Er Qing was even more crazy and vicious. Huan Bi was relatively virtuous after marrying his highness and helped to deal with the family affairs.

- * * Judging from the relationships of other supporting roles **
- In Legend of Zhen Huan, there was a three-pronged situation in the early stages of the battle. The Empress, Concubine Hua, and Zhen Huan's eyebrows each formed a faction. Concubine Hua had Noble Cao as her helper. In Yanxi Strategy, the villain combination of Concubine Gao and Concubine Jia was similar to the relationship between Concubine Hua and Noble Cao. In some ways, Concubine Chun in Yanxi Strategy was like the combination of Concubine Duan and Mei Zhuang in Legend of Zhen Huan. The way she protected Empress Fucha was similar to Mei Zhuang protecting Zhen Huan.

* * 2. Plot Style **

1. * * Legend of Zhen Huan **
- It was a battle of wits and courage, and the plot was full of twists and turns. Zhen Huan's growth and darkening experience were rich. From the innocence when she first entered the palace to the transformation after experiencing various hardships, she involved many palace fights, such as Concubine Hua crippling Xia Dongchun, the tragic death of the palace maid with the word "blessing" and other events to promote the development of the plot. There were many plots in the series that showed the schemes and strategies of the characters. The open and secret struggles of the various forces in the harem were complicated and exciting.
2. * * Yanxi Strategy Guide **
- It was regarded as a brainless palace drama. Wei Yingluo had a strong combat ability from the beginning. She had been using cheats all the way and her counterattack was ingenious. She dealt with all kinds of opponents almost effortlessly. The audience could feel a sense of pleasure when watching. Compared to Legend of Zhen Huan, the plot was slightly lacking in depth strategy and complicated character inner thoughts.

* * 3. The presentation of history **

Although the two dramas were set in the Qing Dynasty and the characters in the dramas had historical archetypes, there were situations where the plot was fabricated, which might mislead the audience's understanding of history. To a certain extent, they were the product of entertainment to death. Although they were highly ornamental and topic-oriented, compared to the main drama, there was a big gap in the presentation of historical authenticity. However, they also reflected the current audience's love and demand for palace fights.
