What is the significance of the wheat planted by the government for a long time in Know No?
This move seems to be a very nonsense and ridiculous thing, but in fact, growing wheat has different significance for the whole TV series. Wan Xuan brushed the play many times and finally understood it!
Top floor: it means good weather, good harvest in agriculture, peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
In ancient China, agriculture was the foundation of the country, and farming paid attention to solar terms. Spring planting, long summer, autumn harvest and winter storage, without losing four, don't you think the grain is abundant? . It can be said that emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to spring ploughing, especially in Wan Bu Zaji. Holy driving plowing in Ditan? Record.
It is enough to see that emperors of past dynasties attached importance to agricultural development, so the TV series "Know No" with the history of Song Dynasty as the background is no exception. The new emperor's obsession with growing wheat seems outrageous, but it actually makes sense.
The emperor planted wheat for so long, hoping that the country would have a good harvest every year, let the people live a happy life and make the country rich and strong. This is the most superficial meaning of the government growing wheat.
A deeper level: Wheat represents the old power of Guan Yuzhou and is a symbol of his right-hand man.
I remember when Zhao Zongquan was still in Yuzhou, he liked to grow wheat. The play gave him a big vision of wandering in the green wheat field. The audience was joking? Does Yuan Longping know? .
At that time, the incident was sudden. Although he planted a lot of wheat in Yuzhou, he was forced to come to Bianjing before they matured and became emperor like a duck to water. Everyone thinks he has the power to save the car. The new king is justified by the imperial edict of the prince, but only he knows that he is not safe on this throne.
So even when he became emperor, he didn't give up growing wheat, because he felt insecure in his heart, so he opened up a field indoors and focused on growing wheat. This wheat represents not only Zhao Zongquan, but also the old employees of Yuzhou who follow him.
It turned out that Gu begged the butler for wheat and wanted to propose to the Sheng family, but the butler refused. However, when Gu made another contribution, the government was willing to give Gu some wheat.
The timing of this second wheat ripening is very coincidental. That is, at the end of the whole TV series, the butler and Gu joined hands to seize power from the Queen Mother and take full control of power. At this time, the wheat was ripe again, and the housekeeper specially sent some to the Queen Mother.
In fact, the growing environment of wheat is the same as that of the official old part of Yuzhou.
Originally, wheat should grow in the fields of nature, not under this eaves. Now it is limited everywhere and needs special care. The same is true of the old employees in Yuzhou. As a new force, it is also limited everywhere, so be more careful. It can be seen that Mai represents the old headquarters of Yuzhou.
Deeper: Wheat implies the turmoil of the imperial court and the position of the officials themselves.
Originally, Song Renzong wanted to pass on the throne to Wang Yong and Rebecca, but the two men secretly fought and even forced the palace directly, and eventually both sides lost, which led to the new emperor enjoying the benefits of the fisherman, ascended the throne, inherited the unification and became the master of DaSong.
However, the new emperor is weak and is not a good candidate to seize the position. It just happened to catch up with a good opportunity, so naturally many people were not convinced, and even many people only obeyed the orders of the queen mother and did not listen to the new emperor.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he faced not only the obstruction and unconvinced of the queen mother, but also the imperial seal was always in the hands of the queen mother. The queen mother listened to politics and refused to return to politics, forcing the emperor to be restricted everywhere.
It can be said that the situation of the new emperor is the same as the wheat planted in the palace. If the new emperor wants to grow wheat, then the queen mother is the palace that restricts the growth of wheat.
To sum up, it seems absurd that the official likes to grow wheat, but in fact, it is meaningful, not only because he hopes that the weather will be good and the people will be happy, but also because he represents his own situation in Yuzhou and the official likes his own situation, which has profound meaning in the play.
