In 2013, a movie called "The Great Tribulation" was released. In the previous nearly seven years, this movie was basically unknown, even if "Da Ming Jie" was really a good movie. Since
is a good movie, why is it unknown? The main reason is that "The Great Tribulation" really doesn't meet the appetite of those who are used to the assembly line work of big names-no big names, no strange plots, and no special effects of fifty cents. The significance of "Da Ming Jie" lies in the discussion of the two things of treating people and treating the country. The story of the movie
is very simple. During the Chongzhen period, the Ming Dynasty suffered internal and external troubles. Li Zicheng's rebel army had reached Tongguan. Sun Chuanting was ordered to resist the enemy when he was in danger, but the plague spread in the army, and Wu, a doctor, stepped forward in times of crisis and finally controlled the plague.
just look at the summary of the story, it seems simple and a bit old-fashioned, but in the development of the plot, there are many details worthy of the audience's taste. In the past dynasties of China, the plague is a topic that cannot be avoided. In the case of ancient medical conditions being backward, a widespread plague will undoubtedly cause severe damage to the country. In the movie "Da Ming Jie", the plague was narrowed to spread only in the frontline army. It seemed that the scope was not large, but for the Ming Dynasty, which was about to fall, it could not stand even such a small blow. Under such circumstances, the soldier Sun Chuanting and the healer Wu Youke came together. I want to say here that both Sun Chuanting and Wu Youke have people in history, and they both lived in the Chongzhen reign, but it is not known whether they have met each other.
As we said earlier, the plague was finally brought under control, but in the process of preventing and controlling the plague, many thought-provoking things happened. For example, Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting behind him, repeatedly urged Sun Chuanting to leave the army when the plague was extremely serious. Although expensive as an emperor, Chongzhen's military talent is obviously not comparable to Sun Chuanting, who has experienced many battles, but there has never been a lack of layman's guidance in history. When a person is in a high position, he is often confused and confident about his abilities and makes some ridiculous and wrong decisions.
In fact, Chongzhen’s urging is not too much trouble for Sun Chuanting. After all, Sun Chuanting is the only person Chongzhen can count on, and Sun Chuanting is on the front line, he still has some power in his hands, but when facing the Tongguan gentry , Sun Chuanting still couldn't calm down. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, social ills had been accumulated for a long time, and this situation also spread to the army. The border military system that had been implemented since the Han Dynasty was disintegrated by the unscrupulous gentry in Tongguan. The fall of Juntian into private hands not only allowed these people to have a large amount of reactionary wealth, but also made the foundation of the Ming Dynasty’s frontiers no longer exist. Sun Chuanting didn't want to care about this. He only hoped that these tycoons would give some wealth to support when the country was in danger, but this group of people who had sucked the blood of the country refused him, and this forced Sun Chuanting to kill.
At the end of the story, Wu again controlled the plague in the army. However, in a blink of an eye, the soldiers who had been healed turned to the scorched earth on the battlefield. Emperor Chongzhen also hanged himself two years after the battle. The festering of a country is manifested in all aspects. It is impossible to bring the country back to life with a general or a doctor. It is naturally self-evident whether doctors and the country are more important. In fact, in the long river of history, countless sages have already summed up this simple theory, but we cannot prevent the story in "The Great Tribulation" from happening repeatedly. The decay always happens slowly inadvertently, and in the building will fall. Before, we had already forgotten all the lessons.
