   In the first plot of "Spine of the Taihang", the narrative background is the Shanxi and Shanghai battles in the early days of the War of Resistance against Japan, with emphasis on the Shanxi battles, while the background is placed on the Shanghai battles and the Songhu battle. Obviously, this is a TV drama that combines grand narrative and small narrative skillfully. "Spine of the Taihang" can be watched as a TV series. From the content that has been broadcast so far, the historical data is solid and there is no omission. It is not an exaggeration to watch it as a historical science and education film of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Solid historical data is one of the important aspects that "Spine of Taihang" currently surpasses "Liangjian".

   In "Spine of the Taihang", from the grand narrative perspective, there are many anti-Japanese veterans such as Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, Mr. Peng, Mr. Zhu, etc. In the national army, Chairman Chiang, Zhang Zhizhong, Yan Xishan, etc. also appeared on the scene. The veterans of our army maintained a very surging revolutionary optimism. This kind of revolutionary optimism was directly applied to the war of resistance against Japan, which can be described as very boosting morale. As for the display of the national army, it has not been superficial, and has not even deliberately discredited anyone.

   has been aired, especially the talks between Chairman Chiang and General Zhang Zhizhong about the situation in Shanghai. The national army's determination to fight to the death and the defeat that it is about to face can all be presented in the form of conversation. At present, in the frontal battlefield of the Battle of Songhu, the national army was also fighting bloody battles. In the TV series "Spine of the Taihang", the audience is even more informed about the strength of the Japanese invaders in the air force.

   Even for the presentation of Yan Xishan, the commander-in-chief of the Shanxi Theater, he did his best to exercise restraint and respect history. As for the Eighth Route Army, although they were dissatisfied with Yan Xishan's combat deployment and his attitude toward our army, they still affirmed the cruelty of the Shanxi battlefield and the arduousness of the war of resistance. Obviously, in this war of resistance against Japan, everyone who stood together was our own family, and everyone fought bravely with the same hatred. Not demonizing the national army is also an important artistic accomplishment of "Spine of Taihang".

  The microscopic perspective of this TV series includes spy warfare and group camp warfare. Among the plots that have been broadcast, there are large-scale formations of great men and long-term predictions of the battle situation, as well as micro-level spy warfare and group camp operations to defeat Japanese invaders. The story of the spy war in Taiyuan Bookstore can be described as a very influential micro-narrative in the grand narrative. This slow narrative may seem trivial, but in the follow-up plot, it will surely lead the needle and accomplish some big things. This is the great energy of the screenwriter's narrative skills. In terms of the effective combination of macro and micro narratives, this "Spine of Taihang" is also a classic.

   In the presentation of local combat, the first episode "Spine of Taihang" presents its own narrative technicality. This is on par with "Bright Sword". In the TV series "Bright Sword", there is a big storyline of Li Yunlong's attack on the Japanese highlands. Li Yunlong's troops can be said to have a clear style of play, and their operations are very organized. The beauty of war drama lies in the organization of troops and the micro-battlefield. This kind of narrative ability was also clearly demonstrated in the battle to destroy the Japanese invaders airport in the first episode of "Spine of the Taihang". This is an anti-Japanese drama narrative with its own small-scale combat technology, not some anti-Japanese drama.

   And the display of Japanese invaders is also facing the historical reality. On the macro level, the Japanese invaders' ability to platoon troops is very positive. It was Yan Xishan's mouth to express the urgency of the Shanxi battle and the cunning of the Japanese invaders. At the micro level, our military commanders directly encountered small groups of Japanese invaders. Although we repelled this force, our generals did not underestimate the enemy at all. Instead, they analyzed the reasons for the partial failure of the Japanese invaders and believed that our army was about to encounter real Opponents. The high degree of affirmation of the Japanese invaders' combat capability is the greatest praise for our final victory in the War of Resistance.

   At the same time, I have to say, "In "Spine of the Taihang", the real spirit comes from the revolutionary optimism of our great people! This revolutionary optimism runs through the narrative tone of the entire TV series. Revolution means the arduousness of the War of Resistance, and optimism means the confidence that the War of Resistance behind enemy lines will be able to win. Our army finally fought bravely, washed the sands with great waves, and won the war of resistance, relying on this brave and fearless revolutionary optimism. Movies and TV dramas with the theme of the War of Resistance against Japan do not put this spirit in the first place, and it is not enough to show the momentum of the battlefield behind enemy lines.

   For example, in the premiere plot of "Spine of the Taihang", our army blew up more than 20 Japanese invaders. The bridge section where Chairman Chiang rewarded 20,000 oceans was full of dramatic tension. Chairman Chiang was worried and raised Dayang from 10,000 to 20,000, which is full of inner drama. On Chairman Mao’s side, he was chatting and laughing and jokingly said that Chairman Chiang was a rush. The revolutionary optimism of our army can be said to be passionate. This kind of revolutionary optimistic narrative method is reflected in the specific film and television dramas of the Anti-Japanese War.
