Pingyao people joke

Your opinion is profound, but I beg to differ. Wang Zhanggui was killed in a Russian family, leaving only an only son. In order to keep Wang Zhanggui, Zhao Dong took more than 200 people to save him. The background of this is that during the Guangxu period, the Qing government had signed unequal treaties with Russia, such as the Beijing Treaty and the Ili Treaty. The Qing government was corrupt and incompetent, and the essence of Shanxi merchant culture was honesty first, and profits were controlled with justice.

Knowing this background, it is clear that the Zhao Dong family brought people to save Wang Zhanggui's descendants. Zhao Dongjia's righteous act touched the whole city, and then many rich and powerful aristocratic daughters took the initiative to dedicate themselves. Every character in it is writing the words "the meaning of home and country" in the way of that era and the values under that historical background. Liu's daughter's last words before she died of dystocia expressed her willingness and support for Zhao's move in her bones. Under the years of war, the escort knew that the escort was full of dangers, but he still set foot on the journey without hesitation, and described what is Shanxi merchant culture, what is contract spirit and what is national justice.

These behaviors may seem out of place in the current background, but when we watch historical dramas, we must substitute ourselves into history in order to understand the helplessness, hardship and grief of the story characters, as well as their justice, purity and heroism. If we don't criticize history from the perspective of modern people, who knows if people will have bad habits when they look at us in the future? Are our values distorted in the eyes of future people?
