Are there any documentaries about the history of Song Dynasty customs?

Tracing the Different Lives of the Song and Jin Dynasties

The folklore of the Song Dynasty has always been a theme that historians have talked about, and in this era of cultural abundance, the lives of the underclass were also very rich - both materially and spiritually. For us ordinary people, the scene in "Qingming Shanghe Tu" is the most intuitive embodiment. The scroll encompasses all aspects of life and is the best way to understand folklore. And it's from "Along the River During Qingming Festival" that this documentary begins its narrative.

"In Pursuit of a Different Life in the Song and Jin Dynasties" is set in Kaifeng during the Northern Song Dynasty, and reveals the close connection between Northern Song customs and culture and modern life through the interpretation of cuisine, urban planning, economic development and culture and entertainment. I particularly liked some of the interesting details mentioned in the documentary, such as the "tea drinker," the prototype of afternoon tea, and the Song Dynasty money jar "pouman," as well as the scene of the Daxiangguo Temple as a flea market at the time.

The history and culture of Kaifeng is presented to the audience in a vivid way through on-site shooting, scene reproduction and 3D animation. The audio-visual language and the easy and lively narrative in the documentary make the whole clip more attractive and readable. Watching the documentary, I not only learned about the Northern Song Dynasty, but also felt the power of Chinese wisdom and national self-confidence.

The Pursuit of a Different Life in the Song and Jin Dynasties is a documentary that memorializes the history of Song customs, a ****4 episodes of 25 minutes each, respectively, "Vegetable Soup Fugue", "The Old City", "The Rich Jah Scripture", and "Mundane Chanting". The prosperity and civilized development of the Northern Song Dynasty is admirable, and we, as modern people, should draw wisdom and inspiration from it and incorporate it into our daily lives. I believe that only by understanding and passing on history can we better grasp the present and meet the challenges of the future.

China Season 2 (2) Dreamland

Our history textbooks contain too many grand narratives and too little individual care. This movie is rare in that it memorializes the lost Tokyo Dreamland with the dream of Zhao Ji, who was in the city of the five kingdoms, and also depicts the process of the establishment of the Mongol Yuan with calm and detailed strokes. I especially love the two episodes of "The City" and "Monsoon". Westerners always make history of the British ambassador Magalhaes visit to China for the purpose of wrapped up in a crown, commerce for the false, plunder for the real, Qianlong may see, but the gap between East and West at this time is not one person's power can be changed, the old China sent out the goodwill, the young West back to the disaster.

The setting is cool, but there is a Chinese aesthetic. The narrative is simple, but objective. This episode of The Great Emperor is very conservative in its choice of material, but there is an underlying message that Kang Hsi had learned from both the East and the West, and had achieved the Confucian ideal of sainthood, but he had only used Western learning as a "technique" to maintain his rule, not as a "path" to popularize it and use it to open up the minds of his people and activate their productive forces. In the ending of the chapter "The Servant", Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui walked opposite each other under the red wall, Hai Rui did not look back, while Zhang Juzheng looked back several times. "After such a courtier has gone away, there is only a lapel of evening light left in the Ming Empire." This strong sense of fatalism is quite like the essence of The Fifteenth Year of the Ten Thousand Calendar! Paired with the wordless "Lanting Sequence" tune, it could kill a few glasses of light wine.

The voice-overs by narrators Zhou Tao and He Gui made me feel the temperature and historical sentiment of the documentary. Zhou Tao's heartfelt interpretation and delicate and gentle voice, and He Gui's thick and intimate voice, connect the audience and history closely together. Their voices not only enriched the audience's experience, but also gave a unique charm to different historical figures. The well-polished narration is even more beautiful and authentic, making me feel as if I were experiencing it myself and listening to the echoes of history.
