Want to know the blood and tears about "going to the West" in the detailed history?

The Journey to the West is a vivid portrayal of the blood and tears, bitterness and hatred, affection and love of the working people under specific historical conditions.

"Hequ Baode, ten years and nine years, men leave their mouths and women dig vegetables." In feudal society, due to the barren land and the poverty of the people here, and the exploitation of the feudal ruling class, the broad masses of people had to leave their homes, pass through the killing tiger mouth in northern Shanxi, cross the Great Wall, and reclaim land in Chahar and Suiyuan, which is now the Hetao and Houshan areas. Because the killing tiger mouth is located in the west of Zhangjiakou, another passage of the Great Wall, it is called "West Exit". Mainlanders call it "going west" to enter Inner Mongolia from Shahukou. "Old Records of Hequ" records: "He Yiren reclaimed the grassland beyond the Great Wall, exported it in spring and summer, and returned at the end of the year, but he can manage masterpieces and support his family. If the land is barren and the people are poor, those who eat outside the mouth will have no worries. " In order to support their families and maintain food and clothing, many poor farmers have to face countless difficulties along the way and sell their labor force to the mouth of "Only the Yellow River is rich in the world", which is a completely inhuman life.

"Walking to the West" was written in the fifth year of Xianfeng (AD 1855), reflecting the infinite sadness of the newlyweds Taichun and Yu Lian who were forced to live and reluctantly separated after the drought in Shanxi. The whole play has no complicated storyline. What attracts people is not the story, but the details, which is the emotion of the true feelings. The newly-married Taichun went out to borrow food, and when she didn't borrow it, she made an appointment with her partner to make a living in the West. When he had to tell his wife Sun the news that he was leaving, the plot of the whole play reached a climax, and through the dialogue between the characters, the feelings of husband and wife were expressed. The husband went to make a living outside the mouth, and the wife urged him in many ways. Seriously, while echoing. The dialogue is so beautiful and affectionate. Through the language of the characters, the character characteristics of the characters are deeply portrayed: brother, you go to the west,

It is really hard for my little sister to stay,

Hug the comb box,

Comb my brother's hair

In Qing Dynasty, men wore long braids, which was a unique costume folk custom. From the time when the wife combs her husband's hair to the instructions on food, clothing, housing and transportation after leaving home, all the things that the wife should think of are: "Eat while it is hot", "Drink long running water", "Take the road", "Live in a big shop" and "Take a boat to occupy a cabin". What the average wife can't think of, she also thought of it. One pile at a time, so considerate. At the last moment, respectively, spoke a pure young woman most worried about:

My brother is a layman in the west,

Don't covet bonuses,

I'm afraid you've changed your mind,

Forget my sister's kindness.

She earnestly warned her husband not to philander, and friends without emotional foundation are unreliable:

Money is a friend,

There is no money at present,

Not as good as my sister,

I'm getting older and older.

We can see a simple, affectionate, gentle and delicate image of rural women through the whole content of exhortation and the whole process of inseparable. Finally, Taichun finally broke up with Yu Lian. When Taichun "walked out of two and a half miles and turned to look back", "I saw Yu Lian's little sister, still standing in the main room." This sincere, plain and bold outline can leave the audience with unlimited imagination and shed tears of sympathy for the sad and moving scene in front of them.
