The Story of Minglan 23 Japanese Translation Reika

Abstract "The Story of Minglan" (知否知否应是绿肥红瘦）is a television series produced by Noon Sunshine Pictures（正午阳光）, directed by Zhang Kaizhou, and starring Zhao Liying, Feng Shaofeng, and others. As soon as it aired, the drama gained immense popularity, with its daily popularity index on iQIYI exceeding 8,000, topping the rankings of trending dramas. Unlike typical palace dramas that focus on intrigue and power struggles, The Story of Minglan is based on the domestic affairs of a fifth-rank official named Sheng Hong during the Northern Song Dynasty. It narrates the daily life of an official family in ancient Chinese society. Not only does it depict the lifestyle of ancient Chinese families, but it also encompasses the folk customs and the refined pursuits of literati during the Northern Song period.

Introduction The family is the best context for rooting and practicing ritual culture, and The Story of Minglan excels in presenting how rituals are integrated into family life, making them accessible and relatable. The People’s Daily highly praised the drama, stating, “From the differences in titles used for greetings among family members to the norms of wedding and funeral rituals, this drama can be seen as a vivid lesson in traditional Chinese culture.”（Wang,2022)

Although The Story of Minglan does not explicitly specify the historical period in which the story takes place, the plot involving Zhao Zongquan’s succession to the throne as the son of the imperial family suggests that the character was modeled after the historical figure Zhao Zongshi. Furthermore, the drama’s primary setting in Bianjing and its scene designs indicate that the story takes place during the reigns of Emperor Renzong and Emperor Yingzong of the Northern Song Dynasty. This clear historical framework gives the series a strong sense of logical consistency, distinguishing it from historical dramas that fully fictionalize their settings. It showcases Chinese aesthetics, especially the unique artistic pursuits of the Song Dynasty.

Many details in the drama were recognized by viewers. In its production, it incorporates numerous elements of traditional Chinese culture, including everyday language, attire, set designs, and wedding rituals, all of which aim to faithfully represent the etiquette and traditions of Chinese culture. Even specific costumes and speech patterns align with the historical context of the story. The series avoids arbitrary reinterpretations of history and tradition for the sake of sensationalism, using its cinematic effects to demonstrate the charm of traditional Chinese culture, making it a standout among Chinese historical dramas.

Marriage Customs The Book of Rites – Meaning of Marriage （《礼记·昏义》）states: “The marriage rite is the union of two families to serve the ancestral temple and continue the family line. Therefore, a gentleman values it greatly.” Since ancient times, China has been known as a land of etiquette and a cradle of civilization. Etiquette culture, as an essential part of traditional Chinese culture, cannot be overlooked. Marriage, as the “foundation of rites,” holds irreplaceable importance, and the associated rituals are rich in meaning. The Story of Minglan features many traditional Chinese marriage customs.

The first example is the use of the “betrothal goose”. In ancient Chinese weddings, the wild goose symbolized chastity and auspiciousness, representing a lifelong partnership. The drama highlights the “betrothal goose” during a wedding scene and again during the betrothal process when Minglan marries. The Book of Rites – Meaning of Marriage documents the six traditional steps of marriage: proposal (Nacai), inquiry (Wenming), betrothal (Naji), offering gifts (Nazheng), setting a date (Qingqi), and fetching the bride (Qinying). Among these, Nazheng includes the giving of a betrothal goose, which the drama meticulously portrays.

Another example is the “veil-lifting ceremony” (Queshan). When daughters of the Sheng family get married, the Queshan ceremony is performed. This ancient tradition, originating in the Jin Dynasty, involves a bride using a fan to shield her face for modesty, symbolizing reunion and happiness. In the drama, Minglan delicately holds the fan in a manner that is both elegant and shy, resembling the modern custom of brides holding bouquets.(Xu,Fang,Lv,Fang,2018)

Rituals of Banquets Banquets were a hallmark of social interaction in the Song Dynasty, widely popular as a way to build relationships. The drama showcases noblewomen of prestigious families hosting elegant and luxurious banquets, demonstrating refined “streamside drinking” (Qushuiliushang) settings and elaborate dining etiquette. “Streamside drinking” is a poetic ancient tradition, mainly popular among literati. Specifically, it involves a garden setting with flowing water, where wine cups are floated downstream. Whoever receives the cup must drink and compose a poem on the spot. In Song-era banquets, hosts sent invitations in advance, and recipients would generally reply regarding their attendance. The etiquette followed the standards of The Rites of Zhou, involving a sequence of welcoming guests, saluting, offering wine, and thanking the host.(Ye,2014)

Tea Culture Tea was an indispensable part of life in the Northern Song Dynasty, giving rise to tea artistry and etiquette. The drama specifically highlights the “tea whisking” (Diancha) technique of the Song Dynasty, reviving this forgotten art for modern audiences. “Tea whisking” was a popular tea-making technique during the Song period, encompassing steps such as roasting, grinding, sieving, warming the cup, preparing the water, and whisking the tea. In ancient Chinese interactions, offering tea to guests symbolized hospitality and respect. Scenes in the drama feature tea whisking multiple times, including during lessons with Nanny Kong, Lin Qinshuang’s instructions to Molan, and the interactions involving Madam Xiao Qin.(Wen,Zhou,2024)

Incense Rituals The Song Dynasty developed sophisticated methods for grinding and blending incense, known as Hexiang. Incense powders could be shaped using molds and lit for slow-burning, leaving a delicate scent. The drama features two types of incense rituals: “incense tracing” (Xiangzhuan) and “indirect burning” (Gehuofenxiang). “Indirect burning” became popular during the Song Dynasty, emphasizing the aroma rather than smoke. The process involves heating incense at low temperatures for a prolonged and refined fragrance, avoiding overpowering scents. The detailed steps, such as preparing charcoal, layering incense ash, and placing incense pellets, are depicted in the drama, notably during Nanny Kong’s lessons.(Zhan,2019)

Pitch-Pot The Pitch-Pot game (Touhu) is a traditional social game that originated around the pre-Qin period, derived from the sport of archery. In its early popularity, pitch-pot was a game filled with "ceremonial significance," requiring elegant music to accompany the gameplay. By the Qin and Han dynasties, it had become one of the most common entertainments at banquets for guests, and subsequently, it "swept through" various dynasties and social strata, becoming a veritable "national game." During the Song Dynasty, pitch-pot was mainly popular among literati, who would "play pitch-pot and chess, burning candles and returning late at night." The Northern Song statesman Sima Guang wrote "The New Rules of Pitch-pot"(《投壶新格) in which he combined the skill of pitch-pot to promote the Confucian doctrine of the Mean, emphasizing that pitch-pot could help improve personal cultivation. He also made detailed regulations on the utensils and rules of pitch-pot, making it more standardized. For example, in terms of pitch-pot techniques, Sima Guang established twenty categories such as "First Hit（Youchu）" (the first arrow goes into the pot), "Consecutive Hits(Lianzhong)" (the second arrow hits consecutively), "Through the Ear(Guaner)" (the arrow goes into the pot's ear), "Scattered Arrows(Sanjian)" (the first arrow does not go into the pot, and from the second arrow onwards, they go in), "Full Pot(Quanhu)" (every arrow hits the pot), "Last Arrow(Youzhong)" (the last arrow goes into the pot), and "Valiant Arrow(Xiaojian)" (the arrow that is thrown into the pot and bounces back out, then goes into the pot again). Young Minglan's first time to stand out was to win back the betrothal goose for Huan Lan and to save the honor of her family, but this act of boldness also indirectly led to the tragedy of Minglan's childhood.(Xu,Fang,Lv,Fang,2018)

Polo Polo, also known as “striking the ball”(Daqiu), is a sport where players ride on horseback and hit a ball into a goal using a mallet. The size of a polo ball during the Song Dynasty was roughly equivalent to the size of an adult's fist, and the balls were made of either wood or leather. Emperor Taizong of Song once ordered the relevant authorities to establish the rituals for playing polo during the Taiping Xingguo era. From the records in "History of Song - Rites(《宋史·礼记》)" we can understand the rules of playing polo at that time: the game was divided into two teams competing against each other, with no fixed number of players per team, ranging from two to hundreds; the two teams wore different uniforms for easy identification; the game began when the ball was thrown to the center of the field, with a single-goal match won by getting the ball into the net, and a double-goal match won by getting the ball into the opponent's goal.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, women's polo also saw significant development. Emperor Huizong of Song established a royal women's polo team, which would organize performances for the public to watch during festivals. It later became a tradition for the royal women's polo team to hold an annual spring performance at the Jinming Pool. Once a year in spring, at the Jinming Pool located outside the Xinzheng Gate of Bianjing City, various entertainments such as dragon boat races and competitions took place, among which the royal women's polo match was one of the most exciting events. In the drama, the two polo matches also played a role in advancing the plot. The first match was when Minglan, in order to help her friend Yu Yanran win back her mother's relic, showed her prowess on the polo field for the first time. The male and female protagonists, on the other hand, solidified their relationship during the second polo match, witnessed by the Empress.(Xu,Fang,Lv,Fang,2018)

By combining a proper historical perspective with rich cultural elements, it skillfully balances history and art, serving as a significant medium for promoting traditional Chinese culture.

《知否知否应是绿肥红瘦》 23 日语笔译 沙丽佳

摘要 《知否知否应是绿肥红瘦》是由正午阳光影视有限公司出品，张开宙执导，赵丽颖、冯绍峰等主演的古代社会家庭题材电视剧。该剧一经播出便获得超高关注，爱奇艺指数单日突破8000热度，位居热播剧榜首。不同于往常的钩心斗角的宫廷剧，该剧取材于一个北宋五品官盛紘的家事，讲述了中国古代社会官宦家族的生活日常。它不仅展现了一幅中国古代家族景观图，还把北宋世俗民情、文人雅趣囊括其中。 引言 家庭是礼文化落地生根的最好场域，《知否》的独到之处就在于将礼文化在家庭生活中铺展开来，把看似遥不可及的礼文化变得触手可及。《人民日报》就给予《知否》极大的肯定，称“小到家族亲眷相互问安时的称谓差异，大到婚丧嫁娶的礼仪规范，都让这部剧堪称一堂生动的中国传统文化普及课”。(王滋，2022） 虽然《知否》并未指明故事发生的历史朝代，但剧中赵宗全以宗室之子身份继承皇位的经历，基本可以判断其以历史人物赵宗实为历史原型的创作事实。并且，该剧以汴京为故事的主要发生地，剧中的场景布置等，都表明了故事发生于宋仁宗、宋英宗在位的北宋时期。如此明晰的时代框定，使《知否》具有相对严格的逻辑规定性，不同于那些将历史背景完全架空的古装剧而呈现出中国美学，尤其是宋代所特有的美学追求。 剧中很多细节获得了观众认可，在拍摄方面运用了大量的中国传统文化元素，人物的日常用语、着装、场景设计、婚嫁习俗礼仪等都尽可能地还原了中国传统文化之下的礼仪，还有一些特定的服装，话术也比较符合故事时代背景的设定，没有为博眼球和热点而去任意地改编历史和传统文化。用影视化的效果来向大家展现了中国传统文化的魅力所在，是中国众多古装剧的佼佼者。

婚嫁 《礼记·昏义》记载：“昏礼者，将合二姓之好，上以事宗庙，而以继后世也。故君子重之。”自古以来，中国被世人称为礼仪之邦、文明古国，礼仪文化作为中华传统文化的重要组成部分不可忽略。婚礼作为“礼之本”，其重要性不可替代。所以它当中的礼仪自然也大有学问，《知否》中有很多中国传统婚嫁礼俗。 第一处是“聘雁”，大雁在古代婚礼中象征着贞洁、祥瑞，比喻一生只有一个伴侣。剧中婚嫁时就给了“聘雁”特写镜头，在后来明兰出嫁，读到聘礼环节也出现了大雁，《礼记·昏义》中记载到，古代结婚程序有六礼，分别为“纳采、问名、纳吉、纳征、请期、亲迎”，“纳征”也被称作“纳币”，其中就有送聘雁的说法，这部剧对“聘雁”这个礼俗的凸显也充满细节。 第二处，剧中出现了古代婚嫁礼俗中的“却扇礼”，当盛家女儿出嫁时，会行却扇礼，却扇礼起源于晋代，是古代新娘用来遮羞的扇子，也被称作“团扇”“合欢扇”，寓意团圆美满。明兰双手拿扇柄的姿势也很有雅致略显娇羞，这跟现在新娘拿捧花有异曲同工之妙。(徐吉军,方建新,吕凤棠,方健，2018）

宴饮之礼 宋人宴请宾客之风极盛，成为人际交往中最常见的方式。剧中世家大族女眷们互相设宴邀请的剧情，展现的不仅是雅致奢华的“曲水流觞”席面，还有考究的宴请之礼。 “曲水流觞”是一个非常富有诗意的古代习俗，它主要流行于文人雅士之间。具体来说，“曲水”指的是水流曲折的庭院景致，而“流觞”则是指将酒杯放在水中，让它随着水流漂浮。当酒杯漂到谁的面前，谁就要饮酒并即兴赋诗。宋俗宴请，主人必先寄送请帖，收到者是否能去一般也回札说明。宴会之礼仍按《仪礼》之制，入席至开宴有拜迎、拜至、拜送、拜既等顺序，即迎宾、至阶、酌酒、客谢主人。（叶朗，2014）

点茶 茶在北宋是“不可一日以无”的必需品，茶艺与茶礼也就应运而生。剧中专门对宋代“点茶”法做了讲述，也让这项被遗忘的技艺重回公众视野。 “点茶”是北宋最流行的一种技艺，包括炙茶、碾茶、罗茶、烘盏、候汤、击沸、烹试等一整套程序。中国古代人际交往中讲求“客来敬茶，不分远近”，是友好、热情，以礼相待的象征。《知否》中有多处讲到点茶，比如，孔嬷嬷的礼仪课堂，林噙霜教墨兰，小秦氏也有相关戏份。（文兰,周晓涛，2024）

焚香 宋朝时出现了各种香材研磨混合的方法，称为合香。为了便于点燃，合香粉可用模具压印成固定字形或花样，然后点燃，循序燃尽，这种方式被称为“香篆”。剧中主要采用了两种焚香的方式，一种是香篆，一种是隔火焚香。 宋朝盛极一时的“隔火焚香”，讲究的是“烧香取味，不在取烟，香烟若烈，则香味漫然，顷刻而灭。取味则味幽，香馥可久不散，须用隔火”。“隔火焚香”的大致步骤：（1）准备好木炭，木炭要烧到通红而又没有明火也不冒烟。（2）香炉里要均匀松散地装上香灰，并在香灰中心挖出一个较深的孔洞。（3）先往孔洞里放入烧好的木炭，如果木炭比较旺，要放得深一些，不旺就放得浅一些。（4）放“隔火”，“隔火”用的是云母、金钱、银叶、砂片等薄而硬的东西。（5）在“隔火”上放香丸或香饼。这一流程在剧中孔嬷嬷的课堂上也有详细展示。（张小凡，2019）

投壶 投壶是一款大致在先秦时期起源的传统社交游戏，由射箭衍生而来。流行初期，投壶“仪式感满满”，游戏过程必须有雅乐伴奏，秦汉时期则成了宴请宾客时最常见的娱乐活动之一，此后便“席卷”各个朝代、阶层，成了名副其实的“国民游戏”。 宋代投壶主要在文人中流行，文人们“投壶弈棋，烧烛夜归”。北宋名臣司马光撰写了《投壶新格》，他结合投壶技艺宣扬儒家的中庸之道，强调投壶有助于提升个人修养。他还对投壶的用具和规则做了详细规定，使之更加规范。 比如，在投壶方式上，司马光定了“有初”第一箭入壶者）、“连中”第二箭连中）、“贯耳”（投入壶耳者）、“散箭”（第一箭不入壶，第二箭起投入者）、“全壶”（箭箭都中者）、“有终”（末箭入壶者）、“骁箭”（投入壶中之箭反跃出来，接着又投入中者）等二十种名目。 幼年的明兰第一次强出头，就是为了赢回华兰的聘雁，挽回盛家颜面，但也是这次出头逞强间接导致了明兰童年时期的悲剧。(徐吉军,方建新,吕凤棠,方健，2018）

马球 马球又称为“打毬”或“击鞠”、“击丸”，是骑在马上以球杖击球入门的一种运动。宋代的马球大致相当于成年人的拳头大小，马球的材料有木制和皮制两种。宋太宗在太平兴国年间曾令主管机构制定了击球仪式。从《宋史·礼记》的记载中可了解当时打马球的规则：打球分两队竞赛，每队人数无定额，少则两人，多则数百人；两队所穿服装不同，便于识别；两队待球掷至球场中央开始比赛，单球门赛以球打入球网为胜，双球门赛，将球打入对方球门为胜。 北宋时期，女性马球运动也有了较大发展。宋徽宗时组建了宫廷女子马球队，每到节日时会组织表演让百姓观赏。后来也逐渐形成了宫廷女子马球队每年春天在金明池汇演的定例。一年一度的春日，在位于汴京城新郑门外金明池，进行百戏的龙舟竞渡、争标等表演，其中宫廷女子马球比赛，是最精彩的项目之一。 剧中的两场马球也起到了推进剧情发展的作用，第一次是明兰为了替好友余嫣然赢得母亲遗物，在马球场上初露锋芒。男主和女主则是在第二次马球比赛中，在皇后的见证下确定了关系。(徐吉军,方建新,吕凤棠,方健，2018）

结语 《知否》作为一部优秀的古装剧，不仅还原了历史，注重了细节，还批判了古代封建制度，展现了坚韧的女性形象，给观众带来了多方面的启示。它以正确的历史观和价值观为前提，将剧情与历史文化结合，恰当地处理了历史与艺术之间的关系，成为了传播中国优秀传统文化的重要载体。
