China’s TV plays have a great influence on contemporary social life, which has already gone beyond appearances and infiltrated people’s spirit. Among them, historical TV plays play an irreplaceable role in activating excellent traditional cultural genes and inspiring people’s feelings of home and country and cultural pride.

　　Looking back at history, water stirs the sound of stone. "The charm of history itself, the power of culture, the power of wisdom and the power of value will win in the market competition." Li Jingsheng, vice chairman of China Television Artists Association, said that when a powerful new era full of hope and opportunities comes, China TV dramas will not only bring pleasure and recreation to ordinary people, but also show a more wonderful image of China with more substantial spiritual and cultural connotations.

In the following years, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen and Yang Jiajiang focused on local history and classical masterpieces, and the hero’s loyalty, courage and righteousness leapt to the screen. The Journey to the West in 1986 and A Dream of Red Mansions in 1987 achieved unprecedented success.

In 1998, "The Water Margin" created a hundred single and eight generals in a simple and restrained way, and the expressions of cherishing words like gold in China’s classical literature can be found everywhere. Such meticulousness stems from the awe of classics and the love of tradition. In the middle and late 1990s, the framework of "telling the truth about history" began to loosen in the hands of creators. From Wu Zetian to Yongzheng Dynasty, Kangxi Dynasty and Hanwu Emperor, China’s historical TV dramas moved forward in the context of "truth" and "drama", but in the final analysis, they all drew energy from the story of China, a native of China, and most of the characters of all colors shouldered the mission of carrying culture and conveying the national spirit.

Shooting the demon road and fighting the Monkey King, the crew went to the wild and chose a large open space, and invited several divers and a big trampoline. The athlete performed a backflip on the trampoline, and the cameraman patted it on his back. This kind of careful polishing, even in Yang Jie’s mouth, has made indelible childhood memories from generation to generation.

　　When he arrived in Zhang Jizhong to shoot "The Water Margin", he went to Shandong to go through all the places he could find in the original work, and finally restored the grandeur of fenglei Kyushu; The 94th edition of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is meticulous in roles and etiquette, and reflects on the rise and fall of history in the struggle for political power.

Among them, some historical dramas lost their judgment on historical value and fell into entertainment. However, with China’s comprehensive deepening of reform and increasing international influence, after the trend of "lowercase" to history, a new grand narrative reflecting the expectation of national rejuvenation comes to the fore.

　　From Zhao’s Orphan Case, Feng Zicai, Bailuyuan to 1566 of the Ming Dynasty, and then to Yu Chenglong, the fertile land in the world, the rise of the Great Qin Empire and the alliance of military advisers of Sima Yi, in recent years, historical dramas that combine feelings of home and country with national culture have ushered in a resurgence that is worth looking forward to.
