Watching Legend of Miyue
Legend of Miyue was remaked based on a popular online novel, it narrates a story of Miyue’s life entwined with politics, war, and romantic love.
"I need to demonstrate to the actors and actresses how to kneel that I have frazzled three of my trousers," said Li Bin, etiquette director of the Legend of Miyue.
According to Li, the actors of The Legend of Miyue received special training on Chinese ancient etiquette before shooting. And for himself, he had been closely following the casting people, being on site with the team full-time while filming.
His careful attitude towards Chinese etiquette and its delicate presentation has paid off, as the TV series hit a historical high 1.97 percent rating within ten hours in late November, breaking online viewing records.
"Compared with many other costume dramas, the etiquette and costume in this drama is more solemn and normal. It greatly aroused my interest in history," said Sina micro-blog user Jinyumantang_297.
While talking with Beijing Times, Li said he pay great effort to filming the wedding scene between Mi Shu and Emperor Qin. "wearing an bright red dress, eating a slice of meat from a porket, drinking water from the same calabash nuptial cup and eating rice from the same bowl with hands are same with what's recorded in history about royal weddings of the Warring States Time (475-221 BC)," Li said. "The first three practices are to show that the emperor and the empress will love each other dearly, to share with each other on an equal stance and are inseparably united as one. Eating rice is the emperor's pray for a continuous golden harvest in the upcoming year."
As the follower of Zhang Xiaolong, the etiquette instructor of another court play (The Legend of Zhenhuan), Li is no less professional in being precise with the ABCs of ancient Chinese etiquette as his master has taught him at Beijing Central Academy of Drama in Beijing.
"We didn't use the red silk cloth to cover the bride's face because we believed that it was not written in record in traditional Chinese wedding until the Wei Dynasty (AD 220-280)," Li said.
"But we did attempt to make the etiquette more visually appealing - the books didn't describe how women walk while making a bow with hands folded in front, so I used the idea from the move in one of Zhang's choreographed dance for reference. The supplement enriched wedding ceremony with more details."
