Chinese Warriors in World of Warcraft

Chapter 29 The noble thing is life itself!
Princess Kalia walked over, picked up a few pieces of paper that Jiang Jie had finished writing, and looked at them carefully. The more she looked, the more surprised she became.

What is a classic?

This is classic!
Princess Kalia has read thousands of volumes, and often reads in the Lordaeron library, and has a dedicated court scholar as a teacher. She has read the most classic works, even some works from the kingdom of high elves.

One thing is obvious:

The works of the kingdom of high elves are indeed better than those written by anthropologists. After all, people have a lifespan of hundreds of thousands, or even thousands of years. The written work is of course better.

But now, after seeing "Hamlet", she finally understands that time is not the only factor that can create classics. Humans can also create handed down works that are comparable to or even surpassed by high elves. "Hamlet" is such a work.

What surprised Princess Kalia even more was that what "Hamlet" described turned out to be a completely different world. There was no Lordaeron, no Stormwind City, and no elves or orcs. The customs and cultures in it were completely different. A world that only exists in fantasy!
At this moment, she understood that this was definitely not written by Jiang Jie, and a 15-year-old boy would definitely not be able to write it.Even if he is a monster, he can't write it!
"Why do you pretend to be the heroic figure of your buried majesty, and wear the battle robe of the former king to appear here?"

"Why do our citizens have to be so vigilant every night? Why does our country have to cast bronze cannons every day and buy armaments from abroad? Why are shipbuilders forced to work all day without vacation?"

"Keep quiet about the matters of your heart, don't act rashly in hasty thoughts, be friendly and avoid frivolity, make friends in need deeply, and stay away from wine and meat."

Princess Kalia recited softly, cadenced, fully invested in emotion.

Because it is really well written, every sentence is classic, every sentence can stand scrutiny and stand the test of time.

She fully believed that this dramatic work called "Hamlet" would definitely shine in Lordaeron and even the entire human world. Even in the northern kingdom of high elves, they couldn't come up with a work that could surpass "Hamlet". It will be handed down forever, enduring!
"Perfect!" Princess Kalia exclaimed.

Don Quixote originally sneered, because he always felt that a 15-year-old boy could write something?He even suspected, or was sure, that "Tide of Darkness" was not written by this young man named Nicholas at all. He probably saw it written by some unknown scholar, and he just copied it.

Because he noticed that after the title of "Tide of Darkness", there is a line of words:

By Aaron Rosenberg.

Apparently, it was written by someone named "Aaron Rosenberg," although both Princess Kalia and the maid agreed that it was just Nicholas' pseudonym.

When he heard the little maid's praise, he didn't take it seriously. He felt that the little maid had little knowledge and couldn't judge what was a really good work.

But when Princess Kalia also expressed her admiration, he couldn't sit still.

Because he knew that Princess Kalia had read many books and had her own understanding of many classic works.How good is the work that can make her admire?

Moreover, with the respect of a princess, it is impossible to cheer for a young man.That is, is it really that good?

While Don Quixote was still hesitating, he heard Princess Kalia chanting softly.

boom!
Hearing those classic lines, he was going crazy!

My God, there are really such straight-to-heart words in the world?Who wrote this?How can it be!

He couldn't hold back anymore, he rushed over, picked up the part that Princess Kalia had finished reading, and read it carefully.

The more you read, the more surprised you become, and the more you read, the more you are amazed.

"This is really... a classic! This is the real classic!" Don Quixote exclaimed: "I must interpret it, and I want to find the best actors! I want to spread "Hamlet" throughout the whole world." world!"

Only a third of the first act was written, and Jiang Jie stopped writing.

Because he was too tired, his hands hurt, and his eyes were a little dry, he needed a good rest.

Moreover, it was already lunch time, and his stomach started to growl.

"Why did you stop? Write quickly! Write quickly!" Don Quixote urged repeatedly.

Jiang Jie looked at him, shook his head slightly and said, "This is the real classic!"

Don Quixote hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes! This is the real classic! This is the most perfect drama! It is the tallest and brightest pearl in the art palace!"

"You're wrong!" Jiang Jie said coldly, "Don Quixote, do you know what art is?"

What is art?
Don Quixote was taken aback, because no one had ever asked this question, and few people thought about it.

What is art?
drama?

opera?

A bard show?
Clown's show off?
Or entertainment for nobles?

No one has ever given an accurate definition of art.It seems that the world does not need an accurate definition.

"Art is the unity of image grasping and rational grasping, the unity of emotional experience and logical cognition, and the unity of aesthetic activities and ideology!"

Jiang Jie said indifferently: "Art comes from life and is higher than life. Art is rooted in life and returns to life! Drama is indeed an elegant art, but how many people can perform it perfectly? How many people can see it? ? I think, even the nobles of Lordaeron can’t see it every day, right? Once a week? Or once a month?”

Don Quixote argued: "Of course it is impossible! How can anyone be able to see such a noble thing as art..."

"No! Art is not noble, what is noble is life itself!"

Jiang Jie shook his head and said: "Of course art must go out of the palace and return to life. And storytelling is a performing art that can be heard every day, everyone can hear it, and everyone can even try it. Now, I will give it to you. You put on a show."

Jiang Jie chuckled, and asked Zhinao Xiaolun to play the part of "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" by Teacher Shan Tianfang, where Li Yuanba hammered the town of Siping Mountain.

Jiang Jie's language ability is naturally very average, but following Teacher Shan Tianfang's instructions, he learns each character one by one, with a style and charm.

"This, this... This is a form of performance that has never been seen before!" Don Quixote was stunned, never thinking that there are such games in this world.

Storytelling sounds really interesting. The cadence of the voice, the changes in expression and tone are really easy to attract the audience.And it doesn't require too much literacy, ordinary people can understand it, and it's easy to mobilize the audience's emotions, it's really... very interesting!
