"Kangxi's Private Visit in Private Server" is a relatively early TV series. It mainly tells about some things that Emperor Kangxi encountered during his private visit in private. There were two people beside him, one was the eunuch San Dezi and the other was the monk Fayin. Sandoku, we can understand that it is normal for a eunuch to appear next to the emperor, but why does this seal appear next to the emperor, and what is his identity?
First of all, one thing we can be sure of is that there is no prototype for the character Fayin in history. He is a fiction. However, based on the social environment at that time, we can analyze whether it is consistent with Kangxi to have a monk around him. In line with the times. In fact, Buddhism has had a great influence on all dynasties, and Kangxi's grandmother and father were both very believers in Buddhism, so it makes sense that he also believed in Buddhism, and it was not uncommon for monks to participate in politics in the Qing Dynasty, so the Dharma Seal The appearance of the characters is also reasonable.
Next let’s try to see what the identity of this seal is. Like Santoku, he got along with the emperor day and night and was able to gain the emperor's trust, which is absolutely extraordinary. If judged purely from the plot, he should be a national teacher-type figure. Although he is a monk, he doesn't seem to be averse to wine and meat, because he can tell what kind of food it is when he smells it. If he has never eaten meat, how can he smell it? In addition, Fayin is also a monk with a high martial arts value, which should also be his capital to accompany the emperor. After all, when going on patrol incognito, some accidents are unpredictable, so he must have a bodyguard by his side.
Of course it’s not surprising that he can do martial arts. The strange thing is that he can wrestle. This skill is generally not common among Han people. It is only popular among ethnic minorities such as Manchus or Mongolians, so if nothing else happens If so, he should be a member of an ethnic minority. Coupled with the emperor's trust in him, he is more likely to be a Manchu. His family status is probably not low, otherwise he would not be able to approach the emperor. To say that he is from a noble family, there is another strange thing, that is, no matter where he goes, he knows the slang of each gang. This is impossible without a long period of experience in the world.
Finally, Monk Fayin is a positive character in this drama. He is very upright and kind-hearted, and he also hates evil, so he should be a Manchu by birth. A very upright monk. But even so, the author still wants to emphasize that Kangxi's patrols are real, but basically every patrol was very large, and there was no situation where he went out alone, let alone the situation where he took monks and concubines out. The above The analysis is also based on the TV series.
