Details
- Name: 铁齿铜牙纪晓岚 / Tie Chi Tong Ya Ji Xiao Lan
- Also known as: The Bronze Teeth, Eloquent Ji Xiao Lan
- Setting: Qing Dynasty, ancient China
Season 1
- Broadcast Period: 2000
Synopsis
Based on a real person in history, Ji Xiao Lan tells the story of a briliant scholar in the Qing Dynasty, a high official under Emperor Qian Long (Zhang Tie Lin, the same emperor as the one in Huan Zhu Ge Ge). Ji Xiao Lan (Zhang Guo Li), the righteous scholar, is basically the foil of the 'evil', greedy official He Shen (Wang Gang.) The plot of the series revolves around the issues that the Qing Dynasty's China deals with, and makes some thinly-veiled points about today's modern governments (or actually any governments ever) and the corruption that sprouts.
In general terms, Ji Xiao Lan stands up for the people's rights, and He Shen supports corruption, for lack of better ways to classify these two characters. In actuality, they represent a whole spectrum of humanity, and are neither all good or all bad. There's a lot of humor in this series, playing with words, plotting, deception and fighting when the Emperor goes into the country incognito. There're several different stories/issues told, though they're all connected loosely overall, rather than separate.
