The glory of the king’s role setting distorts historical inventory and distorts historical games.
Many teenagers are addicted to the mobile game "the glory of the king", which has not cooled down, and "the glory of the king" has been criticized for distorting history. Some media commented that historical figures that people have known for thousands of years have changed beyond recognition, which makes it easy for children who lack historical knowledge to be confused. Here, history has become a "little girl who can be dressed up at will".
In the face of social doubts, the glory of the king has been updated. However, can the new edition of the glory of the king erase the mark left by distorting history?
□ Our reporter Han Dandong
A comment that "mobile games shouldn’t play history" pushed the mobile phone game "the glory of the king", which is the focus of public opinion, to the forefront again. Recently, the updated version of this mobile phone game, when the player enters the game, a line is marked in the lower right corner of the screen: based on historical figures, the background story is purely fictional. Moreover, there are two kinds of introductions to the historical figures of the game, one is the story made up by the game developers themselves, and the other is the historical introduction.
Before the version of the glory of the king was upgraded, many of its characters were not in line with history, which misled the teenagers who played this game. However, the reporter found that although the game has been updated, the previous misleading seems to be difficult to eliminate.
The influence of "false history" is hard to eliminate.
"Jing Ke is a woman!"
When it comes to Jing Ke, a historical figure, Wang Long (pseudonym), who is in the third grade of primary school in Jizhou District, Tianjin, is so eloquent that he is quick to talk to reporters.
Wang Long’s understanding of Jing Ke is based on the mobile game the glory of the king.
The glory of the king is a real-time war game, in which most of the characters are historical figures, such as Jing Ke, Zhuge Liang and Wu Zetian. While using these historical figures, the game also sets some new positions and identities for these historical figures.
In this game, heroes are divided into six categories: tank, warrior, mage, assassin, shooter and assistant. Different historical figures have different classifications, and the introduction of various heroic characters can be viewed in the game. For example, there is a hero named "Li Bai" in the game. This role is defined as: Li Bai, violet sword fairy, positioning: assassin/warrior, good at: dash/harvest. Not only Li Bai, but also many historical figures have been given a new orientation. Others, such as Zhuge Liang and Bian Que, became magicians, and Yu Ji and Li Yuanfang became shooters.
There are various styles of heroes in the glory of the king, such as Liu Bei’s godfather who uses guns, Liu Chan’s image of driving a robot, Huang Zhong’s shoulder with a cannon, Gao Jianli’s guitar and Kyle Polo’s double guns. One of the most outrageous is to set Jing Ke’s role as a woman. This is why Wang Long, a pupil, insists that "Jing Ke is a woman".
Such a "game" for historical figures in the game has triggered social criticism. Based on this, the edition of the glory of the king was updated.
In the updated "the glory of the king", every hero has a background introduction behind him, in which the story of the character is written, and the name of the character reads: This story is pure fiction. On the left side of the story, it says "View TA in History", which is a true story in history.
The reporter saw that in the game interface, the background story of Bian Que’s game character tells that a young doctor who is passionate about saving the world and devoted to medical research has become a ruthless illegal doctor. "Looking at TA in History" introduces: Bian Que practiced medicine everywhere all his life, saving countless lives, but was finally assassinated by a villain. For Lian Po, the hero, the background story is about Lian Po’s battle in the battlefield, and Zhong Wuyan’s equal opponent turned into a powerful ally. "Looking at TA in History" introduces the story of Lian Po offering a humble apology.
The reporter found that there are always some discrepancies between the background story and the historical introduction.
Jing Ke, which was controversial before, became "A Ke" after the version was updated, but did not "view the historical TA".
According to the reporter’s investigation, although the updated version of the glory of the king has made many changes, many previous characters have been branded in the hearts of many children. Among young players, there are very few people who actually use the function of "viewing TA in history".
Wang Long told reporters that he and his classmates won’t read the history introduction, "because it won’t help to play the game well".
There are many games that distort history.
A survey by the reporter of Legal Daily found that in the online game market, games that distort history at random can be seen everywhere. For example, the game "Qin Yi".
Qin Yi is an action role-playing game set in the late Qin Dynasty. The background time of the game is from the death of Qin Shihuang to the fall of Qin Dynasty. The fixed protagonist of the game is Fu Su, who is a ranger. In the background introduction of the characters in the game, it is written: When Fu Su wanted to commit suicide with a sword, Meng Tian and his trusted generals desperately rescued Fu Su and fled Shangjun. In order to clear his name and investigate the truth, Fu Su resolutely went into the troubled times at the end of Qin Dynasty. The final chapter of the game is that Fu Su broke into Zhao Gao Mansion, looking for Zhao Gao and avenged himself. After defeating Zhao Gao, Fu Su had seven choices to continue his life: to retire to Taoyuan; Seclusion and fuso; Returned to Miao territory; Seclusion beyond the Great Wall; Convert to Mormon; Bring beauty to seclusion; Assist Liu bang. The real history is that after receiving Zhao Gao’s tampered letters, Fu Su committed suicide with his sword.
Q Biography in the Spring and Autumn Period is also an online game that easily causes negative historical cognition to teenagers. The protagonist of the game is a young Confucius, who travels around the world not to lobby for lectures, but to crack the secret of the heirloom Tu Longdao.
Moreover, games about the theme of the Three Kingdoms, such as "Wandering in the Three Kingdoms" and "Biography of the Three Kingdoms", have distorted history to varying degrees. For example, in a game called Anti-reflection, Xiao Qiao will be Zhuge Liang’s dream lover and have an extramarital affair with Zhuge Liang.
In addition to the theme of the Three Kingdoms, some other historical figures and events have also been distorted. In an online game called "The Warring States", there is a task setting that Jing Ke gave his life to assassinate Lv Buwei instead of "Jing Ke stabbed the king of Qin".
In this regard, the staff of Shanghai Youyou Net Software Technology Co., Ltd., which has developed many historical games, said that the content involved in tampering with history in the game is the need of game entertainment.
Many parents have expressed their worries about this game that distorts history.
Ms. Wu, who works in an administrative organ in Jizhou District, Tianjin, said: "These spoof games can be played by adults as a kind of entertainment and pastime, but children’s discrimination ability is still very weak and they are easily misled. Children open their mouths every day ‘ Pesticide, pesticide ’ I really don’t know what kind of memory I will leave for my children. "
Teacher Zhang, who teaches history in a high school in Baodi District, Tianjin, told the reporter that most primary and secondary school students are not yet mature in mind, and the wrong "history" spread in some games can easily affect primary and secondary school students’ study of history and affect them to establish a correct world outlook and values.
"This kind of game that distorts history should be resisted." Teacher Zhang said.
