How Story of Yanxi Palace Got Censored

In this video, I will reveal what plot points got censored in Story of Yanxi Palace, as well as why the palace harem drama got eventually banned from airing in China.

[@jahnnacuevas6692]

We should had 90-94 episodes???? WE WERE ROBBED OMG 😭😭

[@FranchescaVillar-ch1lq]

Omg.. true

[@roxzqn]

if everyone could think that not everything in the drama is true, we could have more creative* scenes

[@y-mefarm4249]

What a damn shame so much was cut. I guess I know why I was a bit confused on some storylines. The storyline of the dowager getting struck by lightning came off as super corney to me, like God helped Yinglou. Sewing metal threads into the curtains to attract the lightning..now that's acceptable. If they re-released this show internationally, uncut, it would bring in big money. I would totally watch it again!

[@jennifergarnatz6860]

Me too. In fact, I occasionally watch the clips. Great listening practice as I am learning Mandarin

[@y-mefarm4249]

@jennifergarnatz6860 Very difficult language to learn. I have been watching C dramas for about 4 years now. I can pick out different words but nowhere near able to speak it. Now, if I were a child, I would be speaking it fluently. Lol watched my very young daughter learn Japanese by watching anime.. Amazing how fast children learn. Best wishes 🙂

[@jennifergarnatz6860]

@@y-mefarm4249 Agree with you. Kids learn faster. However, u should never stop learning it. Great exercise for the brain. Better than doing crossword puzzles. I plan to continue learning it for the rest of my life. I can already write the script with a pen very well. Practise with the brush occssionally. Hv an inkstone and 3 different type of brushes. Concentrated on the calligraphy since I know it would take years to speak it fluently, and only if I had a private tutor. Mastering the calligraphy, I can always write a question when in China and show someone rather than mispronouncing the tones. I always feel proud of myself whenever I can understand short sentences. I often replay certain scenes to give my ear training. It's a very fascinating language. Had actually started learning Japanese then switched to Mandarin after I learnt Hiragana & Katakana scripts then had to learn Kanji. So, I thought better to first learn Mandarin since it's compulsory to learn Hanzi in order to master writing Japanese.

I absolutely loved The Story of Yangzi Palace with Wei Yinglou. She was such a smart character, loved the empress she served. She fell in love but the emperor refused to let him marry her, instead he had Er Qing marry him as a way of letting Yinglou stop being punished. Yinglou eventually fell in love with the emperor and had children with him but she would always love her soldier (empresses’ brother) . The plots of some of these concubines were so scary and deadly. Very long series but I guess them cutting out some scenes made sense. We all knew that Er Qing’s son wasn’t her husband’s.

Thank you for the info, now the story makes so much more sense! The lightning this always seemed to me such an over-the-top plot device, with the deleted scene it is very logical. I think that the question about Fuca`s kid is kind of resolved in the spin-off of the series, The Princess Adventures.

I loved Yanzi Palace! It could have been quite a bit longer and I would still have watched it.

[@krisnew9676]

It would be interesting to do one regarding "Ruyi's Royal Love In The Palace" which, in my opinion, was a far better series. But I have read that while Ruyi's Royal Love spent huge amounts on money for the Principle actors as well as set/costume designs Yanxi Palace was actually seen as more Historical in terms of the same. These two shows were produced close to one another so I wonder why the Chinese Government did not apply the same treatment or perhaps it did?

[@blenderpain8249]

To be honest, neither are absolutely historically accurate in terms of costume design in terms of the right time period. Qianlong's court did not have the elaborate hair pieces shown in either shows, with Ruyi zhuan's hairstyle showing more of a late qing dynasty feel and Yanxi's showing a hairstyle 100 years after Qianlong's time. Both shows have different accuracies and inaccuracies in terms of costume design, with Ruyi's more accurate to the manchu style of clothing while yanxi's having more accurate in terms of hair style. The most accurate hairstyle to the time period within Yanxi is the Weiyingluo's hair when she was a guiren. The dapantou is the hair style of the consorts back then but it is not as exciting as the bigger hair pieces. Yanxi's costume however, is more han-styled compared to Ruyi zhuan's more accurate manchu style.

[@never4ever386]

Ruyi was originally over 100 episodes so it got cut too

[@cfrygirl]

I loved Ruyi’s but it’s not one I can rewatch much. It’s gets so sad at the end. I realize in the real story it was sad but it’s hard to watch more than a few times

[@sakinagai3810]

Ruyi was the one that was first removed from airing due to its significant deviation from historical accuracy, particularly in its negative and purely fictional portrayal of well-liked historical figures such as Empress Xiaoxian, Consort Ling, Fuheng, and General Zhaohui. Additionally, it featured numerous graphic and violent scenes, especially those depicting the torture of women. After Ruyi was taken down, Yanxi was also taken off the air as it bore facial similarities to Ruyi. However, while these shows themselves were removed from official platforms, they haven't been entirely ”censored” as plenty (I really mean PLENTY) of derivative works, critiques, video essays, songs, fan fictions, and raw footage are still widely accessible on Chinese internet platforms.

[@cfrygirl]

The clips on KZbin were awesome and they got me interested in the Qing Dynasty however they were not in an order that I could get the story line. The historical value and the detail of the production and excellent acting totally amazing.

Those episode are too stressful to watch.

One of the best. The details were incredible, the display of art and decor, of poems and wealth...it was wonderful. I was saddened by its censorship. I love its daring touches of palace intrigue, esp. the censored parts you mentioned. Palace dramas was a fun way to see different takes on historical figures; I never take any of the dramas as truth. The Chinese government does not seem to think the Chinese people couldn't differentiate historical drama from historical facts.

[@charcolatier]

​​@@never4ever386 you should take a look at some of the points cnetz raised about ruyi. The FL changing the script so much that it became illogical at some parts, the constant pouting of lips (she only did this in this show and not her other shows for some reason), ruyi's personality being "as calm(?) as chrysanthemum" affecting how she plays out her emotions in the show (being so indifferent when she lost her parents and kids, but then bawled when ling yun che got castrated or died LOL). OH OH and the funniest one is how she insisted on wearing her nail guards in every scene because she wants to be “体面”, even in the one where shes in the cold palace 💀💀💀 have you seen how she tried to hang the laundry with her nail guards on? That was hilarious 😂 speaking about the cold palace, Li Yu had encouraged her to bring money but she didnt and guess what? She had to use money lol 💀 and even after learning about how money is important to people who do not have power, she decided to dock her servants' salaries for her child's blessings LIKE HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORKKK shouldn't she be the one who's forking out the money?? Her servants need money for their fams, which includes tian lao lao who then decided to help wei yan wan exactly because of this. The supporting actresses tho!! Jin yu yan looked so genuinely heartbroken when her maid was punished but then ruyi let suo xin serve her when her hands were hurt 💀 P.S. havent seen anyone talk about this but it's so ironic that the emperor said that he disliked wei yan wan but still promoted her and let her serve him

We actually do see how Noble Consort Chun died. We don’t get the scene, but we are shown a bloody kite string and (I forgot who) someone reporting that she died from strangling. It’s the reason why Yinglou still created kites even after knowing Chun was strangled with a kite string as stopping in the creation of kites would place more blame on herself and to others meant she feels guilty.

Although, at times, the gratuitos evilness of many of The Story of Yanxi Palce's cherictors are hard to watch, 😮 it is regrettable that some episodes were sensored. ❤This drama❤ 🎉 is so well written, acted, & produced 🎉 that it can be termed an understudy to different types of evil that are a part of the human condition. Although the extreme sides of most of the focal points about the human condition are brought to life, they are food for thought. The indepth knowledge of the subject by the written & the ultra artistic abilities of the production team gives one an eye opening awareness of evil, of the survival skills of those under duress, of the value of peacefulness, & of the resilience of most humans who suffer trials & tribulations. Hopefully, one day, if the sensored episodes still exist, they will be released for public viewing.

[@lindaliang3825]

I watch both Ruyi's Royal Love and the Story of YanXi Palace. I find that the character Consort Ling varies very much in how she looks. In Ruyi's Royal Love she is portrayed as a beautiful seductress, yet she is a scheming, cold-hearted woman. Her lover, Lord Ling, was a stepping stone even though she gave her heart to him. In the Story of YanXi Palace, Wei Ying Luo is portrayed as a naive and outspoken young girl who enters the palace playing pranks on the harem and the Emperor. She is not equal to his first Empress in terms of beauty. Also, her close romantic relationship with the Empresses brother from Fuca is not similar to the relationship of Lord Ling and concubine Ling. The two movies have two different perspectives of this particular female character. According to history, the Emperor QianLong sired six (6) children with concubine Ling, who became his third Empress posthumously.

[@madsam0320]

A lot of the reasons for being cut are actually quite understandable. Some of the drama series can be spoilt by lengthy boring fillers and subplots. The political correctness is pandering to the sensitive discrimination subjects. Mega budgets, lavish costumes and grand backgrounds are extravagants, but audiences love it, they are the main attractions. Violent deaths might be distressing for guardians of young children. Basing on historical events, with enormous helpings of artistic license makes the story more interesting, but might upset members of the certain clans. Many of the subplots were patched with gross over off the scene conversations, and violent scenes replaced with shadows and thunderclaps.. But it’s good to let us know the cuts and the reasons behind them. Still, I wish they would release the uncut version.

Btw, is "Ryui royal love in the palace" about the same time period?

[@tianna4411]

Yes

[@tinaspice]

Yes, same emperor/empress/concubines. Difference is how Ruyi/Consort Xian is portrayed as heroine instead of Yingluo.

Palast Yanxi has in my country on Netflix only 6 ep., if you mean the same drama. If it is, then it explains the gaps in the story cause the cuts are not really logical. 🤔

[@cloversformrdarcy]

hi :) Yanxi Palace: Princess Adventures is the spin-off to Story of Yanxi Palace. They're not the same show. You can watch Story of Yanxi Palace on Viki or here on YT with subtitles :).

[@Nemi-pp2zs]

@@cloversformrdarcy okay, thx. The spin of makes not much sense without the whole story. Then I will watch it 🙂

[@cloversformrdarcy]

@@Nemi-pp2zs yes, the parent story gives a whole lot more context on everything. the spin off is cute, but the og is on another level! :)

@@cloversformrdarcy The whole 70 episodes are also available on Prime. Well worth the watch.

[@cloversformrdarcy]
