is mostly entertainment. Even if historical drama is based on history, there are fictional parts in them. Besides, no-one can accurately say exactly what was said or done at a point in history, particularly any incident that happened prior to modern recording methods.

电视主要是娱乐。虽然历史剧是基于历史的，但也有他们虚构的部分。此外，没有人能准确地说出在一个历史的节点上究竟说了些什么做了什么发生了什么，特别是在现代化设备发明之前。

I see it, the main storyline and trend must adhere to true history, but some unimportant things can absorb some folklores or fiction. It is just a TV drama and it has its commercial intention. But some screenplays distort the history intentionally just to draw peoples attention and that always make people indignant and some departments should inspect carefully.

在我看来，主要的故事情节和趋势必须坚持真实的历史，但一些不重要的东西可以吸收一些民间传说或虚构。它只是一个电视剧，它有它的商业意图。但有些剧本歪曲历史仅仅只是为了吸引人们的注意力所以让人愤慨应该叫一些部门应该仔细检查了。
对于像步步惊心这样的电视剧。中国监管机构强加给生产这类电视剧的强硬新的条件，因为这些电视剧“缺乏积极的思想和意义”和捏造的故事情节。

Its a drama, not a documentary. Dramas are meant to entertain, not necessarily educated, so I don think they need to be historically accurate.

这是一个电视剧，不是纪录片。电视剧是为了自娱自乐，不一定有教育意义，所以我不认为他们需要尊重历史事实。
从中国的影视剧甄嬛传来看，其中描绘了皇帝的妃嫔之间的权力斗争的传说。努尔哈赤第十一世孙女爱新觉罗·溥杨公开表示，热播的清宫题材连续剧，把后宫描写得一塌糊涂，歪曲了清朝的历史。而1997年热播过的《还珠格格》及《甄嬛传》则成为她主要的炮轰对象。她说老百姓被吸引到这个怪诞变形的东西之中，狂热的粉丝忽视了真正的历史。

depends on what kind of drama it is. If it is based on stories that really happened in the past then it must be based on facts, especially when it concerns some famous people who have made great contribution to history. The drama must tell the truth. If the director just makes up the stories and changes the historical facts then it will mislead the audiences.

这要看是什么样的剧。如果它是基于真正发生在过去的故事，那么它必须以事实为依据，特别是当它涉及到一些为了历史做出巨大贡献的著名人物的时候。该剧必须说实话。如果导演只是弥补了故事去改变的历史事实，那么它会误导观众。

believe there should be a clear bottom line to these historical dramas, as they should not go as far as to insult the intelligence of audiences. Some periods in Chinese history are worth remembering as an important piece of history, not something to be spoofed.

我认为应该有一个明确的底线对于这些历史剧，因为他们不应该扯淡到侮辱观众的智商。中国历史上的一些时代是值得回忆的这是中国历史重要的组成部分，没必要恶搞。

doesn mean that you can add any funny elements into the drama without considering the facts of history. Entertainment must also be educative and meaningful. Otherwise you are just wasting your time watching them.

娱乐并不意味着你可以添加任何有趣的元素入戏而不考虑历史事实。娱乐也必须有教育性和有意义。否则看这些玩意你只是在浪费你的时间。
