Are there any detective costume dramas?

There are quite a few of these. Now very popular Detective Renjie and The Longest Day in Chang 'an are also detective novels, which are very nice. In addition, there is a play called The Legend of Solving Crimes by Di Renjie. The Legend of the Trial of Di Renjie is not only meticulous in reasoning, but also exquisite in setting, which is different from the exaggeration and dazzling in costume dramas. The costumes, scenery and props of this drama are similar to those of "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" of CCTV, and the texture is very simple. Audience friends who are tired of watching Abao colors, heavy makeup and all kinds of dazzling costumes and headdresses may wish to review this antique TV series with us. Many cases in it have left a "childhood shadow" for many people.

The Legend of De Renjie's Solving the Case is adapted from the work of Gao Luopei, a Dutchman. The author Gao Luopei is a Dutch diplomat and a senior sinologist. This novel describes more than 20 strange cases solved by Di, a famous minister in the Tang Dynasty, when he was an official in the local area.

The TV series is quite faithful to the original, and the suspense setting, plot preparation, dialogue and other aspects all refer to the "western detective mystery novel mode" in the book, such as the murder in the secret room of the Red Pavilion and the living pretending to be the dead in Ziguang Temple. At the same time, there are many images of ancient elements in China in TV series, such as poisoning an antique hip flask with an organ in the case of Imperial Pearl, and hiding the dead under a big clock in the case of Bronze Bell.

Although the technology in the 1980s and 1990s was not developed enough, there were no fancy special effects, and there were no gorgeous costumes and props, the TV dramas at that time were indeed meticulous, and the actors' acting skills were also improving. No matter from the lens, scene, plot dialogue, music songs and other aspects, The Legend of Di Renjie is a masterpiece that can stand repeated scrutiny.
