惟有香如故的剧情简介 · · · · · ·

　　我们天生喜欢香，极少喜欢臭。自然规律也显示：香料能使物品保存持久。这其实已经用气味指明了方向，所谓正道，就是千古流芳。于是在古人面前，很多不同类别的名词汇成了一种通感：芬芳、侠骨、馨香、大义、正气、至善、……古人相信，任何选择都会自带气味标签。但吊诡的是，在历史重要节点上那些意见截然相反的人，无不坚称自己都是正气使然。而作为后来人，我们也确实发现，随着深入了解双方，越来越难以评判。香，究竟是客观共识，还是辩证的转化？本片选取与五位古人命运相连的香料，串起他们曾经在那些重要节点上的冲突和选择。

We are born to like fragrance, but seldom like stink. The laws of nature also show that spices can keep things lasting. In fact, it has pointed out the direction with smell. The so-called right way is to be fragrant through the ages. So in front of the ancients, many different kinds of nouns have merged into a synaesthesia: fragrance, chivalry, fragrance, righteousness, righteousness, goodness,... The ancients believed that any choice would carry its own odor label. But paradoxically, at important historical points, those who have diametrically opposite opinions all insist that they are all due to good spirit. As a latecomer, we do find it more and more difficult to judge with the in-depth understanding of both sides. Is incense an objective consensus or a dialectical transformation? This film selects spices that are linked to the fate of five ancient people, linking their conflicts and choices at those important nodes.
