The Binding Masks（缚面）

This is an interrogation of "identity"—The Han people, in the name of Confucian ethics, rigidly defined social roles through the doctrine of "rectifying names" (zhengming), binding each individual to their ordained place to maintain cosmic order. Yet through the dialectic of "Heaven's Mandate" (tianming) and "human agency" (renwei), they simultaneously sought to transcend fate's constraints. The central tension remains: How do we balance the "mask" of social expectation with the "true self" beneath? 这是一场对“身份认同”的追问—在视频中汉代人以伦理之名规范社会角色，通过“正名”使每个人固守自己的社会角色，从而维持秩序。却通过“天命”与“人为”的辩证，试图超越命运的束缚。我们该怎样在寻找“面具”与“真我”的平衡。
