Winter has come. In the final episode of Game of Thrones season six, the White Crow of the Citadel brings news of climate change. The words "winter is coming" that Nai Stark uttered six years ago finally came true, Jon Snow looked at the sky and the snow, with the same bitter smile as his father (actually his uncle), the boy was tall. It's really following my uncle.

In fact, this is not the first time such bad news has come from Xuecheng. Back in the first season, it was already long summer, and the tail of this summer is still really long, and it dragged on for another 6 years.

Over the years, the headlines on the front page of the "Westeros Daily" have always been like this: "This year is a year of climate change in Westeros, and the temperature will form an L-shaped trend", "The temperature index breaks 7, and the people of the seven countries face the most severe situation." "The Test of Winter"...

If it doesn't snow again, "Winter is coming" may be as numb as "The Wolf is Coming", and the audience can't help but complain like a little devil: "So you are going to take me to see you. Savior, say it earlier, who doesn't want to see the Savior?" The

legendary Savior is the reincarnation of the ancient fighter Azor Ahai. It is said that he has a burning sword called Bitcoin, which can break the curse of inflation. , saving mankind from the cycle of economic crisis, and the true identity of this reincarnated soul boy is as mysterious as Satoshi Nakamoto.

So, since the finale is not far away, let’s summarize the main theme of the whole article. The author, Grandpa Martin, has already underlined the main theme sentence: Valar morghulis, valar dohaeris – mortals are mortal, and all mortals need to serve.

However, another sentence he inadvertently wrote became popular unexpectedly: "You know nothing, Jon Snow."

This sentence very vividly shows everyone's confused state when watching the show. Everyone knows this saying, but no one really understands it. The ultimate meaning of "Game of Thrones" is hidden in this sentence.

Although there is the blessing of the protagonist's halo, Jon Snow really doesn't know anything - about the mystery of his life experience, the last episode of this season finally revealed a corner, but this is not exciting, because the answer to this mystery , in addition to Jon himself "knowing nothing", witty audiences and readers have long guessed.

The author also knows that everyone knows it, but he still has to write it out without any suspense, and his heart is a little bitter.

The best way to cover up truth A is to make up a botched lie B, make people doubt it, and deduce what they think is "truth" C, so that no one will ever find out about A.

About lying, Francis in "House of Cards" has an experiential talk, to the same effect as above. In fact, fiction is also a type of lie—the more blatant kind.

In this story, the botched lie B is Ned's claim (that Jon is his illegitimate son), a lie full of loopholes and self-contradictory. Ned was not good at lying, much less disdain to lie, so he kept his mouth shut about many details. The key to the truth lies in the details. For people who are born honest, avoiding too many details and fabrications can be regarded as an insurance measure from being exposed.

The C inferred by readers and viewers is: 囧 is the illegitimate son of Prince Rhaegar and Lyanna. It would be a real surprise if in the end, the author throws out truth A which is not so. Of course, the previous foreshadowing will make it difficult to justify such a divine turn.

Let's go back to the main sentence. The person who said this was Ygritte, Jon's girlfriend at the time. She was a savage, a free man, and a great proletarian female warrior.

She's not pretty, but she conquers Jon with her beauty of heart (or whatever). Because the two belonged to different camps, Jon still left her tribe and returned to the alliance to which she belonged, ah no, in the Night's Watch Legion. In the end, when the two armies were fighting, Ygritte was shot to death by the bear boy beside him.

"You don't know anything," followed the original sentence: "I belong to you, and you belong to me." It is probably what all girls in love want to say to the person they like.

But goose, let's not be fooled by word games, "You know Nothing" should not be translated as "you know nothing," but should be "you know nothing", 囧 does not know nothing, but may know too much too much.

Why should Jon be blamed by his girlfriend when he finds out about this Nothing?

On the opposite side of the narrow sea, there is a group of face-changing art performers from Sichuan, China, who call themselves the Faceless and serve the Stranger, the god of death.

Every little girl has a period of uncle control, Erya Stark is no exception. When she was at the lowest point in her life, she met the face-changing master and super handsome pot Jakun Hegar. The big brother gave her three golden needles, ah no, he promised to kill three people for her, (be careful if you want to learn to flirt with girls, three is a good number, once you are born twice, you can be hooked on the third time) and then He spent a dollar to deceive the little girl to Changliu Mountain in Braavos, accept her as a disciple, perform SM dramas all day, and finally kill her.

Before recognizing Jia Kun's true face (although he doesn't have any real face), Erya was still blinded by his mind-blowing flickering, and determined to become a faceless person, that is, no one.

No one=Nothing, Erya is actually Snow's true love. Jon was obsessed with his first love, so of course Ygritte wasn't happy.

Some people think that Jon Snow will finally get together with the Dragon Mother, because the name of the novel is "A Song of Ice and Fire", which is completely messed up CP. Snow is snow, not ice, not yet frozen. If you have to match ice and fire, the official match of the Dragon Mother should be the King of the White Walkers.

What kind of fate, I would say that it is the marriage of the two embarrassed.

Look at the description of this (cousin) brother and sister in the original book, they have the same long face of the Stark family, the same dull hair color and eyes, as well as all kinds of stroking hair, blushing kisses Interactions like this can't be more boring, no matter how you look at it, they are all driven by soulmates.

At the beginning of the story, Erma goes to King's Landing in the south, and Snow goes north to the Great Wall. On the occasion of parting, brother 囧 gave the little sister a sword. This implication is too obvious, you don't need Freud to explain it, you understand it?

It's just that the name of this token of love is not very good - sewing needles...

Well, this is the end of the Qiong Yao paragraph. What is Nothing, and what kind of ultimate meaning is hidden?

This involves one of the most profound philosophical questions. What is the origin of the world?

The major sects in the world of ice and fire have all given their own answers. The Cold God believes that the origin of the world is ice, and the Drowned God believes that it is water. The two schools of thought are from Thales. Vulcan liked Heraclitus' assertion that "the world is an eternal living fire". The seven gods come from the Pythagorean school, which believes that the number 7 is the origin of the world. The Stranger respects what Anaximander calls the "Infinite". Its followers have no identity, no name, or even a definite face and fingerprints. How they check in at work is a difficult problem to solve. Reality.

So, which of the above viewpoints is the truth, and which God is the true God?

Note that this is a scoring question.

Up to now, although the God of Fire and God of Cold have both exerted great powers, the author has long since made it clear that all mortals are mortal. Fire can melt ice, water can put out fire, and the last laugh is the Stranger Death.

Therefore, the ultimate meaning of the whole play lies in the Faceless.

In addition to Jia Kun, there is also a faceless person with a higher rank in the whole play, who is a person who has really changed his face.

He is the lover of the Dragon Mother, the second son Dario Naharis.

Daario first served with Yunkai'i's Second Sons. As the name suggests, this organization mainly accepts second sons who have no right of inheritance. But Dario is not even a second son. His mother is a prostitute, and his father may be any of the five ethnic groups of Han, Manchu, Hui, Mongolian and Tibetan. Dario was sold to a slave trader by his own mother when he was a child, and later became famous in gladiatorial fighting and was able to redeem himself and join the Second Sons.

In the third season, Daario made his first appearance, and he looked like this, with four big characters written on his angular face: dry wood and fire.



By season four, his face was a younger version of George Clooney. Although it is also very handsome, it lacks a hint of arrogance and evil charm.



(Well, it's actually a different actor.)

Why is Dario a faceless person? In addition to changing his face, he also meets the same characteristics as Jia Kun:

one, handsome. Nonsense, they can perform zero-cost and risk-free cosmetic surgery anytime, anywhere; two, their voices are soft but firm, probably due to the need to change their voice; three, they are talkative and like to do philosophical thinking.

When asked by the Dragon Mother why he killed his companion, Daario replied: "We have some philosophical disagreements." "Disagreements about what?" It's more important to say."

His partner said "we start a business to make a lot of money", but Dalio said he was to create a better world.
Everyone is rude, and if you like to drag and drop, this kind of person will be somewhat out of place in the team. To put it bluntly, Daario is a Samwell with a relatively low body fat rate.

He also contributed so many autographs in his short-lived appearance at the end of the third season:

"You have serious skepticism, and in my experience, only unfaithful people think that."

"I like prostitutes, just Don't like paying them."

"I'm not interested in female slaves, men can't have sex with property."

"I'm the simplest person in the world, I only do what I want." And

the famous quote: " The gods gave man two gift to entertain ourselves before we die, the thrill of fucking a woman who wants to be fucked, and the thrill of killing a man who wants to kill you.”
—A Song of Kill and Fuck .

If the little devil is the little prince of jokers, and Mrs. Olenna is the queen of poisonous tongues, then Dario is the emperor of the golden sentence.

The difference is that there is no cynical connotation in his complaints, but an arrogance that penetrates the screen.

"I'm Daario Naharis, and I always have a choice." - Until Season 6, Episode 10.
