Learning Weird Chinese

My Chinese is getting stranger and stranger because I tend to watch historical fiction shows like Nirvana in Fire (琅琊榜) and Empresses in the Palace (后宫 甄嬛传).



The dialogue in these shows are more formal, maybe kind of like if you learned English from watching only Shakespeare plays.

虽然我学到的中文古怪,我还是喜欢看这个内容的因为故事比现代的故事有意思。一般的现代的戏太莫名其妙了,而且我不太懂中国现在社会的情况。还有,还是古代的服装顺眼。

examples:
原来如此
毕竟
皇上息怒!
皇上精明
儿臣领旨
叩见陛下
何尝不是
冤枉

我要把它们记下来。
