Are chinese historical dramas appropriate for learning Mandarin? Is the language used in Chinese historical dramas usually antiquated/extra formal, and does that make them a bad (or maybe just too advanced) resource for practicing one's Mandarin? (I've just closed off HSK3, for reference.) There are a number of dramas I'd like to watch (mainly &quot;The Untamed / 陈情令&quot; and &quot;Oh My General / 将军在上&quot;), but I'm wondering if they'll get me used to out-dated language and cause me to sound like I'm 500 years old :^)
You can just learn the pronunciation in historical drama.
There are no doubt that the language you learn from historical drama must be out-dated language.Such as “盘缠” means money, but we all use “钱” now.
If you want learn language from TV play, i think you can watch urban drama instead of historical dram.
