Why do Chinese get to make period pieces which are light-hearted, with bright and colorful costumes and not necessarily focused on 'being' a period piece, probably with some gimmick, like being a Medieval Psychologist or a Coroner, solving crimes amid courtly intrigue?
Like, you know what I mean? Nowadays the only medieval series allowed are GoT-alikes, you just can't have a light-hearted, colorful show about a girl solving crimes under Queen Elisabeth's court.

You can't portray the past was good. The medieval age is shown as miserable because you need to like being alive in the multicultural age.
Meanwhile, China is proud of their history, their emperors.

They do, they're just generally marketed to kids. Jim Henson's stuff, the Hallmark channel miniseries like Merlin/Odysseus/Gulliver's Travels though they're mainly played straight.
The thing is though that US doesn't have a history longer than the 250 years and they control the budgets so their versions old of it would be something like Night at the Museum. They sometimes do things like A Knight's Tale though or 300 or Meet the Spartans.

If you move on to UK there are more. Black Adder, and medieval mystery solving like Cadfael. And I haven't seen it but stuff like Catherine Called Birdy.

But yea you severely underestimate the degree to which Hollywood is predominantly a Jewish industry. That means they have no obligation to tell other people's stories but their own. Period pieces are just biblical stories to them or maybe Spartacus/Ben Hur type stuff.

The limits to their light-hearted period stuff would be modern fantasies like Ella Enchanted or modern fairytales like Back to the Future etc, because their history just doesn't go back that far.

China isn't run by the jews, that's why.
Being run by the chinese is almost as bad because they're the jews of east asia, but at least it is *their* country (kinda)
>>
Also some more American stuff with occasional period piece kino:
Star Trek TNG
The Orville

Why did they hire one actor to play all the roles ?

The twinkish young male is the favored character of Chinese young women, aka the target audience.
There are thousands of 'edit' featuring Lu Bangchong or whatever each guy is called
