Abstract

Romance drama, one of the most important types of Yuan opera, which describes the love of literators and prostitutes, has distinctive meanings and art value. Especially on the point of aesthetic tropism, figures of prostitutes and structure of plots, this kind of plays shows these characteristics—the aesthetic interests of being refined in vulgarism, female images that differ from the preceding dynasties and the close combination between structures and plots.
