Features: The development of Tang poetry and Song Ci into the Yuan Dynasty gradually gave way to a new literary form—qu, or Yuanqu. Qu had its own glorious era, and it has long been said that "Tang poetry, Song Ci, and Yuan Qu" were of equal standing, indicating that Yuan Qu could rival Tang poetry and Song Ci. The Yuan Dynasty and the subsequent Ming and Qing Dynasties produced many excellent qu and dramatic works, all of which together constitute the unique charm of Chinese opera. This book selects famous lines from Chinese opera of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties for annotation and appreciation, including the essence of Chinese opera.
