Yuanqu refers to both zaju (operas) and sanqu, with this book including approximately 50 zaju and 14 sanqu, which consist of both xiaoling (short songs) and quashu (sets of songs). The life wisdom in Yuanqu is diverse and rich, and this book categorizes it into seven types: self-cultivation, social conduct, interpersonal relationships, love, friendship, career, and strategy. Here, you will find not only the detachment from fame and fortune and the calmness in success or failure, but also the positive and optimistic, sound, and practical approach to life. Reading it may help you navigate the complexities of life, resist various temptations, and maintain a positive, optimistic, and serene mindset in the face of setbacks and hardships. Additionally, the dramatic and winding plots, as well as the brilliant lyrics and dialogue excerpts, can also help you understand Yuanqu.
