The image of Zhuo Wenjun in existing Ming and Qing dynasty operas has a unique presentation.Her physical appearance is influenced by the aesthetic of bound feet,and her moralities highlight the chastity,filial piety,and virtue of a feudal lady.In addition,she was often accompanied by the role of a clever maid.Under the custom of foot-binding,Zhuo's bound feet are associated with moral expectations and regulations for women.The textual disjunction between her altered image and the inherent plot gives rise to complementary personalities.The reshaping of Zhuo's image in operas reflects the projection of social culture and the acceptance interests under cultural influence.It also leverages the developmental needs and artistic characteristics of the genre itself.The evolution of Zhuo's image and her story with Sima Xiangru is the result of the combined effects of culture and literature.This narrative phenomenon strips the character's story of its objective historical authenticity,yet endows it with the vitality of a literary creation,ultimately granting it the potential for continuous development across broader temporal and spatial dimensions.
