The Greed of"Wine,Sex,Wealth and Rage"Plot of Zaju in Yuan and Ming Dynasties
In nearly ten dramas of the Yuan Dynasty,the plot of"wine,sex,wealth and rage"was used to test the characters in the drama,which was followed by the dramatists of the Yuan Dynasty and later,and gradually formed a fixed plot pattern.This plot mode can play a role in shaping the characters,enriching the plot,highlighting the theme and expressing the playwright's feelings.Under the influence of multiple factors,such as religious belief,social atmosphere and writers'circumstances,this pat-tern appeared most frequently in the Yuan Dynasty,and gradually decreased in the Ming Dynasty,until the Qing Dynasty com-pletely disappeared.
