Why Yuan Song is not as good as Tang Poetry and Song Poetry?

There are several reasons why Yuan Opera is inferior to Tang Poetry and Song Poetry:

1. Different cultural background: The Yuan Dynasty was a regime dominated by Mongols, and its cultural background was very different from that of the Central Plains in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Yuanqu and Tang poetry and Song poetry are quite different in cultural atmosphere and aesthetic concept, so they are also different in artistic expression.

Different purposes of creation: Yuanqu was mainly created to meet the entertainment needs of the court and nobles in the Yuan Dynasty, and its themes mainly included court life, historical legends and wars. , the pursuit of gorgeous stage effects and music performances. Poetry in the Tang and Song Dynasties, on the other hand, pays more attention to expressing personal feelings, depicting natural scenery and expressing social thoughts, which is closer to people's lives and emotions.

3. Limitation of creative skills and forms: Yuanqu is limited by some specific creative rules and forms, such as the provisions in the four major operas (the four main types of Yuanqu) and the requirements for rhythm and rhythm. These restrictions will have a certain impact on the freedom and expressiveness of creation.
