Why is there a "happy ending" in traditional Chinese literature?

Most of the ancient Chinese works, especially the Yuan dynasty plays, generally have a happy ending, "The Western Chamber" Zhang Sheng finally won the scholarship and got the beauty, while "Romeo and Juliet", which is also a representative of the Western love, ends with the martyrdom of both of them. -two people turned into butterflies and flew, the same gives a person a happy happy ending, even if it is "touching the sky and earth" of the "sinus e injustice", the last sinus father also punished the bad guys, is still considered a comedic ending, why do not we produce the ancient Greek tragedy, and more for the happy The first time I've seen this, I've seen a lot of it.

From the point of view of mass aesthetics, as Engels pointed out: "The mission of the folktale book is to make a farmer to do the hard day labor, dragging the tired body back at night, to get happy, uplifted and comforted, so that he forgets his own tiredness, and his barren fields into a fragrant garden. " In ancient times, people lived a hard life, but in times of peace and prosperity, it was relatively good, but natural and man-made disasters such as famine and forced labor often filled the lives of ordinary people, and many times their lives were like grass, even their lives could not be guaranteed, and there were already so many misfortunes in their lives, so why should they add to their own problems by watching a play? The theater also ends more often than not with a happy ending.

From the creator's point of view, China since the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu put forward the "depose the hundred schools, the sole respect for Confucianism," Confucianism has established its dominant position in China's ideology and culture, Confucianism pursues the mediocrity, the beauty of the blandness and peace and lack of conflict of the wind, reflected in the literature and art is the pursuit of happiness and reunion in this world, Confucianism. Reflected in literature and art, it is the pursuit of happiness and reunion in the present world. This bland and peaceful beauty of Confucianism also creates the absence of the spirit of tragedy and tragic consciousness in ancient China, which not only affects the pursuit of traditional aesthetics, but also affects the creation of literature and art at a deeper level. As a result, creators tend to favor happy endings over ancient Greek tragedies.
