Beijing Zhu and Romeo are also love tragedies, but what kind of different concepts of love are hidden in them?

Beijing Zhu is patient and hesitant, while Romeo is passionate and direct.

In Liang Zhu, Zhu Yingtai (祝英台), a cross-dresser, fell in love with her classmate Liang Shanbo (梁山伯), and when he graduated, she asked him to visit her in "two months" and was ready to reveal her love to him when he came. And she was ready to wait for him to come to reveal his identity, so that he could propose marriage to his elder brother, but Liang Shanbo, who had an inferiority complex due to his family, did not come to the appointment for half a year.

When he finally summoned up the courage to come over, Yingtai has long been promised to others, "since the hate to come late, remorseful," Liang Shanbo chose to hold back, and finally "lovesickness, moribund, to the end of the year died". The ancients were constrained by Confucianism, and there was a kind of unspeakable repression and hesitation in their attitude towards "love".

Western mainstream aesthetics, "beauty" like almost all of the "hero", and has a strong personal heroism, so in "Romeo and Juliet", Romeo and Juliet's cousin duel with his death, which is the development of the plot. develops the plot later.
