What is the relationship between the drama creation in Yuan Dynasty and the dramatist's time?

Because the writers of Yuan Zaju lived in a society with concentrated oppression, Yuan Zaju often showed people's grief and social contradictions. The creation of traditional Chinese opera is based on the dramatist's era, because art comes from life but is higher than life.

Under the rule of Yuan and Mongolia, the status of literati and Confucian scholars plummeted, from "the head of four people" to "nine sons and ten beggars". Because of class oppression and ethnic discrimination, their thoughts and feelings are close to the ordinary people at the bottom of society in real life. They share the same fate as ordinary people, and can profoundly convey people's grief and indignation in their creation, and strongly express people's rebellious spirit and life ideal, thus making Yuan Zaju shine brilliantly. For example, Guan Hanqing's Dou E Yuan, Lu Zhailang and Butterfly Dream reflect the most basic social contradictions in Yuan Dynasty in many aspects. Another example is Guan Hanqing's "Saving the Wind and Dust" and "Wangjiang Pavilion", which describe the story that the lower class people can't bear humiliation and rise up to save themselves. Among them, Zhou She in Save the Dust is the son of a local official. He wandered around the Qin Lou Chu Guan all the year round, playing tricks on women. He took a fancy to Song, a prostitute in Liangcheng above, then coaxed him with sweet words and finally hit him. In the face of what happened to Song, Ye Zhao, another woman in this article, feels the same way. With her intelligence and clear understanding of reality, she gave a punch tactfully and saved Song.
