Zaju is the most important and representative literary work in Yuan Dynasty. Later, people called zaju and Yuanqu together as Yuanqu, which became a literary form that can represent an era side by side with "Tang Poetry and Song Poetry".

Its main content is to expose social darkness and reflect people's sufferings. The main representative writers are Guan Hanqing, Zheng Guangzu, Ma Zhiyuan and Bai Pu. The main representative works are The Grief of Dou E, Autumn in the Han Palace, Away from the Soul, Wu Tongyu and so on.

The lyrics and aria of Yuan Zaju also have their own characteristics: the core of Yuan Zaju is the lyrics. Every fold of the same play is composed of a set of songs in Gongdiao, and it must rhyme to the end.

If a play is 40% off as we said above, there must be four different palace tunes. We are studying music now, and the tunes will have harmonic tones and so on, and the palace tunes in zaju are similar to this. For example, it has the main hall, the Huangli Palace and so on.

Yuan Zaju usually limits each script to only one of Zheng Dan or Zheng Dan. The book sung by Zheng Dan is the book sung by Dandan, and the last book sung by Zheng Dan is called the last book.

There is also Bai Bin in Yuan Zaju. Zaju is mainly about singing, with speaking white as the guest, so speaking white means speaking white. Bai Bin is actually spoken by the characters in zaju, sometimes in spoken language.
