The literati were quite satisfied with using ci to represent the Song Dynasty. They wrote a lot of ci, but they didn't know how many of them would be selected into textbooks of later generations.

Wish I had my own.

Yuan Dynasty

Kublai Khan was still quite satisfied, at least he was able to leave something for the future. However, the people who wrote these should all be Han people, so the education of the Mongolian tribes should be strengthened.

At least we need to find a master of Yuan opera.

The literati in the Ming and Qing dynasties were quite dissatisfied. Poetry was such a high-end thing, but in the Ming and Qing dynasties it became a novel. This thing was not worthy of being presented on the stage.

They think their poems are well written.

"The host must have made a mistake. We haven't heard of anyone writing novels. Besides, can people who write novels be considered literati? They have no integrity at all."

……

Qi Cheng looked up some information and continued, "There are many writers of Yuan opera. The more famous ones nowadays are the Four Great Yuan Opera Masters: Guan Hanqing, Ma Zhiyuan, Zheng Guangzu, and Bai Pu. Wang Shifu is also very famous."

The several Yuan opera writers mentioned covered their faces and cried. They did not expect that after so many years, there would still be people in the future who would remember them, a few down-and-out literati.

"The most famous among them are probably Guan Hanqing and Wang Shifu, because their plays are still performed today, but not using the tunes of Yuan opera, but using other performance methods."

Guan Hanqing immediately understood that it must be a later drama that adapted his script. No matter what, the story was finally passed down.

I just don't know which one was passed down.

"Guan Hanqing is most famous for his work 'The Injustice of Dou E'. There's an idiom called 'Snow in June' that's derived from it."

Idiom? Now the scholars of the Yuan Dynasty also began to feel jealous. This is an idiom. Whenever they use this idiom in the future, they will think of Guan Hanqing.

Why.

"Guan Hanqing also received many honorary titles in later generations, and it is said that a commemorative coin with his portrait was issued."

Kublai Khan could no longer sit still after hearing this. He saw from the sky that Guan Hanqing lived around the same period as him, and was still a lower-class scholar studying medicine.

No matter what, I'll find him first, and then compile a few Yuan operas. What if it can't be passed down? I'll find someone to carve it on stone myself!

"Wang Shifu wrote a play called 'Romance of the Western Chamber,' which is considered the best play in the world. The lyrics in it are quite skillful. This play is based on Yuan Zhen's 'Meeting the True Love,' and the original tragic ending has been changed to a comedic one."

"There's a line in there that seems to have been on the test: 'What a beautiful day, but what a blessing from nature! Whose yard is this delightful experience?'"

……

The scholars of the Ming and Qing dynasties were furious again. They thought that things like "Romance of the West Chamber" were extremely bad and poisonous weeds. If anyone at home dared to read it, they would break their legs.

How can Tianmu broadcast it so blatantly?

Moreover, why are there so many materials about Wang Shifu in later generations? This person should be cleared out of the literary world.

How can these people be considered literati? Literati should read the Four Books and Five Classics.

Yuan Zhen of the Tang Dynasty was also somewhat surprised. He did not expect that the discussion of Yuan Dynasty literati would also include himself. However, he also hoped that it would stop there, because the discussion was about the Cui family of Boling.

If they knew this, they would definitely come to settle the score with me.

Qi Cheng naturally couldn't find any performance of Yuan Zaju, so he had to use Peking Opera instead.

[Tell Zhang Sheng to hide under the chessboard. I will advance step by step while you crawl step by step...]

After watching the performance on the sky screen, Wang Shifu's hands were shaking with excitement. It was so good, so good in fact, that he decided to get drunk today.

Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao stared at the cute little matchmaker on the screen with his eyes wide open. She was so beautiful that he was eager to know what the script was like so that he could find someone to perform it for him.

Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin was still thinking about firearms, but he couldn't take his eyes off it after a quick glance, not because of the beautiful actor.
