On the characteristics and significance of the story-telling scripts of the Song and Yuan Dynasties

The Song and Yuan vernacular scripts and novels were two different types of texts in Chinese literature, which had certain differences. The Song and Yuan Dynasty storytelling was a form of folk literature, usually created by amateur authors to satisfy the entertainment needs of the people. The humorous and vivid language of the Song and Yuan storytellers often described the daily life, psychology, emotions, and social reality of the characters. It was short and concise, and the plot was compact. It often expressed the author's thoughts and feelings with exaggeration and irony. In contrast, novels were a more formal form of literature, usually written by professional authors who had undergone a certain amount of literary training and creative accumulation. The plot of the novel was more complicated, the language was more beautiful, and the characters were more abundant. It required a certain degree of literary accomplishment and creative ability. In addition, there were differences in the subject matter and content between the Song and Yuan Dynasties novels. Song and Yuan Huaben mainly expressed the author's thoughts and emotions in the form of humor, irony, exaggeration, etc. The main subjects included character stories, myths and legends, social reality, etc. The subject matter of the novel was more extensive, including history, legend, science fiction, reality, etc. It could be any genre or theme. Generally speaking, Song and Yuan Huaben and novels were different forms of literature in Chinese literature. Each had its own unique characteristics and styles, and both had very high literary value.

Song and Yuan Huaben referred to a type of novel that was circulated among the people in ancient and modern China. It was short and easy to understand, often expressed in oral form, and its content was rich, covering a variety of social reality and characters. The Song and Yuan Dynasty's vernacular novels have an important position in Chinese history and are one of the important components of Chinese literature. They were widely spread and influenced the development of Chinese literature history, providing important reference and enlightenment for later literary creation. There are many famous works in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, such as Dream of the Red Chamber, Water Margins, Journey to the West, etc. These works not only occupy an important position in the history of Chinese literature, but also have high artistic value and influence in the world.

The Song and Yuan Dynasty's story-telling scripts played an important role in the development of Chinese novels, and had a profound influence on the development of modern Chinese novels. Song and Yuan Huaben refer to the novels of the Song and Yuan Dynasties in China, which were mostly created by the people, and many of them have been handed down to this day. Song and Yuan Huaben were known for their twists and turns in plots, vivid characters, and humorous language. Many works were reflections of social reality. These works have an important position in the history of Chinese novels. They not only created the first of their kind in Chinese novels, but also had a profound impact on the development of modern Chinese novels. The influence of Song and Yuan Huaben on Chinese literature was mainly manifested in the following aspects: He was the pioneer of Chinese novels. The Song and Yuan Dynasty's story-telling was the first step in the history of Chinese novels. It created the first precedent of Chinese novels and laid the foundation for the development of Chinese novels. It had a profound influence on the form and style of Chinese literature.

These works became an important channel to reflect the problems of Chinese society. 4. Enriching the content of Chinese literature.

The Song and Yuan Dynasties and the Ming and Qing Dynasties were important periods for the development of Chinese culture. The Song and Yuan Dynasties was the peak of the cultural development of our country. During this period, literature, art, philosophy and other aspects had made great achievements. In terms of literature, the literary works of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, including Tang poetry, Song Ci, Yuan Qu, etc., all had unique styles and characteristics, reflecting the social style and cultural values of the time. In terms of art, painting, sculpture, music, dance, and other art forms of the Song and Yuan Dynasties had reached an extremely high level. These art forms had made important contributions to inheritance and innovation. In philosophy, the Song and Yuan dynasties put forward many profound ideas, such as Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism and so on. These ideas had a profound impact on the development of philosophy in later generations. The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the lowest point of our country's cultural development. During this period, literature, art, philosophy and other aspects all fell into stagnation and regress. In terms of literature, the literature works of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were mostly traditional poems and novels, which lacked innovation and progress. In terms of art, painting, sculpture, and other art forms gradually became stylized during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Music, dance, and other art forms also stagnated. In philosophy, the philosophers of the Ming and Qing Dynasties mainly focused on politics, morality and other aspects. These thoughts lacked attention to social reality, which also had a negative impact on the development of philosophy in later generations. The main reasons for the differences in cultural development between the Song and Yuan Dynasties and the Ming and Qing Dynasties were the differences in historical, social and cultural backgrounds. In terms of history, the Song and Yuan Dynasties were the later stage of China's feudal society and the period of the sprouting of capitalist society. The different social backgrounds led to the differences in cultural development. In the aspect of society, the differences in social style and cultural background of different regions and different social classes were also one of the reasons for the differences in cultural development. In terms of cultural background, the differences between Chinese traditional culture and Western culture, political system and religious concepts also affected the direction and characteristics of cultural development.

The Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties referred to the historical changes between the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties in Chinese history. The Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) was a dynasty in Chinese history. It was the general name of the three dynasties of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Later Shu, the Southern Tang, and the Northern Song.
