(5) Ming and Qing Dynasties - the prosperous period of opera. In the Ming Dynasty, legends developed. The legend of Ming Dynasty originated from Nanxi in song and Yuan Dynasty (Nanxi is the abbreviation of Nanqu opera, which is a new form of drama developed on the basis of Song Dynasty Zaju and the combination of Southern tunes. Wenzhou is its birthplace. The South opera is different from the North opera in system: it is not limited by four fold, nor by one person singing to the end. The narration plot with opening words is mostly the ending of a happy reunion. The style is more lingering, not as impassioned as the North opera, more free in form, more convenient to express life. Unfortunately, only a few copies of the early southern opera remained. Until the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the southern opera began to flourish. After the processing and improvement of scholars, this short opera, which was not strict enough, finally became a quite complete long play. For example, the brilliant Pipa is a work of transition from southern opera to legend. The theme of this work, originated from folklore, shows a complete story, and has a certain degree of drama, once known as the "ancestor of the rise of southern opera". In the middle of Ming Dynasty, a large number of legendary writers and plays emerged, of which Tang Xianzu achieved the most. He wrote many legendary plays in his life, and the Peony Pavilion is his masterpiece. Through the story of Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei's life and death, the work extols the rebellious spirit of opposing feudal ethics, pursuing happy love and demanding personality liberation. The author gives love the power of reviving from the dead. It conquers the shackles of feudal ethics and achieves the final victory. This is of far-reaching social significance in the society that feudal ethics firmly ruled at that time. This play has been loved by readers and audiences for 300 years since it was published. Up to now, "boudoir school" and "dream" are still active in the stage of opera performance, radiating its artistic brilliance.
