Tell me about the artistic achievements of The West Chamber.

* * * There are two answers. One is simple, you can choose!

One:

1. The most outstanding achievement of The Romance of the West Chamber is to fundamentally change the theme and tragic ending, and portray the hero and heroine as a pair of young people who are steadfast in love, dare to break through the shackles of feudal ethics, and finally get a satisfactory result through unremitting efforts. This change makes the anti-feudal tendency of the script more distinct, and highlights the theme of "May all lovers get married". In terms of art, the script has completed the shaping of artistic images such as Yingying, Zhang Xun and Matchmaker through complex dramatic conflicts, which makes the characters' personality characteristics vivid and vivid, and strengthens the drama of the works.

2. The lyrics of The West Chamber are gorgeous and beautiful, full of poetic artistic conception. It can be said that every song is a wonderful lyric poem. In A Dream of Red Mansions, Cao Xueqin praised it through the mouth of Lin Daiyu, saying that "words warn people and smell fragrant all over the world".

3. The Romance of the West Chamber is a realistic masterpiece of China's classical drama, which has a great influence on later novels and dramas with the theme of love. The Peony Pavilion and A Dream of Red Mansions both absorbed the anti-feudal democratic spirit from it to varying degrees.

Two: a simple answer

About the same time that Guan Hanqing was engaged in frequent creative activities, another wonderful flower appeared in the Yuan drama circle, that is, Wang Shifu's drama The West Chamber. If Guan Hanqing's plays are swept away with heroic pen and ink, then The Story of the West Chamber written by Wang Shifu with shocking ideological content presents a radiant style like "Beauty among Flowers". Guan and Wang in the field of traditional Chinese opera, like Li and Du in the field of poetry, are a pair of Gemini in tandem. As a script, The Story of the West Chamber shows the integrity of stage art and reaches the highest level of drama creation in Yuan Dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, Jia looked around the theater and put forward that "The Romance of the West Chamber is the best in the world", which fully affirmed the position of The Romance of the West Chamber in the history of literature.
