Creative background:
In the Yuan Dynasty, the social situation changed greatly, and the situation of scholars fell from the sky to the ground. The imperial examination in Yuan Dynasty was interrupted for more than 70 years. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, the imperial examination system was good and bad. This makes many scholars lose their position in the world, and their social status drops sharply, resulting in the saying of "nine sons and ten beggars". In connection with this, the tragic works condemning the scholar's betrayal of marriage have gradually lost their realistic pertinence. Scholars with low status have become the object of sympathy.
Therefore, the literati images in Yuan Zaju are either mediocre and timid, or pedantic and introverted. Although most of them lack luster, they are rarely used as whipping objects. By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, people felt more and more sorry for the scholar whose status could not be improved, and the works praising the scholar's sincerity gradually became the mainstream of traditional Chinese opera. The Story of Pipa depicts the image of Cai Bojie with sympathy and tolerance, reflecting the social model at that time.
