Li Yu is a typical and unique "text" of Jiangnan urban culture in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The fine appreciation between daily life and artistic aesthetics, the blend of elegance and vulgarity, enabled Li Yu to form his own opera narrative theory that integrates literature, music, performance and reception in the activities of writing lyrics, music and performing and teaching. This book deeply discusses important aspects such as Li Yu's leisurely mood and the interest of Jiangnan cities, the narrative structure strategy of Li Yu's operas and the cultural customs of Jiangnan cities, the narrative implications of Li Yu's interesting operas and the cultural psychology of Jiangnan cities. It is of great enlightenment for readers to comprehensively and carefully grasp Li Yu and his operas.
