On the Evolvement of the Narrative Structure of the Chuan-qi Drama in the Ming and Qing Dynasties

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties,the Chuan-qi Drama of the literati authors hovered between the open narrative and the limitable narrative. Most of the literati authors in the Ming Dynasty were in deep love with the open narrative so that they ignored the limitable narrative largely. Until between Ming and Qing,many literati authors adopted the limitable narrative and created the precise dramatic structure. But some of the authors in the prophase of the Qing fell over for the symbolic narrative. They became the precursor of the authors in the anaphase of the Qing. It caused the dissolution of the Chuan-qi Drama that the literati authors had given up the limitable narrative.
