元明两代丰富的戏剧实践是李渔戏剧理论的根据和来源,因此在他的戏剧理论中不免对前代的戏剧有所评价。在这些评价中可以看出李渔对元代戏曲基本持褒扬态度,其褒扬体现在他对元曲的历史定位,元曲的语言,元曲的结构体制、元曲的音律及元曲《西厢记》等作品的肯定中。 The rich drama practice of the Yuan and Ming dynasties is the basis and source of Li Yu’s drama theory. Therefore, his dramatic theory can not help but appraise the drama of the previous generation. From these evaluations, we can see that Li Yu praised the opera basically in the Yuan Dynasty. His compliment was reflected in his historical position of the Yuan Dynasty, the language of the Yuan Dynasty, the structural system of the Yuan Dynasty, the temperament of the Yuan Dynasty and the “Western Chamber” And other works in the affirmative.
