元人在进行元曲批评的时候多采用“序文体”之批评体式。选择“序文体”批评主要是因为这些批评家的身份地位、序文体的价值取向、批评理论的内容本身和当时的社会文化环境所决定的。“序文体”文体特征以及元人所开创的这种批评形态对后世戏剧批评产生了深远影响。 When the Yuan Dynasty criticizes the Yuan Dynasty, it often adopts the criticism style of “Preface Style”. The criticism of choosing “Preface Style” is mainly because of the status of these critics, the value orientation of preface style, the content of critical theory itself and the social and cultural environment at that time. The preface stylistic features as well as the criticism created by the Yuan have had a profound impact on the criticism of later generations of drama.
