Cui Yingying's Romance of the West Chamber praised the marriage based on love, but denied the traditional marriage mode in feudal society. As a Miss Guo Xiang, Yingying falls in love with a scholar who has lost both books and swords, which, to a great extent, violates the standard of choosing a spouse based on family status, property and power. Yingying and Zhang Sheng always pursue sincere feelings. At first, they fell in love with each other's talents and looks. After a series of events, such as chorus singing, temple fair police, listening to the piano, refusing to get married and forcing them to try, their emotional content became richer. What dominates here is a sincere spiritual feeling.
Cui Yingying's "The West Chamber" was adapted by Li Rihua in the Ming Dynasty into the Southern Opera "The West Chamber". After the Qing Dynasty, various local operas such as Kunqu Opera and Peking Opera were staged, which had a far-reaching influence on the creation of Peony Pavilion by Tang Xianzu and Dream of Red Mansions by Cao Xueqin. For example, the twenty-third chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, the witty remarks of The West Chamber and the rhetoric of The Peony Pavilion are all directly related to Cui Yingying's The West Chamber. Cui Yingying's The Romance of the West Chamber has been especially favored by scholars in past dynasties. Now there are more than 100 versions in Ming and Qing dynasties, which is the most classical repertoire. Latin, English, French, German, Russian, Italian, Japanese, etc. It has been translated and influenced all over the world.
