Abstract: The image of literati in folk literature and art is often solemn and humorous and mostly humor outstrips solemnity.From the “sour” drama and “roaring” drama of the Song Zaju,to the “Fengmo literati” in Yuan Zaju,and then to all kinds of “funny literati” in the novel notes of Ming and Qing Dynasties,the images of humorous literati come down in one continuous line.At first,this kind of image was only due to the funny personality of a particular scholar.Breaking through the limitation of realistic image in the folk literature and art of the Tang Dynasty,the image was endowed with humorous and funny artistic character,and was established as the specific image type in the Song and Jin Dynasties.The unitary short-play form promotes the humorous fragments and dramatic methods of Zaju into other types of folk literature and art,forming a communication path from oral drama to written literature.The formation of this image not only reflects people's pursuit of a happy life and spiritual pleasure,but also reflects the artistic creativity generated by the collision between the functionality of folk literary and artistic creation and image typology.In the process of entering literati writing from folk culture,it has constantly improved the image character and has become an image type with both aesthetic interest and cultural value.
