Bai Pu (1226—— about 1306), whose original name was Heng, whose word was Renfu, was later renamed Park, Ming, Ming, Han nationality, born in Jizhou (now Hequ, Shanxi) and Bianliang (now Kaifeng, Henan), lived in Jinling (now Nanjing, Jiangsu) in his later years.
Bai Pu was a famous zaju writer in Yuan Dynasty, and he was also called "the four masters of Yuan Dynasty" with Guan Hanqing, Ma Zhiyuan and Zheng Guangzu. Representative works mainly include Rain in the Autumn Night of Tang Minghuang (hereinafter referred to as Rain), Climbing the Wall at once by Pei, The Story of Flowers and Moon on the East Wall by Dong Xiuying (hereinafter referred to as The Story on the East Wall) and Tianjingsha? Autumn, etc.
Bai Pu's Up the Wall Right away is a romantic drama with strong comedy color. The material of this play comes from Bai Juyi's poem "Silver Bottle at the Bottom of the Well". "White Stone" tells the story of a tragic marriage: a woman fell in love with a man, lived together for five or six years, but was regarded as a "wife and concubine" by her parents and was kicked out of the house. In the social atmosphere of "giving up from the beginning", Bai Pu sympathized with this unfortunate woman and warned the world that "you should be careful and don't underestimate others". The content written by Bai Pu in the play is almost the same as the poem A Silver Bottle at the Bottom of the Well, but his ideological tendency is quite different from the original poem. The whole script is full of fiery passion. It depicts women's bold pursuit of love, bravely challenges feudal parents and becomes a hymn to freedom of marriage. Before Bai Pu, the material "Silver Bottle at the Bottom of the Well" has attracted the attention of folk artists. According to the legend of Wulin in Song Dynasty, there is a copy of Pei's Yizhou in the drama of Song Dynasty. Yuan Tao's Record of Dropping Out of Farming contains two works, Yuanyang Bamboo Slips and Horse on the Wall (Part I), while Nanlu contains the Horse on the Wall by Pei Shaonan, a southern opera. However, in the Song version of "A Ghost in the West Hill", there is a sentence that "it is like twisting a green plum to see a young (young) handsome man, and it is like riding an apricot out of the wall", which shows that people constantly adapt this story, add a lot of plots, and even determine the name of the protagonist. On this basis, Bai Pu's plays also greatly enriched the content of the original poem. More importantly, although Bai Pu takes the traditional story as the framework, the characters he wrote are actually based on real life and vivid images of flesh and blood.
