Who is the author of the opera The Injustice of Dou E?

Dou Eyuan, formerly known as Dou Eyuan, is a zaju created by Guan Hanqing, a dramatist in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was written in the tenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1582). Next, I sorted out the relevant contents for your reference.

Who is the author of Dou E Yuan? The author of Dou E Yuan is Guan Hanqing, whose original name is unknown, whose real name is Zhai (also known as Zhai Lao), Han nationality, Xiezhou (now Yuncheng, Shanxi) and other native places (now Beijing) and (now anguo city, Hebei). The founder of Yuan Zaju, the first of the "Four Masters of Yuan Qu", is also called "Four Masters of Yuan Qu" with Bai Pu, Ma Zhiyuan and Zheng Guangzu.

Zaju achieved the greatest success, with 67 pieces, including 18 pieces (whether individual works were written by him is inconclusive), and Yuan is the most famous. Guan Hanqing also wrote many historical dramas, such as Single Knife Meeting, Single Whip for Focus, Dream of West Shu and so on. Today, there are more than 40 poems and 10 sets of Sanqu.

Guan Hanqing's image of "I am a copper pea that can't be steamed, boiled, boiled, fried or fried" ("A flower is not old") is also widely known as "Qu Sheng".

Dou E's injustice, Dou E's injustice, the main content is that the whole play is 60% off. It is about Dou E, a weak widow, who was framed by hooligans, beaten by unconscious officials, confessed, became a murderer and was sentenced to beheading. Before his execution, Dou E was filled with grief and indignation, and made three vows: blood spilled everywhere, snow fell in June, and there was no drought for three years. Sure enough, Dou E felt wronged and shook the earth, and the three vows were realized one by one.

The play shows the tragic situation that the lower class people are trampled and have nowhere to complain, accuses corrupt officials of ignoring the dark reality of human life, vividly depicts the female image of Dou E, and embodies Guan Hanqing's language style full of human feelings and true colors.

The story of "feeling the sin of heaven and earth" originated from "Donghai filial wife" in Biography of Lienv. In the Yuan Dynasty, some Mongolian ministers colluded with local officials to take bribes and pervert the law in order to meet the extravagant life and military needs of Mongolian nobles. Under the cruel class oppression and national oppression, the working people of all ethnic groups live a miserable life, especially the discriminated Han people and southerners, and there are countless unjust cases. Guan Hanqing is one of some literati with a sense of justice who are dissatisfied with the dark rule of the government and expose the evil of officialdom and social injustice in the form of zaju. He wrote what he saw and heard and the tragic experience of the people into his play "Earthshaking Sin and Injustice".
