呼唤科举:元杂剧中下层文人的生命呐喊

On the calls for the imperial examinations by the underlings in the plays of Yuan

元杂剧作家的绝大多数是在科举教育的环境中成长的,他们的科举情结也自然流露于作品之中。在元代科举停废的情况下,元杂剧作家主要从下层文人的生活、遭遇、社会地位等角度呼唤着科举,以向世人展示下层文人的人生价值,从中也表达了下层文人对社会政治的关注和参与意识。

Most playwrights of Yuan live in the context of imperial examinations, so they disclose their inner inclinations to the imperial examinations. The playwrights mainly call for the imperial examinations, in the words of the characters of the lower class, to show their concern and desire for the upper class.
