After Wang Guowei had studied the works of Yuan Opera, he said : " In a word, it has artistic conception." His theory of artistic conception had widened the area of customs theory of artistic conception and had new meaning. My article will look though many questions of Yuan Opera's artistic conception though Wang Guowei's theory. Artistic conception in Chinese opera is a beautiful world, which is a mixture of feelings and scenes and stories. My article is to discuss that how Yuan Opera works creates the artistic conception though feelings and scenes and stories. Firstly, they expressed feelings frankly and deeply. Secondly, their describing scenes was to express the author's feelings, and they blended subjective feeling and objective setting, and let the scenes act important roles in the dramas. Thirdly, authors of Yuan Opera faced the world frankly and described their lives by feelings and not by reasons. They were used to describe the spirits of their characters. The mixing of feelings and scenes and stories took on a look of artistic conception, which was a natural and real aesthetic world and let readers have aesthetic feelings. To criticize Yuan Opera by artistic conception is of great significance to the found of native criticism system in area of China Opera's criticism.
