The stories of Wei Shu Wu obtained people's favor from the birth and we can see their shadow in the official history books and the folk tales. Before the Yuan Dynasty, under the influence of the Confucianism values, the stories of Wei Shu Wu paied much more attention on people's moral aspects and produced obviously the inclination of respecting Liubei and criticizing Caocao. But in the Yuan Dynasty which the alien race ruled, the Han people's status suffered a disastrous decline and large quantities of writers suffered the distress. With the special catalytic effect of the writers'moving towards the resident of lower social stratum and the particularity of the Yuan Dynasty, the Zaju of Wei Shu Wu arose at the historic moment.,having the obvious characteristic of the knowing man dialoguing with the lower people's culture. The ideological content of the obvious characteristic has two aspects. Firstly, the strong national consciousness, and "being loyal to the emperor" and "being loyal to the country" are emphasized repeatedly. Secondly, the question of the life value becomes difficult for the knowning man .They doubted whether to go to seclusion or not under the tumultuous times ,when the Taoism thought is in vogue .The art displays of the obvious characteristic mainly has three aspects. Firstly, a lot of people are almost finalized ,such as Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang. Secondly, it has many kinds of esthetic styles, such as the style of comedy which is popular and oral ,the style of tragedy which is wonderful and beautiful. Thirdly, it also has a great influence on the prose fiction of "the San Guo Zhi Popular Historical novel". Above all, the drama of Wei Shu Wu has a great deal of unique artistic charm.
