This paper tries to make a preliminary discussion about "zi kuang" dramas of Ming Dynasty based on the drama texts themselves. It takes the culture development of Ming Dynasty as macroscopic background. Also according to the drama evolution of Ming Dynasty, this paper makes a systematic study about these drama texts, why and how they were produced. It points out that the the intense strife of politics, the imperial examination system and the "xinxue" ideological trend are the reasons. In self-expression type, the zikuang dramas of Ming Dynasty construct the subjects through three ways:telling some real historical stories, revising the stories of traditional theme and fabricating new stories. In art, the "zi kuang" dramas of Ming Dynasty have some particular features:the intense subject consciousness, the flexible structure and great innovation and so on. These dramas help the development of the south zaju and chuanqi. They also promote the course of scholaring dramas. All of these play an important part in the creations in the "zi kuang" dramas of Qing Dynasty.
