Content: In Ming Dynasty's drama has many about the dream description. The Ming Dynasty generation of drama dream quantity multitudinous, the type is rich, and these also played to the dream description in the article the extremely vital role. These dreamlands also all have some such as mystiques, unreal and so on the common feature, and many dreamland descriptions also have its same function in the article. Therefore, conducts the research to the Ming Dynasty dream play, is feasible, is extremely essential.First chapter, the reason which produced to the dream play has carried on the discussion from the cultural origin and the thought origin two aspects. In the cultural origin aspect, may see and China ancient times had massively is established by usage about the dream literary reference, these literary references in the literary work, take great pains repeatedly the utilization. But in the thought origin aspect, the beauty induces the thought, the Buddhism thought, the Taoism thought as well as the composer "the life like dream" the thought all has to the Ming Dynasty dream play the profound influence.Second chapter has conducted the research to Ming Dynasty dream play in the whole. I first carried on the backward to the Yuan Dynasty dream play, the contrast have studied the Ming Dynasty dream play and the Yuan Dynasty dream play, divided into these two time dream play several common types to carry on the comparison research. In Yuan zaju several kinds common ford the dream play, because for instance holds the dream, the omen dream, to escape the dream, thinks Cheng Meng and so on, but because receives the Yuan zaju manifestation and the length limit, its dreamland description unavoidable some patternizing, and flow simply in. But the Ming Dynasty drama has carried on the further consummation in the Yuan zaju foundation, not only was in quantity had the very great degree growth, moreover in a deeper stratification plane has tapped the potential which the dream play described.Third chapter is the article main body part, I mainly was one to four arrange to "Old book Drama Series" in the legend and the zaju dream play have conducted the system classified research. First is the immortal dream, in this part of dream play, the deity enters in mortal's dreamland the goal mainly is extricates the life the misery, like will escape, the direction to mortal march future, the demonstration retributive justice, sometimes also will be able to teach the ability, also sometimes can save directly in the dream the human from the misery, but will be noteworthy also has very small part of dreams, in these dreams, the deity was comes for own matter, to tell the fatality of this world difficult story.Next is the soul dream. The Ming Dynasty soul dream biggest characteristic is, not only here soul has soul of the deceased person, but also has soul of the live person, moreover quantity not under dead soul. Dream of in the dead spirit many is the desire which die with injustice unredressed must complete has not completed before death, for instance said must revenge must entrust the things to do after death, but also has some to die not willingly must come back to life lives. Under but compares, the soul dream was much more vivid, similar spring dream has not had the mark.Then is the dream of the omen, this kind dreams of various in each kind of literary work, also very difficult to have any fresh idea, however quantity actually many in the Ming Dynasty dream play. Mainly is several kinds: To destiny omen, to marital omen, king's dream omen. In this kind of dream play also has the play which several are noteworthy is writes prays the dream, not only recorded in detail has prayed the dream the place, in order to what prayed the dream, moreover also the bright enlightenment, as well as afterwards fulfilled the situation. But because the material are few, is unable to conduct the system research.Because in addition also has thinks dream of the result, this kind of dream is very good understood, generally speaking is the date has thinks, the night has a dream. Finally is other some dreams, for instance confuses the dream really imaginary and most interesting inserts funny dialog the dream.In Fourth chapter, "the dream" the phenomenon description function conducted the research to the Ming Dynasty drama in, dream of the omen to impelled the plot development, to promulgate the character destiny the function; Because thinks becomes the dream to unfold character's psychology function; In the immortal dream the gorgeous deity descends to earth the scene to creates the extraordinary beautiful stage effect, as well as to seeing a play enlightenment function; In the soul dreams to contrasts the drama to the hell description the situation, metaphor drama subject function and so on.In Ming Dynasty generation of drama to dream description, not only manifested the Ming Dynasty writer's scintillation, the refined appearance elegantly, has resented the world and detested mundane affairs, the dissolute outstanding disposition characteristic, displayed at that time people's cultural psychology, at that time society's cultural custom, moreover also displayed in the play the vivid one kind of intrinsic appeal beautiful and the external ethics beautiful unification.
