Abstract

The profound spiritual and cultural implications involved in the dramas of the Yuan Dynasty (Yuan Chao QCg CE 1271–1368) are related to the existential formation of Buddhism in a special way. For a long time, researchers have paid little attention to this essence. This article attempts to have an insight into the relationship between Yuan dramas and Buddhism.
