Guan Hanqing calls himself "the leader of the husband and the prodigal son in the world." His famous copywriting [A Flower in Lunan] and "Don't Fu Lao" can be regarded as the declaration of "the prodigal son returns", and its [Huang Zhongwei] Qu Yun:

I am steamed, uncooked, beaten, fried and exploded copper peas, which can't be taken off by anyone who teaches you to get into his hoe. I played Liang Yuanyue, drank Tokyo wine, enjoyed Luoyang flowers and climbed Zhang Tailiu. I can also walk, fight, fight, interrupt, sing and dance, play, swallow, recite poems and fight on both sides. You just lost my tooth, crooked my mouth, crippled my leg, broke my hand, and gave me these bad symptoms from heaven, but you still refused to rest. Then, in addition to the call of Yan himself, ghosts and gods came to hook themselves, three souls returned to the underworld, and seven souls were lost. God, in the meantime, I won't walk on the fireworks road.

This song is full of color, thick pen and ink, and layers are dizzy. Concentrated and exaggerated to shape the image of "prodigal son". This image is of course related to the shadow of the family, and can also be regarded as a portrayal of the mental outlook of the talents in the book club represented by Guan. Of course, it is not desirable to deliberately exaggerate the cynical attitude of the dance academy in the song, but if we look at the specific historical environment of the Yuan Dynasty, it is not difficult to find that this "prodigal son" image reflects the rebellious spirit against the traditional literati's moral norms, the willful and reckless individual life consciousness, and the indomitable and tenacious will to fight, which is actually a manifestation of the new literati's personality and is recognized by the civic consciousness and civic culture. This song is also very artistic. A series of short and powerful sentences in the song are full of energy and determination. The whole song takes the mezzanine technique to the extreme. For example, in the first two sentences, the author added 39 interludes to the sentence pattern in this case, which became a rare long sentence in Sanqu. In fact, these long sentences are made up of a series of three-character short sentences arranged in an orderly way, giving people the feeling of combining long and short sentences and being relaxed. This romantic expression can just express the romantic content and the reckless character of the prodigal son.
