By deeply reducing the thought connotation and artistic characteristics of the novels about human relationship in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this paper combs the trajectory and the rule of evolution about its integration of elegance and popularity,and highlights its cultural and regional characteristic,and focuses on its modern transformation of integration of elegance and popularity, and strives to newly grasp and deeply construct it.The main part of this paper includes five chapters, another the introduction and epilogue. The introduction part mainly is to define the three basic concepts:the novel about human relationship in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and criticism of elegance and popularity, and cultural map, so as to pave the way for the discuss of the main part of the paper. The first chapter, The Occurrence of the Integration of elegance and popularity in the Novel about Human Relationship in the Ming and Qing Dynasty: Oilu outshines others. Qilu is the birthplace and important source of the novel about human relationship in the Ming and Qing Dynasties,which dedication two world masterpieces:Jin Ping Mei and the Marriage Stories to Awaken Men.First,"The most wonderful novel"Jin Ping Mei is wonderful for its absolute "Popularity","evil" and "ugliness" of content.Second,it is wonderful for its theme of"elegance","good","kindliness".Finally,it is also wonderful for its detail, character,structural and language,and so on.Therefore Jin Ping Mei is far more wnderful than Mei Cheng’s Oi Fa,and it become a great,constant,personal " Flower of Evil".There are clear tone of Ming Dynasty and style of memoir in the Marriage Stories to Awaken Men which should not was finished after Ming Dynasty and might spread since the early of Qing Dynasty.lt is a heavy moral elegy.but its magic weapon is Buddhist karma. Facing such society actuality of moral degradation,Xi Zhou Sheng redeems social morality by drastic karma narration which has strong moral complex and Confucianism standard,and expects a recurrence of the beautiful moral society of the Western Zhou Dynasty.Chapter2,The Consciousness and Development of the Integration of elegance and popularity in the Novel about Human Relationship in the Ming and Qing Dynasty:Wu Yue strive for elegance. Suzhou is the source of the tide of the short story about human relationship in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty,and Feng Meng-long,who is the guru of the short story about human relationship,promoted "playing elegance" and "appropriating custom" and tried vigorously to improve the status of the novel, and in his compilation of San Yan he successfully achieved integration of Elegance and Common,which had an far-reaching effect on the development of China’s fiction later.LING Meng-Chu’Er Pai from FENG Meng-Long’s San Yan is deeper than its origin.On the one hand, its narration of human relationship abound everywhere improves reality of the works,and deliveries the author’s Art Pursuit about "advocating miracle" and "advocating popularity",but on the other hand,he attaches great importance to the theme of promoting virtues and punishing evils,which embodies his kindly heart. LING Meng-Chu’s writing practice takes combining vulgar content and elegent theme of novels to a new level,and he produces a startling of climax creating short novels about Human Relationship iduring Late Ming Dynasty and Early Qing Dynasty with FENG Meng-Long.Hangzhou is the key position of the short story about human relationship in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty,in which some famous writers such as LU Yun-long and his brother,lI Yu and Ai Na lay buddhist,and so on. LU Yun-Long and his brother rely mainly on Confucianism and secondarily on Tao and Buddhism,which makes them real Neo-Confucianism.Xing Shi Yan develops promoting virtues and punishing evils of San Yan,and strikes out in another way, which directly sets up typical examples to vigorously carry on Confucian ethics such as Zhong Xiao Jie Yi. Meanwhile,the author paies attention to the authenticity and timeliness of the work,and resourcefully mingles Neo-Confucianism and human relationship as well as elegance and popularity.So it becomes a miracle in Ming and Qing short stories about human relationship, thus being worthy of the modern title of San Yan Er Pai Yi Xing.LI Yu always keeps the complex of celebrity,though he makes a lot of popular things. He equates novel with drama and simply goes in for "originality" and "amusement",so though combining elegance and popularity with "containing education in amusement" in his novels has breakthroughs and innovation in some respect.it is difficult to create real excellent works in spite of his uncommon genius, for immoderate "amusement" and "popularity" covers up "education" and "elegance" and stylization and symbolization of drama makes him overlook important detailed depiction of novels,which is regrettable.Because the social reality did not allow to refute Buddhism and Taoism too frankly at that time.Ai Na played ploies to write Idle Talk Under the Bean Arbor.which is a wonderful work of the short story about human relationship in the Ming and Qing dynasties,so Ai Na koji,Purple Beards Madman, Whooping Crane in the Sky and Chen Zhai-zhang may well be the same person,and Idle Talk Under the Bean Arbor is analogous to Han Yu’s Speculating the Origin of Tao or Removing the Crocodile.Chapter4, The Mature of the Integration of elegance and popularity in the Novel about Human Relationship in the Ming and Qing Dynasty:Contending for Hegemony in the North and SouthNanjing is the prime source of the novel about human relationship in the middle of Qing Dynasty in Jiangnan, in which CAO Qu-Jing’s Gu Wang Yan,WU Jing-Zi’s the Scholars,and CAO Xue-Qin’s the Dream of the Red Chamber which is the pinnacle of the novel in the Ming and Qing dynasty. Gu Wang Yan’s writer CAO Qu-Jing and its reviewer LIN Dun-Weng are one and the same person in fact,whose complex characters and deep theme forge its elegant quality as a novel about human relationship.It persuades humankind by Buddhist karma,especially warns readers with various terrible wages of lust,which exhibits writer’s "Bodhicitta".CAO Qu-Jing has the distinctive attitude.taste and ider about creation,which is an importent key of unlocking the puzzle of Gu Wang Yan, especially its excessive "pornographic words".The Scholars is a novel about human relationship with strong ironic feature, which combines of destruction and construction. It is both "Against Confucianism"and" Respecting Confucianism",for the former is "Popular Confucianism" and the later is "Elegent Confucianism".At the same time,it is both "Reducing Taoism and Buddhism" and "Tending to Taoism and Buddhism",for the former is many ugly phenomenon in Taoism and Buddhism and the later is the true meaning of Taoism and Buddhism,which constitute he Connotation of Elegance and Popularity of the work and represent consistent subject of"promoting virtues and punishing evils" and "waking the mass" in the novels about human relationship.There are three novels about human relationship:Sui Yuan Xia Shi’s Lin Lan Xiang,LI Bai-Chuan’s Fairy Trace above the Green Fields,and LI Lv-Yuan’s The Lamp on the Crossroads in the middle of Qing dynasty.Lin Lan Xiang has three layers of meaning:the outermost layer is YAN Meng-Qing’s personal tragedy, the middle layer is the Confucianism of QU Yuan.and the innermost layer is pursuit of Taoism after recovering from the world, appearing as GENG Lang’s changing from Confucianism to Taoism.YAN Meng-Qing"s understanding Taoism on her deathbed.TIAN Chun-Wan’s possession both Confucianism and Taoism.and XUAN Ai-Niang and PING Cai-Yun’s essence of Taoism and so on. Though the combination of elegance and popularity in Lin Lan Xiang is merely successful for its too elegant, it is still one of the superior Ming and Qing novels about human relationship.Fairy Trace above the Green Field’s "Green Fields" is the symbol of real life and its "Fairy Trace " is the symbol of taoism. The former takes up more than half of the book, including five sections of human relationship’s narration.which is combined by LENG Yu-Bing’s "Fairy Trace"."Fairy Trace" narration above the "Green Country" is to guide, promote the "green fields", which establish the character of novels about human relationship of Fairy Trace above the Green Fields. Fairy Trace above the Green Fields,"Buddhism above the Green Fields" such as Jin Ping Mei,the Legendary of Waking Marriage and the Dream of Red Mansions,and the Lamp on the Crossroads that is the masterpiece of "Confucianism above the Green Fields" do the same,which represents the highest achievements of the Chinese classical fiction.LI Lv-yuan’s the Lamp on the Crossroads is the "lamp" of neo-Confucianism and the "lamp" of Moderation, and is also the "lamp" with the implication of Taoism and Buddhism. The Lamp on the Crossroads creates successfully three groups images of "elegent people" and a group of "popular people", especially,Tan Shao-wen’s development of elegance and popularity attests that the "lamp" of elegant spirit and culture is rather important.Chapter4, ThePeak of the Integration of elegance and popularity in the Novel about Human Relationship in the Ming and Qing Dynasty:be compatible with North and South in the Dreams in the Red Mansion. There are two modes of appealing to both refined and popular tastes:one is "aggrieving refined and accommodating popular"whom Zhu Zi-qing relate.the other is my "refined and popular",which means that everyone of us has all we need when we are faced with a work whose "refined and popular"do not conflict and both are fruitful.The Dreams in the Red Mansion is such example of "refined and popular".There is a transitional level of’emotion" between the two poles of refined and popular in it, which is the key and the watershed when appreciating refined and popular from it and the time of appreciating refined and popular from the Dream in the Red Mansion is still ahead.Chapter5, The Modern transformation of the Integration of elegance and popularity in the Novel about Human Relationship in the Ming and Qing Dynasty:Shanghai has no rivals. A unprecedented tide of novel creation emerged in the late Qing dynasty in Shanghai.for its unique geo-political environment and LIANG Qi-Chao’s initiation of "fictional revolution".whose crowning achievement is condemnation novels by which Chinese classic novel finished modern transformation in integrating elegance and popularity.There are four obstacles when reading HAN Bang-Qing’s the Biographies of Shanghai Prostitutes:language, popularity of subject matter and content; elegance of theme,and depicting human nature in detail and using the practical technique, which is most important.Sing-song Girls of Shanghai’s artistic quality is similar to A Dream of Red Mansions of CAO Xue-Qin’s edition,which causes its destiny of "too highbrow to be popular" and hardly comparing with GAO E’s A Dream of Red Mansions in suiting both the refined and popular tastes.LI Bo-Yuan opposes to worship of everything Western and thoroughly deny tradition by revolution,and tends to the middle course of integration from Western and Chinese civilization in reform and modernization.Although the Revelation of the Officials True Features hit home of the late Qing Dynasty, A Brief History of Civilization,focusing upon reform and modernization which is the most fundamental conditions in the late Qing Dynasty,shows heavier and more profound for its epic flavor,and successfully cause the modern transformation and the derivation of elegance and popularity about fictions about human relationship in the Ming and Qing Dynasty,which rates with the first-class novels in the late Qing Dynasty,especially its strong Shanghai narration is unique and far-reaching. WU Jian-Ren’s change of attitude for ghost and Daoism and Buddhism reflects his spiritual trend from departure to regression about traditional culture,which brings about his moral complex getting stronger.His creation of novels is influenced by LIANG Qi-Chao and "Mu Yu Book",so his social novel,historical novel and romantic novel are moral narration with different packing,and has feature of "Mu Yu Book" in rousing the public.especially his romantic novel is in agreement with FENG Meng-Long’s"Qing Jiao theory",which composes new articles of integration of elegance and popularity about fictions about human relationship in Ming and Qing.Taigu school originates from fusing Taoism and Buddhism into Confucianism, which devote themselves to society by persuting Tao and achieve final miracle in Chinese history of ancient civilization.LIU E has a close connection with Taigu school.whose life is a wonderful work of taigu school.so Travels of Lao Tsan as his work of "crying"and soul is full of strong narration about Taigu school.Travels of Lao Tsan’s theme of rousing the public to accept the theory of evolution depending on industries is achieved by taking technics of novel and allegory.and its third-person narrative form.detailed description and depiction of reality improve the reality and authenticity of its content,which brings about its derivation of elegance and popularity,the last refulgence of Chinese classical novel and the great beginning of Chinese modern novel.ZENG Pu’s romantic temperament clicks with modern French romanticism, which strengthens his ideology of modern color:so his creation is permeated with a strong modern spirit also. if Nie Hai Hua mainly demonstrates his patriotism,then Lu man bares ZENG Pu’s romantic feelings to pursuit of truth goodness and beauty.This two novel is unfinished, but it is enough to show ZENG Pu ’s remarkable ideological level and artistic talent, and allows ZENG Pu to become most important founder of Chinese modern novel.The conclusion briefly combs the evolution of novels about human relationship. Since Jin Ping Mei, the history of novels about human relationship has more than500years,which experiences the evolution of a boom in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty.a transient resurgence in the late Qing Dynasty and once more flourishing in the contemporary.
