The paper makes a comprehensive summary of Chinese opera with the theme of cultural evolution and dissemination of works acception. It directly focuses on the profound impact of the different social culture on the creation of drama. It is related to the study on the text culture of Chinese drama, transmission and acception. There is social and cultural significance which makes up for similar research projects on Chinese drama and promotes the study on the drama more deeply.There is a different cultural and ideological trend of different historical periods in Yuan Ming and Qing dynasties, as an important stage in which the drama develops. This paper is based on Top Ten drama series with the same theme. It specifically analyzes on the context of the aesthetic image and spirit of the times reflected by the works of drama with the same theme in different social and cultural background.In Yuan Dynasty, the Meng nationality governed the south Area of Yellow River. The Central Plains grassland nomadic culture continuously collided and integrated with traditional culture. It formed multi-cultural society in the Yuan. The civilizing role of government is more loose. The writer of Yuan verse can be bold in creation of drama. Many works have shown spirit of the times inconsistent with the Central Plains culture. Therefore, more drama in the Yuan Dynasty by the same theme is affected by the prairie culture. It consciously or unconsciously displays the nomadic grassland culture integrated with the Central Plains culture as the mainstream.The Han Chinese Ming Dynasty dominated the world again. Zhu has been a massive restoration of Central Plains culture and Reconstruction Movement. Neo-Confucianism becomes the mainstream of Ming social and cultural trends. Many of the same theme are affected by opera works, full of Ethics. Also, because Neo has a lot of irrationality, there was the emancipation of the trend in the late Ming Dynasty. Many works of drama with the theme of reality shows strong spirit and mindset of anti-Confucianism. So the Ming Dynasty Opera mainly affected more positive and negative aspects f traditional culture in Central Plains. It takes promoting traditional culture as the mainstreamQing is also a minority to dominate the world of the era. Due to barbarians China caused by historical changes, in addition to the forthcoming end of the disintegration of feudal society, many of the same themes of opera works debates of another lesson that Han Nationality lose the world in the history. The Qing Dynasty rulers treated Central Plains culture more soberly. Integration of national culture furtherly deepens. So basically speaking, the Qing Dynasty opera with the same theme embodies the Central Plains culture. But it is not completely same with the Yuan and Ming drama, reflected cultural social and cultural thought in a range between the Yuan and Ming dynasties.However, Modern Drama reorganizes and reflects on the same theme focused on modern social civilization and the concept of a harmonious society.From it, one can derive the conclusion that the same theme in different times displays different social and cultural trends. And then the paper explores the rule from the point of spreading and acceptation of the opera. Writers and audience living in different times has variable idea and needs to drama. The drama varies by the occurrence of evolution. Eventually it reflects: drama with the same theme is different at different times in different social and cultural background. The composer's creative thinking of the aesthetic sense and the aesthetic needs of the audience have been different. Therefore, drama with the same theme should adapt to the social development. It can be suitable for different age and cultural needs of the community in order to promote circulation continuously.
