The novels of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies appeared in large numbers in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties and became a literary school that can not be ignored in the history of literature.If we trace back to its source,the story of gifted man has long existed and has been talked about by people.Since the love poems in the book of songs,this kind of text about the love between men and women has been loved by people.Through the ages,the plots of these love stories attract the readers.With the development of the story,the images of the hero and heroine are deeply imprinted in the readers’ hearts.The hero and heroine often meet by chance.They fall in love at first sight.Although they go through ups and downs in the process of love,they often get a happy ending in the end“ The plot of "love at first sight" is the beginning of the love story between men and women,and its importance in the story structure is self-evident.This plot has become a model in the novels of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.Starting from the mode of "love at first sight",this paper is divided into three chaptersThe first chapter discusses the development of the works of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies and the evolution of the plot of "love at first sight".Love at first sight is widely used in both the stories of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies before Tang Dynasty and the novels of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies after Tang Dynasty.However,due to the different social environments under the influence of culture and politics,the specific descriptions of such plots in different dynasties’ texts are not the same.The meeting of gifted scholars and beautiful women is stained with the unique flavor of each era and produces a variety of styles.The second chapter mainly makes a detailed analysis and Research on the "love at first sight" in the novels of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties“ The plot of "love at first sight" had different expressions in the texts of different dynasties.In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties,it finally became a relatively fixed plot in the novels of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies.At this time,the mode of "love at first sight" has some characteristics in its object and place of love“ Talented people and beauties who have both talent,color and emotion and have many personalities and wisdom often meet in a familiar family environment or occasionally when they go out to sacrifice.This kind of meeting seems to be full of predestined color,but it is the most realistic way of living under the shackles of the feudal society.Before they can meet,they often show their talents through poetry,which paves the way for the plot of "love at first sight".The third chapter mainly analyzes the plot of "love at first sight" from the perspective of society and psychology.Art comes from life.From the social environment of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty,the frequent occurrence of "love at first sight" has very realistic social factors.In the traditional feudal society,young men and women were strictly forbidden,and the great defense of ethics made them unable to communicate normally.If they happened to meet a talented and beautiful opposite sex,it would be very natural for them to fall in love at first sight.The idea that men are superior to women in society also leads to men’s aesthetic consideration of women’s appearance.This leads to the different starting point of love at first sight.Talented people often love beautiful women because of their appearance,but beautiful women love men’s talent at first.Similarly,from the perspective of women,the occurrence of "love at first sight" also has its own psychological factors.In addition,the creators of these novels are usually male.The male thinking of these writers makes the plot of "love at first sight" a kind of compensation for their own mentality,and also a reflection of their tragic situation.Finally,with the development of commodity economy,the authors cater to the plot of "love at first sight",which has been popular with readers for a long time,and take it as the starting point for the creation of love stories between men and women,so as to ensure the quality and sales of their works.The conclusion part combs the development of "love at first sight" in the past dynasties,and summarizes the main points of the paper.
