ABSTRACT

The Yuan Dynasty was a special period ruled by ethnic minorities. It was the tradition of the horseback people to give preference to martial arts over literature, and the feudal society developed until the Song Dynasty, when the ritual and music system was complete, and the Yuan Dynasty opened a new horizon for it. On an objective level, the cultural background and the abolition of the imperial examination system by the ruling class made the literati determined to return to seclusion, and on a subjective level, culture was not dominated by Confucian norms, the creative environment was freer, and the arts showed diversified development. The ruling class respected Tibetan Buddhism as the state religion, the literati were indifferent and reclusive, and the common people were happy with the secularism.
