Abstract The Yuan Dynasty created a culture of prodigals, recluses and fighters. The prodigals＇ loose life, the recluses＇ taste and the fighters＇ openness gave rise to the Yuan people＇ s resistant consciousness and aesthetic life, which in turn formulated the humanistic spirit of Yuanqu-the popular verse of the Yuan Dynasty. As representatives of prodigals and recluses respectively, Liu Yong and Tao Yuanming became idols in the Yuan society. If the Wei, Jin and the following Six Dynasties were the time when men of letters began to wake and literature became self-conscious, the Yuan Dynasty was then the time when ordinary people began to wake and popular literature became self-conscious-this is an important cultural proposal that should formally put forward. Guan Hanqing＇ s ＂Never too Old＂, Ma Zhiyuan＇ s ＂Autumn Thoughts＂ and Sui Jingchen＇ s ＂＇ The Emperor Returns Home＂ are the representatives of the prodigals＇ loose life, the recluses＇ taste and the fighters＇ openness.
