The romance The Golden Boy and the Jade Maiden is a love tragedy that has been handed down since the Ming Dynasty. The story of the love between Wang Jiaoniang and Shen Chun, which is the theme of the The Golden Boy and the Jade Maiden, is an ancient folk tale which has been passed down and appeared in over a dozen versions in the form of novels or zaju.
