The relationship between Ming Dynasty novels and Song and Yuan Huaben could be described from many aspects. In terms of literary form, the novels of the Ming Dynasty and the novels of the Song and Yuan Dynasties have similarities.

In terms of language, the novels of Ming Dynasty inherited the spoken language style of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. They used simple, clear and easy-to-understand language to better adapt to the tastes of readers at that time. However, in terms of literary content, there were obvious differences between the novels of the Ming Dynasty and the novels of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The literary nature of Ming Dynasty novels was more formal, usually describing social reality and reflecting the lives and thoughts of the people at that time. In terms of plots and characters, Ming Dynasty novels were more delicate, profound and complex, often with a deeper level of thinking and philosophical meaning. In addition, the novels of the Ming Dynasty and the novels of the Song and Yuan Dynasties had different ways of spreading. The novels of the Ming Dynasty were mainly spread through printing and handwritten copies so that more people could read and understand them. The Song and Yuan Huaben were mainly spread through oral communication, such as rap, opera, etc., so that more people could hear and remember. To sum up, there are similarities and obvious differences between the novels of the Ming Dynasty and the novels of the Song and Yuan Dynasties in terms of form and content, but they are both important components of Chinese literature and have made important contributions to the development of Chinese literature.
