Abstract

It was a transition of music and dancing in the early and middle Qing dynasty, when female impersonators became popular in space of female kabuki. The industry of female impersonators gave the most profound impact on Chinese literature. It is mainly that female impersonators had an influence on homosexual literature. The first class writers who would be willing to create the literature images were on the increase. The writers felt well disposed towards the actors, which improved the standard of work and led to elegance of homosexual literature. Because of the decreasing of masculinity and the increasing of femininity, those works were getting feminine and tender. It has practical strategic significance for China to study the effect of culture about female impersonators.
