Abstract: From the period of Song and Yuan to that of Qing, the poem Yulou combined with paintings had been expanded to various literary styles. The Yulou mode involved the combination of man with scene and emotion, the surface narrative layer oriented by romance and the deep narrative one with views toward beauty and emptiness as the core. Such mode had undergone a process from elegance to vulgarity, and finally again to elegance. The author of Chin Ping Mei should have taken this mode as reference and compiled it in an attempt to adapt it to the novel.
