Names of characters in Yuan zaju often reveal personality traits. Functioning not unlike painted faces in more modern Chinese opera, names in Yuan drama alert the audience to a character's moral fiber or class/status background. The Yuan drama Hanshan ji offers a case in point. In this melodrama about the dissolution and reunion of a family, the good-hearted but wayward son is named Zhang "Filial to friends" (Xiaoyou); the Zhang family savior is Zhao "Resurrector of the Grandson" (Xingsun). The villain is denied any traces of humanity by his name, Chen "the Tiger" (Hu).
