Abstract
Because forms of performing arts and story-telling such as drama, fiction, and film present a caricature of social life, they inevitably describe people's good and evil deeds and their conflicts. In the world history of art over two thousand years,numerous works of drama, fiction, and film have done so from a position of correct or at least relatively correct morality. In this sense, artistic justice is an eternal theme for performing arts and story-telling,and the theory of artistic justice should have been well established. However, in the present-day, works on artistic justice are mostly published by scholars in the field of "law and literature", rather than literature or other forms of art. Because the generic structure, generating reasons, social effects, and methodology of artistic justice remain largely under researched, scholars' understandings of this theory are relatively vague. This article analyzes the generic structure of artistic justice, in the hope of promoting studies of this theory.
