章节摘录

插图：Emerging during the Song Dynasty, the earliest mature the ater in China flourished in Zhejiang and was called Wenzhou zaju. It was sharply different from Song Jin zaju in two ways. On the one hand, actors in Song Jin zaju didn't necessarily play fixed roles whose main purpose was to make fun. On the other, it was a small-sized xinong without complete stories.During the late Southern Song Dynasty （1127-1279）, new the ater emerged with set length and complete stories in which actorsp layed dramatic roles and performed by various means including speech and song. Moreover, such performances maintained the irbasic forms to the present day. The highly sophisticated the aterstyle during the Southern Song Dynasty emerged in Wenzhou and flourished in southern area of the Yangtze River and was known as"southern tune xiwen" or simply referred to as "xiwen."The earliest complete script was found and repurchased in1920 in a small antique shop in London by scholar Ye Gongchuo.It included works such as The No.1 Scholar Zhang Xie （ZhangXie Zhuang Yuan）, The Butcher （Xiao Sun Tu） and Wrong Career of Official's Son （Huan Men Zi Di Cuo Li Shen）.The No.1 Scholar Zhang Xie was compiled by the scholars in the Jiushan Club in Wenzhou during the Southern Song Dynasty. During this period, xiwen performances were very popular inWenzhou and literary societies were common. The Jiushan Club,a professional group for script writing, was also founded. Theclub was very active. For instance, when a monk named Zu Jie inWenzhou did all kinds of evil things under the asylum of local officials, the club members immediately compiled a xiwen scriptbased on the monks' misdemeanors and performed it in public. The theater then aroused the anger of the local population, for cingthe government to uphold justice and punish the evil monk.
