摘要
五四新文化运动蓬勃兴起之际,南通也掀起了一场戏剧改革的热潮。在张謇和欧阳予倩的合作下,南通创办了在中国戏剧教育史上具有重要地位的戏剧学校伶工学社,对剧场管理制度进行了大刀阔斧的改革,同时也为南通现代话剧运动奠定了基础。后来由于张謇与欧阳予倩思想上的距离,终于中途而废。但他们在早年的南通有过美好的合作,并且为南通乃至中国的戏剧改革事业作出了巨大的贡献,产生了深远的影响。
With the rise of The May Fourth New Cultural Movement there was also a upsurge of opera reform in Nantong. Under the co-operation of Zhang Jian and Ouyang Yuqian the Opera School was set up in Nantong which played an important role in the history of Chinese opera education. They had big reform to the theatrical management system and laid the base for the Nantong modern drama movement. But because of the discrepancy between Zhang's and Ouyang's thoughts the reform didn't last long. As the representatives of Nantong opera reform Zhang Jian and Ouyang Yuqian had good cooperation at the early stage and made a lot of contributions to Nantong opera reform and even to Chinese opera reform. We may have different comments towards them but we should not deny the achievements they each made.
