徐复祚“本色当行”论

On Xu Fuzuo's Theory of "Natural Color" and "Adeptness"

徐复祚"本色当行"论可分为"本色"论和"当行"论。"本色"论主要探讨戏曲语言风格,主张"本色"的戏曲语言应该质朴自然、通俗含蓄,在"雅俗"之间;"当行"论主要探讨戏曲音律,强调在文辞和音律之间应当首重音律,作曲用韵须遵循《中原音韵》。

Xu Fuzuo＇ s theory of ＂natural color＂ and ＂adeptness＂ can be divided into ＂natural color＂ theory and ＂adeptness＂ theory. ＂Natural color＂ theory emphasizes the linguistic features of traditional Chinese dramas and operas. It advocates that the language should be natural and common with an appropriate standard. ＂Adeptness＂ focuses the tune, which emphasizes on the tune compared with language. It also requires the rhymes used in composition should follow Phonology in Central China.
