关于“样板戏”出台的历史考察

Historical Review of Appearance of Model Opera

新中国成立后,毛泽东很重视戏曲的政治和社会功能,希望通过传统艺术形式反映现代生活,提倡演现代戏。戏曲界积极响应毛泽东的号召,掀起上演现代戏的高潮。江青开始插手现代戏,以全国京剧现代戏观摩大会上涌现出的大批优秀剧目为基础,用"左"的文艺理论进行加工、删改,并逐渐得到官方认可,正式定名为"革命样板戏"。于是,"样板戏"就进入了人们的视野。

After the foundation of the Peoples＇ Republic of China, Mao Zedong attaches great importance to the political and social functions of the drama. He hopes that the traditional artistic form can reflect the aspects of the modem life. So he advocates the development of the modem drama. The artists in the field of drama react positively to his summon. And the development of the modem drama reaches a new level. Mao Zedong＇ s wife Jiang Qing starts to interfere in the modem drama. Based on the large quantities of outstanding plays appear on the celebration of the national Peking opera, Jiang Qing uses the literature theory of ＂the Left＂ to adapt and bowdlerizes them and gradually obtains the official approval, and the operas are officially named ＂The Revolutionary Model Opera＂. Thereupon, ＂The Model Operas＂ come into people＇s eyes.
