清代广州商人群体的演剧活动及其特征探析

Canton Merchant Groups' Drama Activities During the Qing Period

清代商人群体的演剧活动分为行商阶层私家园林、驻省商人会馆的演剧活动以及外来客商的赏剧活动三种类型。其特征:一是外江班流动性演出较多;二是乡土意味浓厚;三是寄生性大。清末以前,广州商人群体的演剧活动尚未从乡土文化特性中独立出来。

Qing dynasty merchants' drama activities in Canton can be divided into three types: those held in private gardens of itinerant merchants,those held in venues of merchant associations and the dramas enjoyed by merchants from the outside. The drama activities of the period were characterized by mobility,strong local flavors and the parasitic nature. Before the end of the late Qing period,drama activities of merchant groups had not yet gone beyond the context of local culture.
