梁启超与20世纪初年中国戏剧变革

Liang Qi-chao and the Improvement of Chinese Opera in the early 20th Century

梁启超引领了20世纪初年中国启蒙思潮,对近代戏曲改良在推进策略、思想内容及艺术形式诸方面影响深远。传统戏曲分流和改良定位逐步明晰,除了政治家思想家呼吁的新民理想,更本质在于戏曲观念和形态体制上的深刻改变。戏曲戏剧化与话剧的戏曲化构成了中国近代戏剧最基本特征,二者能否找到平衡点决定了中国戏剧的未来走向。

Liang Qi- chao,who led the Chinese Enlightenment in the early 20th century,had a far- reaching influence on promoting the strategy,ideological content and artistic form of the modern opera. In addition to the Ideal of Updating Chinese Nations which statesmen and thinkers called for,the traditional opera shunt and the position of improvement were becoming gradually clear,which were embodied on the changes on the concepts and forms of traditional Chinese opera. The most basic characteristic of Chinese modern drama is constituted by opera dramatization and drama theatricality. Whether the two can find the balance or not will determine the future of Chinese drama.
