明清浙江家族祭会演剧考论

On the Theatre Performances Given by the Associations for Family Sacrificial Ceremony in Zhejiang in the Ming and Qing Dynasties

家族祭会是专门从事祭祀的组织。明清两代,浙江绍兴和宁波等地由家族祭会主持的演剧活动相当活跃,不仅促进了家族的文化建设,同时也有助于昆曲艺术的繁荣。从这一点来看,家族文化和昆曲艺术形成了互相影响、促进的关系。

The associations for family sacrificial ceremony were specialized to organize sacrificial ceremonies. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were frequent theatre performances given by those associations in Shaoxing, Ningbo and other places of Zhejiang Province. Those performances promoted the construction of family culture and contributed to the prosperity of Kunqu. In this sense, the family culture and the art of Kunqu have developed interactively.
