民国戏曲的编撰,既源自曲家的凭空杜撰,又根植于相关的事实资料。由民国戏曲序跋可知,戏曲题材来源于传说诗文、史籍载志、政治时事及社会生活四类。曲家在编撰戏曲过程中,往往将原始材料予以有效的戏曲化处理。然而,曲家往往增益某些虚构之情节,使戏曲题材的运用并非完全遵从实录之原则。实际上,该处理事实题材的普遍方式是曲家以期更好地使戏曲达至传世或教世之目的。

The compiling of opera in Republican period derived from dramatics＇ imagination, and was planted in relevant factual information as well. Viewed from opera preface and postscript in Republican period, we find that the theme originated from poetry and poses, historical records, political events, and social life. In the course of compiling drama, dramatist often disposed the original material in an effective and dramatization way. However, dramatist also often added some fietive plotting which makes that the adaptation of theatre theme not completely follows the principle of actual record. In fact, this is a universal means of disposing theme to better teach the audiences.
