支丰宜《曲目新编》及其戏曲学价值考论

On A New Collection of Operas by Zhi Fengyi and Its Value for Traditional Chinese Opera

支丰宜《曲目新编》是清代颇具特色的一部戏曲论著。该书在前人的基础上,对旧有"曲目"进行了增补与注释,使之成为清代晚期较重要的戏曲研究之一。其戏曲学主要表现为以图表形式开创了戏曲编目的新天地、以清代"国朝"剧目为重点的新编指导思想、"频补"内容丰富且皆可据信等几个方面。《曲目新编》也存在着一些值得注意的问题。

Zhi Fengyi’s A New Collection of Operas is a quite distinctive treatise on opera in the Qing Dynasty. Onthe basis of the predecessors, this book supplements and annotates the old “opera”, making it one of the importantopera studies in the late Qing Dynasty. Its value for traditional Chinese opera is mainly manifested in the followingaspects： breaking a new ground of making catalogue in the form of chart, putting forward a new guiding ideology fo-cusing on the dramas of the current dynasty, and supplementing a rich content that can be trusted. Nevertheless,there are also some notable problems in A New Collection of Operas which should be addressed.
