南戏留存剧目检讨

A Review on Retained Repertoire of Nanxi (Southern Drama)

南戏于北宋末诞生,在民间盛行不衰。元末上层文人措手南戏,明中叶被雅化的南戏进入上层社会称为传奇,至此南戏于雅、俗两途并行。晚清花部繁兴,南戏进入地方戏。留存于诸地方戏中的南戏剧目出现折数与剧情递减、剧中主角转移、娱人特性增强、多种南戏关目情节相揉合等特征。

Nanxi(Southern Drama) came into being at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. It has been prevailing in folk from then on. The literati from the upper-class in the later Yuan Dynasty took interest in Nanxi, then the refined Nanxi stepped into the upper class society in the middle of the Ming Dynasty which was something like legend. So far, Nanxi is developed between the elegant and popular circles. Until the Late Qing Dynasty with local operas prosperous, Nanxi gradually entered into the local operas. However, the number of Nanxi repertoires retained in all local operas appearing reduced and decreased progressively. Meanwhile many features like the protagonist transferred, reinforced amusement facts and combined plots produced with each passing day.
