乡村和城市:楚剧戏班的形成与早期发展

Country and City:The Formation and Early Development of Chu Opera Troupe

楚剧早期的戏班形成于乡村,但乡村落后的经济以及简单的生活环境,无法为楚剧戏班的进一步发展提供必要的物质基础。直到清末进入汉口之后,得益于商业的繁荣、人口的激增以及公共空间茶馆的拓展,楚剧戏班在组织结构上得以规范,在分配制度上趋于合理,名班、名角在激烈的竞争中脱颖而出,代表了楚剧在这一时期的发展高峰。

The early Chu opera troupe formed in the country. But the backward economy and the simple living environment in rural areas could not provide the necessary material basis for the further development of Chu opera troupe. Since the Chu opera troupe entered the Hankou at the end of the Qing Dynasty,due to the commercial prosperity,population explosion and the expansion of public teahouses,Chu opera troupe has had a normative structure of organization,more reasonable distribution system,and class names and star talents have stood out in the fierce competition. Therefore,during this period,all of these have shown the development peak of Chu opera.
