戏曲票房历史考述

On the Historical Development of Piaofang

关于“票房”的来源,一直众说纷纭。我国戏曲史上的票房最早产生于宋,时名“××社”;后昆曲生,衍出“曲社”名;入清,随着京剧艺术的崛起,原供演唱大鼓书的票房遂逐渐转变为以京剧为主,“票房”也随之被确立为戏界指称业余组织机构的通用词汇,并在清末民国得到了最大程度的发展。对戏曲票房展开全面系统的历史考述,既是构建全面、立体、动态的戏曲史研究体系的迫切之需,于戏曲历史的完整书写亦不无补阙之功。

There have always been different opinions on the origin of Piaofang (box office). Piaofang first appeared in Song dynasty, when it was called “xx club”. After the birth of Kun opera, the name of “music club”appeared;In the Qing dynasty, with the rise of Peking Opera, Piaofang became a common term in the field of Chinese opera art. It was developed quickly in the late Qing dynasty and the Republic period. A comprehensive and systematic historical study of Piaofang is not only an urgent need for constructing an overall and dynamic research system, but also an indispensable contribution to the complete writing of the history of Chinese opera.
