So far,Bao Chaozan has written more than 40 works,such as The Moon on the Spring River,The Rain on the Tongjiang River,Lihua’s Love,The Lotus Lake and so on.Those works include not only romantic Shaoxing operas in ancient costumes but also folk custom operas and modern operas about rural life.They take women as the leading roles,and create such distinctive characters as Lihua,Tonghua,Liu Mingyue,Yuelian,Qiuhua,Zhang Yuniang etc.,who have the beauty of tolerance,maternity and fortitude.These female images shaped by Bao Chaozan in the Shaoxing opera inherit the traditional virtues of kindness and fraternity of the Chinese nation,and reflect the author’s conscious concern about women’s living conditions.Adhering to the idea of writing plays for the common people in script creation,Bao Chaozan instills a strong folk taste into his“Folk Dramas”,which win the favor of the common people.
