Introduction

Chinese drama includes Chinese traditional opera and modern spoken drama. The former, Chinese traditional drama, together with ancient Greek tragedy & comedy, and Indian Sanskrit drams, was regarded as one of three ancient dramas. The latter, modern spoken drama, was introduced to China from the West in 20th Century. This book uses simple languages to depict the development process of these two forms of Chinese drama. Focused on the representative theatre genres and works of Chinese drama, this book also introduces its artistic features and cultural value, and the current development of these two forms.
