Mr. Wang Guowei in the "Opera from Song and Yuan Dynasty," have been addressed: "spread the ancient theater today, who for the most ancient gold time of yuan. ... ... "China's first commercial theater– Gou Lan was found in the Song Dynasty. In the ancient history of the theater, it has the appearance of the significance of cross-time, marking the Chinese drama has developed to a mature stage, into the commercial market.Unfortunately, we did not find the image of the genetic data of the vast theater in ancient Chinese history so far. Chinese ancient buildings was made by wood, easily rot away, it is almost impossible to find a theatre kept from Song dynasty.The research of the history of Ancient Chinese Theatre has been in an awkward position. Opera scholars focus on performance and aesthetics of opera, while the construction industry and scholars seem to have found no ancient Chinese Theatre - a unique architectural form in the entire history of Chinese ancient building which occupies an important position.The first people who focas on ancient theater, Mr. Zhou Yibai wrote a book "History of the Chinese theater," although we recognized it as the history of ancient Chinese Theater Foundation work, but the book on the evolution of the structure and form of theater that only a small amount of discussion. The study of ancient theater scholar Mr. Liao Ben in "History of Ancient Chinese Theater" expressing such a feeling, "I deeply feel that can not wait, on one hand with the progress of the times we have tolerated this research in the field of defects continue to exist, on the other hand as a preservation of ancient architecture, the later research of the time, can see the less physical information, the more it difficult to study. "The past 20 years, the research on the works of ancient Chinese theater was actived, but most still remain in the study from text to text. Out of the door, into the field, fieldwork, close proximity to those who stage, they have not gone in before finishing it, describe, protect down, this is still very difficult.In the opening preamble of Mr. Liao Ben's book "History of Ancient Chinese Theater",he wrote: "Chinese opera, as the world's unique style of theater, one of the launch of its modern research has lagged behind Europin and Japanese play. In this century, although its historical and aesthetic significance of the research has reached a certain degree, but in some studies, there are still weak, for example: the evolution of the Chinese theater styles and changes, is still not have a deep subject of a hit. " The focus of this paper is to understand, examine the basis of existing resources, another step, to explore the theater building had disappeared, through study, research, study of existing resources, restoration the performance venues of Song Dynasty- Gou Lan.In Song and Yuan Dynasties did the Gou Lan appears in the history of Chinese opera landmark, it marks the true shape of Chinese opera. Sub-studio performances per opera, Opera has become the most popular art form, which is further matured after the Chinese opera has laid a solid foundation.Recovery Gou Lan to fill the missing link on the Chinese traditional culture is a hard work, but is extremely important, positive, far-reaching significance for the future generations. |
