Secondly, the limit of status and profession of writers to drama is not absolute.

Notes of drama gave some information on drama study, yet the data in it is not enough to particular academic range.According to the view implied in Notes of drama, on funny historical drama, writer may conceive freely. While on solemn historical drama, writer must follow these two laws: the leading character should use his original name recorded in history books, and defects cannot be added to him. This adaptive technique is of great importance among Chinese and foreign historical drama adoptive theories. It comes from Jiaoxun's drama functional viewpoint.
