Women’s view of drama is an important aspect of women’s participation in drama activities.A series of social and cultural phenomena related to women’s view of drama activities belong to the scope of this paper.The phenomenon of women’s view of drama not only increases the female perspective of opera reception,but also enriches the opera perspective of ancient women’s studies.It is a gender concern in the field of opera,as well as the opera dimension in gender studies.It has dual important significance and value.Who is the focus of the study of women’s view of drama in Qing Dynasty? Where can I see it? How do you see it? What are you look at? Can you watch it? What will happen after reading it? What do people think of the phenomenon of women watching dramas? And a series of questions.On the basis of collecting and sorting out a large number of documents and historical materials,cultural relics and folk oral historical materials related to the phenomenon of women’s watching dramas,and comprehensively using research methods and theories such as drama,feminism,history,folklore,sociology and Philology,this paper analyzes the types of female audiences and their demands for watching dramas,places and facilities for watching dramas,customs of watching dramas,contents of watching dramas,and views of women from all walks of life in the Qing Dynasty In terms of the attitude of the play,a systematic analysis and research are made.In the first chapter,from the perspective of opera audience,the female audience in Qing Dynasty is divided into palace,official,civilian,brothel and other female types,and the characteristics of each type of female audience and its influence on the development of opera are discussed.Based on the living conditions,social and family roles and actual needs of women in Qing Dynasty,this paper discusses the needs of women’s drama viewing,such as communication,entertainment,star chasing,clothing display,etc.It is believed that the entertainment and communication needs are the general needs of women ’s watching dramas,and the behavior of women’ s watching dramas with beautiful clothes and fancy clothes has a special gender meaning under the social system of men ’s superiority and women’ s inferiority in ancient times.It is an effective way for women to obtain more social resources.The female audience’s pursuit of actors of different genders has special cultural significance.It is a variety of needs of watching drama that contributed to the popularity of watching drama for women in the Qing Dynasty.The second chapter focuses on where to look,and discusses the theatre and facilities of women’s view in Qing Dynasty.When women and men watch together,they share the same theater space.The special feature is that all kinds of theatres are equipped with special facilities for women to watch plays.In particular,the buildings,stands,women’s platforms,women’s factories and women’s pavilions in the temple theater are well preserved.The reason for the establishment of the facilities for women’s watching plays is not only the result of the enhancement of theatre and the emphasis on women’s watching plays,but also the consideration of strict prevention of men and women,taking care of women and seeking interests.The remains of the special women’s family members’ theatre in Lianghu village in Gaoping City provide a material basis for us to explore the phenomenon of women’s curtain watching drama in Ming and Qing Dynasties and the historical changes of theatre.In the late Qing Dynasty,as a special space for women to watch plays,nunnery shows the characteristics of being influenced by the belief of Goddess and the worship of reproduction.In the third chapter,around how to look at it,it discusses the fixed drama,point drama,watch drama,reward and taboo custom of women’s watching drama in Qing Dynasty.It is believed that the custom of female drama viewing is deeply influenced by the traditional ethics and gender system,and each link is different from that of male drama viewing.Especially,the custom of female drama viewing is distinct.The taboo of female drama viewing is the combination of the double standards of female taboo and opera taboo,which is rooted in the common "misogyny complex" caused by the special physiological characteristics of women ”And the concept of "female impurity".The discovery of the age inscription of taboo women’s watching drama in Luyuan village,Xin’an,Henan Province,and the regulation of taboo women’s watching drama in the daytime between 15-50 years old can be seen that it is obviously influenced by the taboos of women’s menstruation and childbearing.The fourth chapter focuses on what to see,and discusses the content of women’s view of drama.Women’s educational level,personal background,aesthetic taste and other differences determine that there are great differences in the content of female drama,but as the same gender group,there are great universality in the content of drama.In addition,the recording of the contents of women’s watching plays in the literature shows various imbalances based on gender and class differences.The fifth chapter discusses the attitudes of all walks of life towards women’s dramas,which can be roughly divided into four attitudes: opposition and exclusion,support and approval,hesitation and contradiction,neutrality and objectivity.This paper makes a comprehensive analysis of the identity,purpose,social factors and individual factors of various groups of people with different attitudes.It is believed that those who hold an anti attitude mostly start from the purpose of maintaining weathering,while those who hold an agreement attitude mostly come from the consideration of some enlightened people’s doting on their wives and daughters and their filial piety.Those who hold a hesitant attitude are mostly related to their own special social identity,while those who come to China from foreign countries They are objective and neutral to women.
