"spelling system" in his doctoral thesis "Chinese drama today",but in the period of Guilin cultural city,Jiao Juyin studied and discussed this theory in a more systematic and in-depth way.As a "foreign student",Jiao Juyin made use of the theoretical knowledge of traditional Chinese opera he mastered,from "anti-old drama" to drama learning,and combined theory with practice,which promoted the development of Guilin's old drama reform.During the Guilin period,Jiao Juyin not only had theoretical discussions in the field of old drama reform,but also dabble in the theory of drama.During this

image of Jiao Juyin as a drama director.In the practice of drama directing,Jiao Juyin constantly summarized the practical experience of directing and gradually formed his own theoretical system of directing.The third chapter discusses the relationship between Jiao Juyin and Guilin cultural city.On the one hand,Jiao Juyin contributed outstanding reform theories of GUI opera to Guilin cultural
