On The Influence Of Female Actors On The System And Form Of Chinese Classical Opera

Nowadays,the research on the history of Chinese drama has been basically detailed,but most of the achievements are basically about the development process of the drama itself,especially the process of the drama form,which has been paid much attention by many scholars,but there was less attention about the actors,especially the female actors.This paper combines the appearance of female actors in the history of Chinese drama with the development of itself,and finds that the transformation of Chinese opera form has been greatly influenced by the female actors,especially from the northern drama to the southern drama and the later ones.At first,this article takes ye yuhua's point of view that the northern drama is singing for women as the starting point.Find the problem through the previous disputes,and sort out the factual discussion of the existence of female actors in ancient Chinese song and dance performances,song and dance performances and traditional Chinese opera performances.Then in the second chapter,the author discusses the causes and presentation forms of female actors.The last three parts are the emphases of this article,and are about the influence of women on the presentation system and form of traditional Chinese opera.Obviously,from the northern song dynasty drama to the southern song dynasty drama to the yuan dynasty zaj and its subsequent opera performances,its performance form,text form and even the composition of the troupe have greatly changed.The original performance form of northern zaju is gagging,and most of the people who play it are men.when it comes to southern zaju,there is a part of " singing",and the performers begin to appear women.Since then,women have joined in the performance of zaju,and the text form of zaju has changed accordingly,and there are many themes such as joys and sorrows,love and marriage in the story.Of course,it is not only the opera text and singing style that has changed,but also the personnel composition of the troupe has changed because of the appearance of women.in the past,acrobatic-based performance style led to the rare existence of women in the troupe,and theparticipation of women in the drama directly led to the change of the gender composition of the troupe,even the troupe purely for women.Secondly,the number of theatrical troupes has also changed from at least five to at least twelve in the past.The appearance of female actors has a great influence on the changes whether from the performance mode,text form or the composition of theatrical troupes.if we define the real operas as defined by Mr.Wang Guowei,then this period of song and yuan dynasties is the key period for the maturity of Chinese classical operas.at this time,the appearance of female actors is undoubtedly closely related to the development of Chinese drama.
