From Full-length Play to Zhezi Opera:Headings of Jingchai Ji
Summary:Zhezi opera(selected scene)is one or several scenes in the legendary form of the Southern opera.Compared with the full-length play,Jingchai Ji,as the head of the four major Southern operas,has played an important role in the history of the entire development of Chinese drama and has been passed down to the present day.There are many versions of Jingchai Ji.From the late Wanli period to the end of Ming Dynasty,it can be seen that Jingchai Ji gradually had a trend of transformation from four-character headings to two-characters heading.By further comparing the headings of Jingchai Ji,representative of Sixty Kinds of Songs in the full-length play,with White Fur,the major winner of Zhezi Operas,we can find that the headings remain unchanged because the point of the play does not change.Besides the change of the point of the play,the change of the headings may also be due to the different pursuits and different endings.Finally,according to the different endings of Zhou Hui and Tuan Yuan,it holds that Tuan Yuan is more suitable for stage performance in terms of drama points,characters and audience psychology.
