New Forms of Opera and the Establishment of Its Textual System in the Early Period of New China:Reform Practice of Opera from Yan'an to Heilongjiang
Chinese opera began to evolve from a classical to a modem nature in 1902,during which it went through several changes of form.In the 1940s,after more than 20 years of practice,a new form was established in the 1960s,which is the form of opera marked by the Peking Opera as the"Model Opera".Although this form did not begin with Peking Opera,Peking Opera drew on various forms of expression experienced in the process of the creation of various types of operas at that time and even earlier,so that it was formed in a specific historical era with determination of the aesthetic style.This choice,due to the needs of political move-ment,was pushed to play the role of weapon and used as a model;thus,its form will be set together with the dependent content,both of which then become a model.
