Contemporary Xiqu(traditional Chinese opera)art has undergone extensive and profound changes in the subject matter,stage style,and dissemination methods of its plays.To construct a discursive system for contemporary Xiqu criticism,it is necessary to base it on"creative transformation"and"innovative development"under the premise of"Two Combinations",based on the historical development and contemporary situation of Xiqu art,grasp the relationship between new Xiqu forms and old traditions in the development of the times,and strive to adhere to the principles of history and dynamics.On the basis of the three paths of integration,practice,and folk culture,it is necessary to try four methods:the combination of commonality and individuality,the combination of text and stage,the combination of internal criticism and external criticism,and interdisciplinary approaches.
