A Preliminary Exploration of the Commentary on the Anthography of Chinese Operatic Circle in the Qing Dynasty
The anthography of Chinese operatic cycle is a derivative of the opera in the Qing dynasty,and its cre-ators are mostly literati with scholarly knowledge.The comments on the opera performers in the anthogra-phy include the affirmation of the artistic practice of the performers who have rich stage experience and the aesthetic concept of the Qing dynasty literati's opera appreciation:in the stage performance,it attach-es great importance to the artistic means of experience and expression;the pursuit of the"unity of form and spirit"of the artistic effect and the warning of the overly excessive performances reflect the aesthetic tastes of timelessness,implicity,and dilution;as to the appraisal of the performers,the weight on"col-or"and"art"has changed,whose trend is gradually developing from emphasizing"art"to lighting"col-or".These views are relatively scattered,sensitive and vague,lacking in systematic and theoretical con-sciousness,but they are insightful and have a certain degree of foresight,and are a useful addition to deepen the study of the opera in Qing dynasty.
