叶圣陶先生热爱戏曲,他对话剧、平剧与昆曲的态度则截然不同,其发表于《太白》杂志上的《昆曲》一文就显示了这种微妙的感情差异。他对以吴梅为代表的学者在大学讲堂上传唱昆曲的授课形式并不理解,这都是他受到新文化运动及其“大众语运动”影响的结果。 Mr. Ye Shengtao loves drama, and his dialogues, drama and Kunqu opera are totally different in attitude. His “Kunqu” article, published in Taibai magazine, shows such subtle emotional differences. He did not understand the form of lecturing Kunqu Opera in the lecture hall of the university, which is represented by Wu Mei, which is the result of his influence by the New Culture Movement and its Popular Language Movement.
