中国民族戏曲是宋元时期,在民间鼓书、话本的基础上发展起来的,所以,它从诞生起,就带上了话本的某些特点和表现优势。最近,我看了现存最古老的一个戏曲本子、南宋时代的《张协状元》的复古本演出,写的是穷书生张协中了状元忘了恩妻的故事。当时的戏,在展示故事时,先用说书的形式叙说,可以表演的段落就由几个角儿演示,不宜演了就再 Chinese nationality drama was developed during the Song and Yuan dynasties on the basis of folk drum books and calligraphies. Therefore, it has brought some characteristics and performance advantages of the script from its birth. Recently, I read the oldest extant drama script, the retro performance of “Zhang Xie Zhuanyuan” in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the story of the poor scholar Zhang Xie who wrote the unforgiving wife. At that time, when the story was displayed, it was narrated in the form of a storyteller. The passages that could be performed were demonstrated by a few horns.
