“剧种”是一个现代戏曲学科的概念,在古代有“声腔”这样一个概念,而没有“剧种”这样一个概念。“剧种”这样一个概念是在新中国成立以后才广泛使用的。20世纪50年代在戏班登记时,登记表中设了“剧种”这样一个栏目,于是各地戏班给自己演唱的戏曲起名为“某某剧”。在这之前,全国各地的戏班,叫“某某腔”、“某某班”。但在民国年间,已经有了类似我们今天“剧种”的概念。比如,“豫剧”的概念是由一个名为王培义的先生在1924年12月15日至1925年3月16日的《京报副刊·戏剧周刊》上发表的一篇长文 “Drama ” is a concept of modern drama discipline. In ancient times, there was such a concept of “sound cavity ”, and there was no such concept as “drama ”. One such concept of “drama” was widely used after the founding of New China. In the 1950s when the troupe was enrolled in the troupe, the registration form set up a section entitled “Drama”, so that the troupe singing the song “ Prior to this, theatrical troupes across the country called ”a certain cavity “, ”a certain class “. However, during the period of the Republic of China, there was already a concept similar to ours today. For example, the notion of ”opera" is a long article published by a man named Wang Peiyi in the Beijing Newspaper Supplement · Drama Weekly from December 15, 1924 to March 16, 1925
