在清代及民国所修甘肃宁夏地方志中,保留了一些记述甘宁地区民间演剧情况的材料。这些材料不多,但弥足珍贵,对于研究甘宁风俗民情与戏剧活动的关系,考察民间剧种在甘肃宁夏的流播,探究中国民间戏剧演出史与剧场史,都具有重要的意义。因此,把它们辑录出来,加以考释,以求教于戏剧学及方志学界的同仁。 In the local records of Gansu and Ningxia in the Qing Dynasty and in the Republic of China, some materials describing the folk performances in Gansu and Ningxia were retained. These materials are small but precious. They are of great significance for studying the relationship between folk customs and drama activities in Gansu, investigating the spread of folk operas in Ningxia, Gansu, and exploring the history and the theater of Chinese folk operas. Therefore, they are compiled out, to test, in order to learn in drama and dialect industry colleagues.
