The Beginning of the Chinese Modern Theater:Performance and Observation of "The New Stage" in Shanghai(1908~1927) / 華燈初上:上海新舞臺(1908~1927)的表演與觀看

碩士 / 國立暨南國際大學 / 中國語文學系 / 97 / Founded in October of the 34th year of Emperor Guangxu of Qing Dynasty (AD 1908), the New Stage in Shanghai was the first new-style theater managed by Chinese. After the explosion of the Revolution of 1911, an old age went into history. Lying in Shanghai and being in the new age, the New Stage not merely experiences the decadence of the end of the century, furthermore, it participates the reforming tide at that time.
This thesis is divided into three parts. First, the founding of the New Stage is because Beijing operas playing in teahouse become popular in Shanghai during the years of Emperor Tongzhi of Qing Dynasty. This part chiefly discusses the policy of the nineteen-year management of the New Stage, and the actors, scripts, and events of the stage are also covered. Moreover, the innovations and influences brought by the New Stage to Shanghai theatrical circles are particularly concerned. Second, the introduction of lighting sets brings the new development of opera, including the abundant uses of device and setting, and the new stage image presented by fitting costume of this period into traditional operas. Finally, the interaction between the theater and the age is observed. Through the media, such as advertisements of newspapers, pictorial newspapers, and drama commentary, the New Stage is connected with the more immense cultural field. Vacillating between enlightenment and commerce, the New Stage reflects faithfully the actual situation which the theatrical circles are facing. This, however, brings the new way for the environment and culture of theater.
