Text

Xiong, Foxi. Dan chun zhu yi. In : Foxi lun ju. (Beijing : Pu she, 1928). [On drama].
Er schreibt : "We need to learn how to be economical in the theatre business. First, the play has to be shortened. Second, we should avoid frequent scene changes. Third, the number of characters should be minimized. The reason that Shakespeare's plays are not suitable for our stage is not because the themes are outdated, but because these plays involve frequent scene changes and come with a long list of dramatic persons."
