Features: This textbook, "Theatre Playwriting Methodology," was written in response to the needs of theatre writing courses and is a skill-training-oriented professional textbook. The content is arranged in an order that progresses from simple to complex, from parts to the whole, and from single skills to comprehensive application. In terms of theory, it is limited to the scope related to playwriting techniques, definitions, principles, and the definition and interpretation of methods. The skills are designed based on the general needs of beginners. This new type of art education, which is implemented systematically by schools, differs from the traditional master-disciple teaching method. It originated in the late Qing Dynasty with the establishment of modern schools in China. After the Republic of China was established, the National Beijing Art College, founded in 1918, can be considered a milestone in the development of professional art education in China. By 1927, when the National Art Academy was established in Hangzhou and the National Conservatory of Music in Shanghai in 1928, China's professional art education began to take shape. However, in the first half of the 20th century, China's professional art education continued to face difficult challenges.
