Features: This "Teaching Guide to Dramatic Writing," written in response to the needs of the dramatic writing course, is a skill-training-oriented professional textbook. The content is arranged in a sequence of training from simple to complex, from to overall, and from single skills to comprehensive application. In terms of theory, it is limited to the scope related to dramatic writing techniques, definitions, principles, and the clarification and interpretation of methods; in terms of skills, it is designed according to the general needs of beginners. This new-style art education, implemented through systematic school instruction, differs from the traditional master-apprentice teaching model. It originated in the late Qing Dynasty with the establishment of new-style schools. The National Art School of Beijing, founded in 1918 during the Republic of China period, can be regarded as a milestone in the development of China's professional art education. By 1927, with the establishment of the National Art Academy 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 remained in a state of difficult development.
