Features: This book is compiled based on the lecture notes for university drama courses, teaching the fundamental theories and related knowledge of drama art from three "dimensions": theory, history, and practice. It emphasizes both knowledge, interest, and accessibility while not neglecting important issues at the forefront of the discipline. It strives for as popularized an expression as possible while maintaining academic rigor, systematic characteristics, and linguistic style. At the same time, the author endeavors to integrate the drama art of ancient and modern China and the world into an open and diverse exposition, blending the latest research findings into a simple and straightforward narrative to help readers enhance their humanistic literacy, improve their aesthetic appreciation of drama, and even elevate their level of drama creation.
