Features: This book selects ten influential playwrights nationwide, observing their distinct creative styles and unique artistic expressions. Style is a symbol of mature playwrights, and the diversity of their creative styles represents the symbol of the group of mature playwrights, as well as a significant manifestation of the development and prosperity of Chinese opera in the new era. The process of opera creation is one where playwrights nurture their works with life experiences and emotional cultivation. In the chapter on the practical realization of opera creation, the author discusses how opera works evolve from life to art, and how they achieve the "poeticization" of history and life through the playwrights' creative experiences. In the process of opera creation, by seeking aesthetic ideals, aesthetic value is depicted as the image of meaningful choices and aesthetic perception, elaborating on the aesthetic expression of opera creation in the new era. When examining the causes of opera creation in the new era, some sections adopt the method of discussing specific regional examples, which helps to dissect the issue and serve as a microcosm of the broader picture. Especially in the chapter on the historical new exploration of opera creation in the new era, the book provides systematic, pioneering, and highly valuable discussions and theoretical summaries on revolutionary historical themes, ethnic minority opera creation, and children's opera creation, making it one of the key chapters of the book.
