Features: The long history of China has given birth to numerous classic theatrical works that are widely cherished. Due to their inherent historical elements, these plays not only fulfill people's appreciation for drama but also play a role in popularizing historical knowledge to some extent. However, alongside reasonable artistic embellishment, phenomena such as attaching spurious meanings, misinterpretations, and distortions of history are also quite common. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify and distinguish between historical records and dramatic plots to better promote the development of theater and the dissemination of historical culture. The purpose of this book lies precisely in this. Classic masterpieces of Chinese theater, anecdotes from the opera world—all discussed in detail; historical records, the threads of stories, meticulously examined. History and drama, truth and illusion, presented to you one by one.
