Features: Due to various complex reasons, the theater is currently in decline, and plays have become silent. How to make plays adapt to the development of the times and align with the acceptance psychology and aesthetic tastes of Eastern nations; how to revitalize plays to bring them back to people's lives; and how to guide readers in the current internet era to understand and appreciate plays—these are challenging artistic and cultural tasks. Mr. Tian Benxiang, who once studied under the renowned scholar Li Heliin, specializing in modern Chinese literature, later dedicated himself to the study of theater and achieved remarkable success, gaining fame both domestically and internationally. This collection of essays embodies the insights accumulated over more than twenty years of academic pursuits. Whether in terms of academic concepts or research methodologies, they still retain a fresh and vibrant quality. This undoubtedly provides valuable references for theater creation, theater research, and teaching. Originally included in the "Hui Feng" series of essays, this book has finally come to fruition after several years of refinement.
