Features: The "Collection of School Play Scripts of China" is a key book publishing project under the 11th Five-Year Plan of the National Development Plan, encompassing representative play scripts of various Peking Opera schools. It is the most comprehensive collection of Peking Opera scripts since the founding of the People's Republic of China, featuring the widest range of schools, the most numerous scripts, and the most detailed arrangements. Many of the scripts included have never been published before. The compilers primarily consist of successors to the schools, renowned amateurs, Peking Opera scholars, and teaching elites from schools, forming a strong team. The scripts are recorded in their entirety, complete with lyrics, musical scores, percussion patterns, physical movements, and costumes. This collection includes the representative works of Ma Lianliang, such as "Fishing and Killing the Home," "Linked Pearl," "Crimson Gown," "Judging the Head and Piercing the Soup," and "Killing Yan Gao." This book adopts a full-script recording method (including costumes, lyrics, musical scores, percussion patterns, and movement scores), documenting the performances of Ma Lianliang's "Fishing and Killing the Home," "Linked Pearl," "Crimson Gown," "Judging the Head and Piercing the Soup," and "Killing Yan Gao."
