Kunqu

昆曲是中国传统戏曲中最古老的剧种之一,被称为百花园中的一朵“兰花”。昆曲发源于14世纪中国的苏州昆山,后经魏良辅等人的改良而走向全国,自明代中叶独领中国剧坛近300年。昆曲在2001年被联合国教科文组织列为“人类口述和非物质遗产代表作”。

Kunqu,also known as Kunju,Kun Opera or Kunqu Opera,is one of the oldest extant(现存的) forms of Chinese opera.It evolved① from the Kunshan melody,and dominated(支配) Chinese theatre from the 16th to the 18th centuries.Kunqu originated② in the Wu cultural area.

Kunqu boasts a 600-year history and is known as the “teacher” or “mother” of a hundred operas,because of its influence③ on other Chinese theatre forms,including Peking Opera.It appeared in the second Golden Era of Chinese drama,but by the early twentieth century it had nearly disappeared④.

One of the major literary forms of the Ming and Qing dynasties was Chuanqi drama,originating from the South.Chuanqi,an old form of dramatic⑤ opera,originated from the Nanxi in late 14th century before the Kunqu opera arose.However,in late 16 century,Kunqu opera started to dominate large part of Chinese drama.Plays that continue to be famous today,including The Peony Pavilion and The Peach Blossom Fan,were originally written for the Kunqu stage.In addition,many classical Chinese novels and stories,such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms,Water Margin and Journey to the West were adapted very early into dramatic pieces. 

Today,Kunqu is performed professionally in seven Mainland Chinese cities:Beijing,Shanghai,Suzhou,Nanjing,Chenzhou,Yongjia County/Wenzhou and Hangzhou,as well as in Taipei.Non-professional opera societies are active in many other cities in China and abroad,and opera companies occasionally⑥ tour.

Kunqu was listed as one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2001.Its melody or tune is one of the Four Great Characteristic Melodies in Chinese Opera.

①evolve v.进化

②originate v.起源于

③influence n.影响

④disappear v.消失

⑤dramatic adj.戏剧的

⑥occasionally adv.偶尔

1.How does the author support his idea that Kunqu Opera started to dominate large part of Chinese drama in late 16th century?

2.Have you ever seen any Peking Opera? What do you think of it?
