Abstract:
Zheng Zhenduo was one of the literary historians who blazed a trail in the area of ancient drama studies in the 20th century. Although he did not focus on the drama history in his works, Mr. Zheng was the first to examine and compose a coarse-grained picture of the general history of drama. His accounts of drama history are mainly found in his works like Wen-xue Da-gang文学大纲(An Outline of Literature)and Cha-tu-ben Zhong-guo Wen-xue-shi插图本中国文学史(An Illustrated History of Chinese Literature). In these two works, Zheng gives a rather comprehensive and in-depth examination and account of the origin, formation, development, prosperity and decline of Chinese ancient dramas, thus presenting an outline of the evolution of drama in ancient China. His original and classical historical account is well in line with the development of drama creation in ancient China and has thus contributed tremendously to the studies on ancient Chinese dramas.
