Abstract
The ＜
＞National Project of Excellent Stage Art＜
＞ was a grand cultural competition sponsored jointly by the Chinese Ministry of Culture and Ministry of Finance in 2002. The government endowed considerable fund to the project, making it a center of attention by the entire society. The notion of jingpin becomes the highest guideline of current aesthetics. This article examines three opera works selected to the project, The Heyday of Zhenguan, Herbalist Zhang, and Mr. Dong and Ms. Li. I compare and analyze various versions of the same play. In the light of this competition-entering phenomenon, I intend to offer my own observations in reading and watching Chinese traditional opera works in the last 10 years. With that perspective in mind, I will also discuss the phenomena of appointing stage plays directors and presenting extravagant production. Then I will remark observations on the aesthetic inclination of opera script composition in China. The main point of discussion for The Heyday of Zhenguan is placed on the ＜
＞magnitude＜
＞ of its playwright, direction, and choreography. For Herbalist Zhang I intend to explore the mutual adaptation between modern plays and Peking opera, and to tell the difference between sarcasm and absurdity. Through comparing the old and new versions of Mr. Dong and Ms. Li, I demonstrate the issue of boundary between reality and imagination.
