Study On Guildhall Dramatics

Guildhall is a kind of townsman organization established away from hometown, which began to appear in early Ming Dynasty and became popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The purpose of Guildhall is to serve townsmen and to provide them activity space. Guildhall took the fixed building as the symbol, of which the most basic characteristics is hometown complex and allopatry establishment. For quite a long period, Guildhall had been an important position for drama performance, because of the mutual interaction between Guildhall characteristics and era background:to condense members, to promote hometown feeling, to meet townsman watching drama, Guildhall general possessed better dramatics facilities, which is suitable for group conviviality dramatics; While the external environment, such as the forbidden policy about dramatics, push large audiences to Guildhall, especially gentries class. As Guildhall joint the two poles of birthplace and exile, Guildhall dramatics propagated hometown culture, but also play important role in establishing and processing external kinds of relationships. Therefore, Guildhall dramatics has its own distinctive features, which distinguishes Guildhall dramatics from other position dramatics.Guildhall needed, help and gave support to hometown drama, and provided the convenient channel for different hometown drama being allopatrically propagated, and effectively ensured the long-term performance. The opening of Guildhall dramatics to local people affected their appreciation habit, and cultivated batch after batch new hometown drama audiences, which made hometown drama take root away from hometown. In addition, these particular audiences further put forward higher requirement, which made Guildhall dramatics remain higher level in the dramatic world at that time. These characteristics of Guildhall dramatics accelerated the dramas propagation, exert profound impact on the tune spreading, on the type of drama formation, and the local dramatic world. The dissertation expounds and proves Guildhall dramatics, by taking "Guildhall dramatics and the development and spreading of Yi yang tune, Guildhall dramatics and the formation of Sichuan Opera, the influence of Guildhall dramatics on Beijing dramatic world" as case study.When discussing the reason that Yi yang tune could go out Jiangxi, rush toward the whole country, and might take root to grow, it must be mentioned JiangXi person and their Guildhall. JiangXi Guildhall is the important position where Yi yang tune is initially performed away from hometown. By these positions, hometown troupe continuously took outward steps. It is also by the position that allopatry audiences just know, understand, and accept Yi yang tune. During Yi yang tune rooting, germinating, growing throughout, JiangXi Guildhall, this stable stage, played the remarkable role.The great role, which Guildhall dramatics played on the formation and propagation of SiChuan opera, should not be ignored and obliterated. We can say that, without so much immigration Guildhall, it is impossible for so much allopatry tune come in a continuous stream. And even if there is several kind of allopatry tunes arrived in SiChuan, no Guildhall provided the stable sites and the regular occasions for dramatics, those tunes might be just passer-by in haste, let alone taking root, developing and expanding. In the train of immigrants scale increasing, different kinds of drama culture continuously flowed into SiChuan. These culture not only competed mutually, but also merged mutually, which made adequate preparation for the formation of SiChuan Opera. Following that, Guildhall in return became the important position for SiChuan Opera propagating.Since Emperor Qianlong Period, the long-term game between Huabu Luan and Yabu Kunqu made the fundamental change in the Beijing dramatic world. That is, some Luan tunes, such as Bangzi and PiHuang, successively become the prevalence tune in the Beijing dramatic world, while Kunqu gradually exited. Literati disdained to create Luan, as a result, theatrical actors became drama creative subjects, obscene climate and anaemic content become the stubborn illness of the dramatic world. Guildhall dramatics produced a profound influence on Beijing dramatic world, by retaining and continuing Kunqu, encouraging and supporting Bangzi and PiHuang, purifying obscenely performance climate, improving the drama style.
