In the 1930s,various literary and artistic styles gathered in Shanghai,and the foreign cultures of the East and the West impacted and collided with the local culture of this drama town,and a variety of artistic thoughts surged here.And during this period,the continuous emergence of famous actors,the substantial improvement of performance skills and the emergence of a large number of drama periodicals all make the art of traditional opera show a scene of prosperity,which also confirms that opera plays a more and more important role in public entertainment.Under the background of this era,"Drama Journal" and "Ten days Drama" came into being.As a whole,they are the representatives of criticism-based professional opera periodicals in the Republic of China,and the preservation of national operas is the purpose of their publication.They are mainly based on Beijing Opera,as well as Han Opera,Cantonese Opera,Henan Opera,Qin Opera and other local operas.They always adhere to the principle of independent publication and follow the route of popularization and popularization.How to preserve and improve the old drama is the most important topic discussed in Drama Journal and Ten days Drama.In addition,the magazine also pays equal attention to pictures and text,and publishes a large number of facial photos,famous actress stills,life photos,makeup,and so on,which provide sufficient historical materials for the study of the history and theory of opera in the Republic of China.This thesis takes The Drama Journal and The Ten days Drama as the research object,through the analysis and arrangement of the relevant opera materials preserved by them,so as to understand the development process,creators and content composition of the 116 issues of the publication.And

characters,and the "text" part is probably summarized as drama,artist comments,famous actors and actresses,anecdotes,plays,sheet music,old dramas and so on.Paying attention to actors is a common feature of opera journals in the period of the Republic of China,the Drama Journal and Ten days Drama are no exception,which pays real-time attention to the actors' activities on and off the stage.and published a large number of pictures and articles to carry on the omni-directional propaganda report to the famous actor.While adopting the mode of panoramic observation of drama,Drama Ten and Ten Day Drama also published a large number of articles about the critical nature of drama,involving drama criticism,support,improvement,and so on: in terms of drama criticism,as script criticism is the

often published in journals.And the publication adheres to the scientific concept of drama review,advocating that the actor should be included in the category of drama review,and makes a certain review while exploring the current situation of drama review.In the aspect of supporting the angle,the publication adopts the unique way of supporting the angle with a fair stand and attaching importance to art and morality,and in the case of the upsurge at that time,The Drama Journal and The Ten days Drama still maintain a rational analysis with an objective attitude.In the aspect of the preservation and improvement of the old drama,the publication affirms the preservation value of the old drama while exploring the essential characteristics of the traditional opera,and realizes that the improvement of the old drama is closely related to the preservation of the old drama,thus forming the unique cognition of the improvement in the preservation.And the crisis of the old drama is the main reason for the improvement of the old drama,the publication not only explored this aspect,but also put forward some reasonable suggestions for improvement,in order to make the old drama better preserved.In addition,the article also collates the relevant materials of the local opera in The Drama Journal and The Ten days Drama,and analyzes the situation and problems faced by the local opera at that time,in order to show the wide attention of the publication to the traditional opera.
