Greek drama Drama, a general term for the art of stage performance in which narrative purposes are achieved in the form of speech, movement, dance, music, and puppetry. The literary concept of drama refers to a script, or play, written for dramatic performance.

Drama is performed in a variety of forms, commonly including drama, opera, dance, musicals, puppet shows and so on. Specific Meaning A type of comprehensive art.

There are two meanings: the narrow sense refers exclusively to the ancient Greek tragedy and comedy as a start, first developed in European countries and then widely popular in the world of stage performance forms, the English for drama, China called drama. Broadly speaking, it also includes the traditional stage performance forms of some Eastern countries and nations, such as Chinese opera, Japanese kabuki, Indian classical drama, Korean opera, etc.

The essence of drama is that it is a form of performance that is widely popular in the world, first developed in European countries and then widely popular in the world.

The essence of drama In the 4th century BC, Aristotle has expressed his understanding of the nature of drama in the Poetics. He argued that all art is imitation, and theater is the imitation of human action .

2 centuries later, India's first theoretical work on theater, "Dance" also specified: "Drama is imitation." After the 19th century, the nature of the drama of the seminar appeared a diversity of opinions on the situation, the main audience said, conflict said, said, said, said, said, said, said, said, said, said, said, said, said, said, said, said, said, said, said, said, said, and so on.

Audience: The audience is the necessary condition of the theater, and the essence of the theater. French theater theorist F.

Sassay is a representative of this concept, he asserted : no matter what kind of theater works, are for the audience. "Without an audience, there is no theater", and thus all the organs of the theater must be adapted to the appreciation of the audience.

Conflict: the French theater theorist Brennenbühl as a representative, the end of the 19th century, Brennenbühl pointed out that: the stage is a place for the play of human conscious will, the play of the character's conscious will will encounter obstacles to the main body in order to overcome the obstacles to the struggle, which constitutes a "clash of wills", and the essence of the drama lies in this. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal on your own.

The American theater theorist J.H.

Lawson, on the other hand, categorized the nature of the drama as a "social conflict in which the conscious will plays a role". He argued that since drama deals with social relations, and the conscious will of man must be governed by social necessity, the true dramatic conflict must be a social conflict.

This idea can be expressed in one sentence: "There is no drama without conflict. He compared the novel with the drama, arguing that the novel is the art of "gradual change", while the drama is the art of "radical change" (crisis, also translated as crisis), and that the drama deals with a radical change in human destiny and the environment, which is the essence of the drama. Situation, laboratory said: as early as the 18th century, the French philosopher D.

Sartre called his plays "situation plays", and described the object of drama as the behavior of human choices in a situation.B.

Brecht, on the other hand, regarded the drama as a kind of scientific method, and argued that: the theater is a laboratory for testing the behavior of human beings in a particular situation. laboratory of behavior in a given situation. This notion also defines the nature of theater from a particular perspective.

The origin of the theater, a song and dance, which can be analyzed into two kinds: (1) court music and dance, the Qing dynasty Nalan Seide "Bryant Pavilion Miscellany" cloud: "Liang when the music of the big clouds, made an old man play the story of the changes in the Western region of the gods and goddesses, the Yu Ling really began here." Liu Shipei in the "original play" in accordance with the ancient music and dance more makeup characters of the fact that "opera, derived from the ancient music and dance also ...... is solid with the latter part of the opera is also close to.

"Permanent Man in the country in the original music and dance and theater", a more systematic examination of the original music and dance theater factors that "primitive society in the simple music and dance, is later made into a perfect drama of the precursor". Zhou Yibai's "Chinese theater history" will be the earliest source of Chinese drama to "Zhou Qin music and dance".

(2) Ancient song and dance, Zhang Geng, Guo Hancheng, edited by the General History of Chinese Opera, the first sentence of the opening of the cloud: "The origin of Chinese opera can be traced back to the primitive era of song and dance. "We know that all art originates from labor, Chinese song and dance is no exception.

The Book of Books. Shun Dian" said: "I hit the stone attached to the stone, the rate of the hundred beasts dance."

The so-called rate of the hundred beasts dance, not like the later Confucian mystification, that is, in the saints of the world, even the hundred beasts have come to worship and dance, this dance is to use the stone to hit or hit the stone with the hand to hit the section of the Qin, and even the drums did not have, can be seen to be very primitive. Later, there was a drum, the so-called "drum of the dance," which is further.

This dance may be a primitive religious ceremony before going out to hunt, or it may be a celebration ceremony after coming back from hunting, "Lv's Spring and Autumn. Ancient Music" says: "Emperor Yao was established, was ordered to quality for music, quality is like the sound of the mountains, forests, streams and valleys in order to sing, is a violent leather to put the percussion and drums, is patting the stone and striking the stone to be like the sound of God's jade chime, so as to dance the hundred beasts.

"This is a legend about ancient music and dance in the Warring States period. Through this description of the song and dance can be seen a primitive hunter hunting in the mountains and forests of the scene: "one side of the whistling, the other side of the beat, all kinds of pottery, stone tools sound to terrorize the beasts, so the beasts on the wolf run like a beast and finally fell into the net, the primitive age of the artist "quality" (in fact, not a person, but all the people at that time). This primitive age artist "quality" (actually not a person, but all the people at that time) is according to the actual life to create the hunting dance, then the so-called "hundred beasts" is actually a person wearing the animal skin and "dance" scene, but for the hunting life of the pleasant and exciting memories.

Of course, at this time, the scene is already artistic, music, dance are already rhythmic, this dance with a strong ritual, it is the clan's protective god or ancestor prayers, in order to go out to hunt a good harvest, or hunting back to thank the gods and goddesses and held. But no matter what ceremony it is, and no matter how thickly it is clothed in primitive religion, its actual significance is a kind of drill and exercise for labor, which not only exercises the proficiency of the hunters, but also cultivates the young hunters, the Book of Books.

Shun Dian" in the order of Kui "can music teach the children" record.
