Ji
Drama writers in yuan dynasty. One is Ji Tianxiang, whose date of birth and death is unknown. Ghost Record records that he was contemporary with Tingyu Zheng and Li Shouqing. Modern researchers know that Li Shouqing is a Zhiyuan (year number) person, from which we can infer the age of his activities. There are 6 kinds of zaju, only 1: Zhao orphan revenge, Zhao orphan revenge. Another drama, Chen's Enlightenment and Dream 1, has only 1 left.
The orphan of Zhao is mainly included in Zuo Zhuan, Shi, Liu Xiangxin's preface, Shuo Si. The author refined, reformed and invented it. The story goes like this: During the Spring and Autumn Period, Tu'an Gu, the minister of the State of Jin, murdered Zhao Dun, a loyal minister, causing more than 300 people in the Zhao family to be beheaded, and only the infant of his grandson was saved by the righteous. After discovering that someone was secretly helping orphans, Tu'an Gu ordered the slaughter of all domestic children over one month and under half a year old. In order to save orphans and children all over the country, Cheng Ying resolutely gave his son to repair the roof for orphans, and his best friend Gongsun Chujiu sacrificed his life to absolve Cheng Ying from the responsibility of saving orphans. Zhao's orphans were brought up by their parents. Twenty years later, Zhao's orphans were captured and avenged. This is an excellent tragedy, with vivid characters, gripping dramatic conflicts, intense and generous atmosphere, lashing sinister and cruel acts and praising the lofty spirit of justice. Although there is a feudal patriarchal color in the play, it does not hide its glory. Some researchers have linked "protecting Zhao" to the political slogan of safeguarding the rights to the Song Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty, inferring that the author misses the Song Dynasty and can also mention it. The play has a meta version (40% off) and a Ming version (50% off). The Yuan version has no theme, but the Ming version has complete themes and is excellent. Its characters' language is refined and personalized, which is also superior in the whole Yuan Zaju. However, there is a contradiction in the fifth compromise. The orphan was 20 years old when he mourned Jin Gong. The Ming version also has contradictions in other details. Doubt is not what it used to be. The orphan of Zhao has a great influence in the history of drama development, and many plays have been adapted and staged all the time. In the 18 and 19 centuries, more English and French versions appeared on the stage of European drama, which attracted worldwide attention.
