Summary:碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 中國文學系 === 103 === The overall objective of this study is to explore the interactive relationship between "Taiwan's Peking Opera" and "playwriting of Peking opera " from the perspective of political and social changes. The subject period in this study including the Japanese occupation, during the anti-Japanese war and the period after Nationalist Party government moved to Taiwan. More specifically, the aim of this study attempts to explore how political patterns seek a breakthrough in the development of Peking opera, further restricting or promoting the adaption of Peking opera. Meanwhile, this study try to indicate the market which established by changes in social conditions, how affects the development of Peking opera. Also, we would like to know the way of market and art respond to Peking opera with political ideologies. There are the following characteristics of Peking opera development of this period (1949-1965): First, the development of policy followed the anti-Japanese war mode; Second, Peking Opera is portrayed as cultural propaganda weapon, for all intents and purposes. Although the creation of policy plays can go hand in hand with the creation of art, but policy plays got a poor response. Third, the development of opera became more popular through the media. Fourth, censorship dominated creation and performance, so it’s difficult to make a living, the troupe and actors gradually merged by the army, in order to subsistence. Fifth, actors and amateur performers, tend to blur the boundaries. Sixth, drama school system formed, the new generation of actors grew, appeared on the stage. In brief, the Peking opera of this period in Taiwan, seeking to create a pattern on one side, but because of political and social conditions, it is also constrained on the other side. However, the artistic-oriented Peking opera did not completely obliterate by the political considerations. This period can be regarded as a consolidation, and ultimately selected the most suitable development model for Peking opera.
