地方志를 통해 본 淸代 中南지구의 歲時行事와 演戱

Abstract

In this article, I researched the aspects of seasonal event and performing arts in south central region through the chronicles of provinces in Qing dynasty, and then I weighed the implications it could have in the history of performing arts. As a result, the spread of seasonal event was found to have been largely carried out by two channels. One was the route from city to city and the other was the route from the economic core of the individual city to the periphery. I think that diffusion through these two channels has two meanings. The first is that it has expanded the base of performance culture from the upper to the lower classes. The second is that it enables repeated reproduction of kinds of plays. Looking at south China as a whole, the development of performing arts was not significantly differentiated by region but there were small differences depending on the ecological conditions of the unit city, so it can be called “largely the same but small difference”.
