The Poetic Display of Truth, Goodness and Beauty on the Chinese Stage

Summary/Abstract: Shakespeare's research on the deformation and influence of China constitutes an important field of cultural, literary and dramatic relations between China and foreign countries. This article comprehensively and systematically introduces the spread, translation, adaptation, and performance of Shakespeare's plays in China over the past 60 years. Tightly around the deformation and variation of Shakespeare's drama, from the perspective of text adaptation and stage combination, it contemplates the “Chineseization” by adaptation process. The study also examines the collision and integration of Chinese culture with the different aesthetic principles of realism and freehand brushwork for both Shakespearean and Chinese drama.
