几百年来,戏曲所习惯的、也最普遍的演出形式,是不用布景的。舞台上只有简单的几样装置:“守旧”和一桌二椅,演员就在空舞台上进行创造。对于这,有些同志认为,戏曲形成于封建社会,受了当时的物质条件的限制,所以不用布景;因之,便把不用布景归结为戏曲的落后。这是不能说服人的。有没有布景,这不能作为衡量戏曲形式是先进还是落后的一个标准。艺术形式有没有生命力主要看它能不能反映生活。戏曲,它不但能够而且相当广阔、深刻地反映了生活,这就证明它不是落后的。 For centuries, the opera is accustomed to, but also the most common form of performance is not set. There are only a few simple devices on the stage: “old-fashioned” and a table and chairs, the actors are on the stage to create. For this, some comrades think that the drama was formed in the feudal society and was limited by the material conditions at that time, so there was no need for setting scenery. Therefore, it was attributed to the backwardness of traditional opera. This is not persuasive. There is no set, this can not be used as a measure of the form of opera is advanced or backward a standard. Art form has no vitality mainly depends on whether it can reflect life. Opera, it not only can and quite broad, profoundly reflects the life, which proves that it is not backward.
