Abstract

Chinese drama came in the course of centuries, have achieved splendid results, is also facing an unprecedented crisis. So that the real cause of the crisis drama is not the "market" and "the impact of visual arts" and "lack of government investment," but its "modernity" departure from the spirit. This is mainly reflected in: the extreme shortage of human spirit, the lack of depth and artistic value of the mode of anomie. On one hand, magnificent achievements had been achieved for China stage play in the past century; on the other hand, there is an unprecedented crisis in the field at present. There are some reasons for China stage play falling into the trouble: market economy, the influence of film and TV or shortage of government appropriations, but the key problem is lack of the spirit of modernity that the stage plays are in serious shortage of humanism, without depth of pattern and loss of art value
