The name means literally "southern drama", and the form originated in the area around Wenzhou in southeastern China. Nanxi is an abbreviation of ''nanqu xiwen'' (南曲戲文, "Southern music theatre text") or ''nan xiwen''. ''Nanxi'' started as combinations of Song plays and local folk songs and ballads, using colloquial language with many scenes.

By the middle of the Ming dynasty, ''Nanxi'' had developed into a more complex dramatic form known as ''Chuanqi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
