Item description from seller

Summary:"Operas were offerings to village gods performed on temple stages during annual festivals. They first appeared in the eleventh century and were still performed in Shanxi villages in the nineteenth century. This book discusses a number of old village scripts, reconstructs where and how village opera was performed, and considers the role of ritual opera in premodern rural Chinese culture."-- Provided by publisher.
