Abstract

The authors introduce the historical background of the drama movement in the Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region from three aspects: the establishment of the border region, its cultural ecology, and revolutionary literary and art work. This paper focuses on the development process of the border region's drama movement in three stages: its rise with the founding of the border region, its rapid development during the stalemate stage of the War of Resistance against Japan, and its vigorous growth under the spirit of "Yan'an". It particularly conducts in-depth research on the development status of different types of dramas during the stalemate stage of the War of Resistance. It is thus believed that the drama movement is of great historical significance, serving as a powerful cultural resistance against Japan, an effective mobilization of the masses, and a beneficial reform movement of traditional operas.
