Among modern Chinese writers, Lao She is the only writer who can combine literature with quyi, pay attention to the development of quyi for a long time, and personally participate in the socialist transformation of quyi, especially the main genre (cross talk) after the founding of New China.

In the early days of liberation, Lao She, as a well-known writer, actively devoted himself to the socialist transformation of cross talk, and Luo Changpei, Lu Shuxiang, Wu Xiaoling and other scholars formed a cross talk improvement group with Sun Yukui, Liu Dezhi, Hou Baolin and other cross talk actors.

Moreover, the art form of cross talk and even quyi has completed its own positioning in the new society and new situation, established its artistic status, set the tone for the development of new cross talk in the future, and has influenced the development of cross talk today.

Lao She's "Teahouse" and "Dragon's Whisker Ditch" established the unique style of the Beijing People's Art Theater and founded the Beijing People's Art Theater School of Drama. "Dragon's Whiskers" is the foundation work of the Beijing People's Art Theater's school of acting, and the script establishes a realistic and vivid image for the performance, emphasizing the foundation of creating a vivid image from life.

This has played a fundamental and key role in the growth of China's drama industry and the Beijing People's Art Theater, and the style of the Beijing People's Art Theater gradually formed on this basis has been inherited and used by the directors and actors of Beijing Renyi.

Lao She has 2 representative works of drama: "Teahouse" and "Longxugou".

1, "Teahouse".

"Teahouse" is a drama written by modern writer Lao She in 1956, which was first published in the inaugural issue of Ba Jinren's "Harvest" magazine in July 1957. In June 1958, it was published by the China Drama Publishing House. The play shows the social changes in the past half century in the three eras of the Wuxu Reform, the warlord melee, and the eve of the founding of New China.

2, "Dragon Whisker Ditch".

"Longxugou" is an ode to socialist New China, which is based on the story of the protagonist Cheng Madman who changed from an artist to a "madman" in the old society, and from a "madman" to an artist after liberation. The play depicts the different encounters of 4 families in a small courtyard in Beijing in social change, showing the great changes in the old and new eras.

In the play, Cheng Madman, Aunt Wang, Niangzi, Ding Si's sister-in-law and other distinctive characters are created.

Features of the drama:

1. Stage.

Ancient and modern Chinese and foreign drama performances are completed with the help of the stage, the stage has a variety of styles, the purpose is twofold: one is to benefit the actors to perform the plot, and the other is to benefit the audience from all angles.

2. Intuitiveness.

Drama is first of all through the actors' postures, movements, dialogues, monologues and other performances, which directly affect the audience's visual and auditory senses; Then use makeup, costumes and other means to shape the characters, so that the audience can directly appreciate the appearance characteristics of the characters in the play.

3. Comprehensive.

Drama is a comprehensive art, which is characterized by the need and adaptation to the needs and adaptation of shaping specific artistic images on the stage and directly showing the social life scene to the audience.

Teahouse Sunrise in my life.

Lao She's refinement of the plot of the drama and the portrayal of the characters are based on his own unique observation, analysis and experience of life. His theatrical creations have the subtle and simple style of prose, often seeing "intensity" in the "bland", and revealing profound social significance in the description of ordinary words. Most of his characters are not heroes, but ordinary lower-class citizens and street residents.

From the historical fate of these "little people", the reader or audience is asked to feel the pulse of the times. The author is very familiar with the life and characters he reflects, and the expression is like flowing water, fine, and natural.

Another artistic feature of Lao She's drama is that it relies on characters to win rather than "plot". Before liberation, Lao She was mainly a ** family, and he had accumulated rich experience in character depiction.

He writes the script with a ** family, and is good at sketching a lifelike character with a few strokes. His scripts, except for a few such as "Family Portrait", do not have a very complete and suspenseful story, but the living characters with different personalities have attracted great attention from readers or audiences, and they depreciate reality and express themes through the successful shaping of character images. A play like "Teahouse", which involves more than 50 years and has more than 70 characters, does not have the concentrated and compact storyline of ordinary plays, but these many flesh-and-blood characters jointly perform a "big story" of the evolution of the world.

Without a high degree of artistic skill in mastering the characters, it is difficult to write such a play well. In "Teahouse", not only Wang Lifa, Chang Siye, and Qin Zhongyi write real and vivid and have distinct personalities, but also many characters who only appear once and only speak three or five sentences are also firmly "nailed" to the picture of the skillfully hand-painted social customs painting, which is unforgettable. It is these characters, each with their own fate, who reflects the face of that era.

The plots are interlocking, and the characters are shaped in a single line, within a small range, and the cross-sectional examination is sketched in white.

There are "The Story of Cat City", "Camel Xiangzi", "The Biography of Niu Tianci", "Divorce", "Dragon Whisker Ditch", "Xiaopo's Birthday" and so on.

Lao She's representative works include the long ** "Camel Xiangzi", and the four generations are in the same hall, and the dramas include "Teahouse" and "Dragon Whisker Ditch".
