How did it come into being in japanese theatre?

In Japanese, the word drama is written as "Zhiju". "Zhi" means grassland, and "Ju" means existence, which shows that the original Japanese drama is not performed on the stage, but on the grassland. Influenced by the popular Buddhist culture in China after the Tang Dynasty, Japanese Shintoism began to prevail, and the samurai class built a large number of buildings. Temples and shrines are widely built, and religious activities and folk sacrificial activities are held regularly. Therefore, in the atmosphere of religious ceremonies, drama gradually took shape with the help of temples and shrines.
