China is a land of vigorous vitality, where almost every culture can find its own suitable space to grow. Chinese drama is like this, it does not come from our country, but it still has a large audience in our country, it originated in the early 20th century, when the Qing Dynasty fell, drama began to enter our country from the West, after so many years of development, it has become mature, more suitable for the basic conditions of our country. The basic demarcation mark of drama is at the time of the founding of New China. Before the founding of New China, the type of drama was closer to the life of the time with more western elements, mainly satire. After the founding of the new China, the type of drama has become more diversified and has a more luxuriant vitality.

? First, the first half of the 20th century, drama through ups and downs

The background of the birth of drama is in the Qing dynasty after the fall, some aspiring people in order to save the country from the fire, began to focus on the West, and the introduction of Western drama to China. At the same time they made a little change to distinguish our Chinese drama. At that time, most of the dramas were mainly satirical, satirizing the feudal dynasty. The drama that was born in 1907 was the first drama in China, and that year was also the first year of the development of drama in China. Those people used dramas to express what they could not say in their own lives.

II. There are two different stages in the development of drama

It is divided into the period of the Cultural Revolution and the post-reform and opening-up period. During the Cultural Revolution, most of the Chinese dramas were interpretations of the stories of the founding leaders, and the characters they adopted were those leaders. The Cultural Revolution was very depressing for the spiritual development of people, and after the Cultural Revolution, there was a new breakthrough in Chinese dramas. By the time of reform and opening up, Chinese drama had developed even more vigorously, incorporating more new elements, so that drama could not be replaced by other entertainment programs, and it had a certain status in people's lives and thoughts.

The origins of Chinese drama come from the West, and some people think that this is the beginning of the colonization of Western culture, but in fact it is not, we will do a series of changes in the drama, so that it is more suitable for our land. Our drama, both in the 20th century and now, is very different from that of the West. The birth of Chinese drama is a positive manifestation of our positive attitude throughout its development.
