What kind of stage art is drama?

"A dramatist tells stories by singing and dancing" (a simple definition of drama in Wang Guowei's Textual Research on the Origin of Drama). China's ancient drama is called drama because it takes "drama" and "qu" as the main factors. It is a unique comprehensive stage art form in China, which combines the traditional drama art forms of China such as music, dance, literature, poetry, martial arts, acrobatics and dance beauty.
