What is the definition of dramatic action?

In drama, formalization is action. From the perspective of artistic taxonomy, drama is the art of action. It has two basic qualities: (1) "Action is the will to realize"; (2) "Action inevitably leads to conflict in essence" (Hegel). Dramatic action is not equal to people's behavior in daily life. For the latter, it must be selected, refined and endowed with the above two qualities before it becomes a dramatic action. Will and conflict, arising from the past, directly point to the future, and their perceptual process now is drama plot and character history. Because action is to realize the will and cause conflict, it will "lead to action and reaction" and it will be dramatic. When we watch a drama, we feel "dull", "cold" and "hopeless", mostly because of the lack of really dramatic action. Truth without action is not the truth of drama.
