Hsiao. 330 $aThis study draws together various elements in late Ming culture ? illustration, theater, literature ? and examines their interrelation in the context of the publication of drama. It examines a late Ming conception of the stage as a mystical space in which the past was literally reborn within the present. This temporal conflation allowed the past to serve as a vigorous and immediate moral example and was considered a hugely important mechanism by which the continuity of the Confucian tradition could be upheld. By using theatrical conventions of stage arrangement, acting gesture, and frontal address, drama illustration recreated the mystical character of the stage within the pages of the book, and thus set the conflation of past and present on a broader footing. 410 0$aChina studies (Leiden, Netherlands) ;$vv. 12. 606 $aChinese drama$yMing dynasty, 1368-1644$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChinese drama$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a895.124609 676 $a951.026 700 $aHsiao$b Li-ling$f1964-$01065613 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454101503321 996 $aThe eternal present of the past$92547020 997 $aUNINA
